Before & After II

AJ’s making up some bespoke cables for this project using a 36 Core Cable and an Ethernet Cable per cable.

The 36 Core cables were ordered and delivered in the required lengths, which meant that the ethernet cables needed to be cut accordingly to match.

20 pairs are required for this project where each of the 10 Control Cabinets will have two bespoke connecting cables. After laying out each of the 36 core cables and measuring out and cutting each accompanying ethernet cable to size, AJ used duct tape to bind the cable ends together before he threaded each pair through the grey Heat Shrink that you can see.

The heat shrink was also measured to size, which means that cable cutting, merging, and threading consists of many relays up and down the corridor like an athlete.

The second photo shows how the size differs before and after sheathing with heat shrink.

In due course, these cables will have their ends stripped ready for Crimping and connecting to the required fittings & components in the control cabinets.
