Important: Twisted-pair wires provide an effective "shield" that helps protect sensitive electronic components from electrical interference. If the wires were covered with shielding, install new shielding.

In order to prevent electrical interference from degrading the performance of the connected components, you must maintain the proper specification when making any repairs to the twisted-pair wires shown :

   • The wires must be twisted a minimum of 9 turns per 31 cm (12 in) as measured anywhere along the length of the wires.
   • The outside diameter of the twisted wires must not exceed 6.0 mm (0.2 in).
   • The drain wire must be placed along the length of the twisted-pair.
   • The twisted-pair and the drain wire must be continuously covered by shield tape, aluminum side inward. The shield tape must be covered with tape.
