Cable Splicing 1

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Cable splicing is the process of joining two cable ends together while maintaining the cable’s original design characteristics. This course focuses on cable design and preparing a cable for splicing.


COURSE GOALS

  • Identify the different parts of a typical primary cable.
  • Explain how cable design affects the capabilities of primary cable.
  • Explain how to prepare a cable for splicing.
