5.1 Prepare drop cables with aramid yarn
This method is only for cases where aramid yarn is present in the cable. If no aramid yarn is present see section Prepare drop cables without aramid yarn on page 3

1. Use the strip silicone tape provided in the kit: 4 X 1,25 cm / 1.6 X 0.5 Inches.
   Attention : Make sure your hands are clean and degreased before preparing and installing the cables. Degrease the cables where the cable will enter the closure.

2. Make a mark 2 cm / 0.79 Inches from the end of the cable jacket.

3. Apply the strip of silicone tape between the mark and the jacket end. Remove the protective paper from the silicone strip. Stretch the tape minimum 50% while wrapping the tape around the cable. First apply a full turn around the cable, then continue to cover up to the jacket end. Make one turn at the end point and come back with the remaining tape.
