Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose® speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire.
• | Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape. |
• | Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). |
• | Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. |
• | Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer insulation. |
