Bevelling The Edge Of The Core Insulation During Installation
In this Webisode Nexans discuss bevelling or chamfering the edge of the core insulation during installation of the Euromold connectors.
Carefully read the installation instructions that come with the separable connector kit in order to perform the correct preparation for the specific cable you have at hand. For most cable types, the first steps are the removal of the cable outer sheath and removal of the semi-conductor screen.
Then remove the core insulation from the conductor. Standard core insulation removal tools will leave a sharp, 90° edge of the insulation. If not taken care of, this might damage the inside of the cable accessory during installation.
A sharp edge will also scrape off silicone grease, making it more difficult to install the cable adaptor for the Euromold connector.
So to avoid cable damage and to assure an easy slip-on of the cable accessory, the edge of the core insulation should be bevelled using an appropriate tool. Tools that provide a 45º chamfer are often used in the field, but tools that provide a smooth radius are even better.
For some conductor sizes, an installation tool is available to further ease the installation of the cable adaptor.
