Figure E-4. Assembling the connector on the RP end
Cable splicing
Some cables are run in one piece from source
to destination and have connector
terminations. In other cases, two shorter pieces of cable need to be spliced together.
When a cable is run to outdoor devices, you should take measures to ensure that cables
are properly protected against moisture entering the cable. This is especially important
when the jacket is stripped back from the wires.
Some cables are gel filled and the termination includes
cleaning the excess gel and
blocking the end with silicone sealant to prevent future leakage. A typical blocking
method uses a 2 cm length of
Alpha Wire PVC-105-2 tubing or equivalent.

inside the tubing with B-sealant.
