At one end of a shielded cable (Item 4) measure a distance between “Window Min” to “WindowMax” (Table B-6) and cut a window (max size 0.35”) in the jacket to expose the shield (Figure B-2). Use caution when cutting the jacket to avoid damaging the individual braids of the shield.When dealing with a densely populated connector with many cables, it may prove beneficial tostagger the windows throughout the “Window Min” to “Window Max” range. If staggering is notneeded the “Ideal Window” length is recommended.Suggested tools to accomplish the window cut:• Coaxial Cable Stripper• Thermal Stripper• Sharp Razor BladeTable B-3 Shielded Cable Preparations for Garmin ConnectorsBackhellSizeNumberof PinsStd/HDFloat Min(inches)Float Max(inches)Ideal Float(inches)WindowMin(inches)WindowMax(inches)IdealWindow(inches)1 9/15 1.25 2.25 1.75 2.75 5.25 4.252 15/26 1.5 2.5 2.0 3.0 5.5 4.53 25/44 1.5 2.5 2.0 3.0 5.5 4.54 37/62 1.5 2.5 2.0 3.0 5.5 4.55 50/78 1.5 2.5 2.0 3.0 5.5 4.5
