How to Terminate SY Cable with Cable Glands

Terminating a cable is the process of fitting it to a plug or piece of equipment. Here is the normal procedure for terminating SY cables via the installation of cable glands:

Cut and fit a shroud to the cable gland. A shroud, typically made from heat-sensitive TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), is a protective jacket that provides additional protection from environmental damage and corrosion
Remove the cable gland nut and slide it onto the cable
Remove the cable gland washer and slide it onto the cable too
Unscrew the (typically rubber) compression seal from the cable gland and put this onto the cable
Mark the length of the gland onto the outer sheath of the cable and peel back the sheath to that distance
Remove most of the steel braiding from the exposed inner wire, leaving only 50mm
Twist the remaining braiding into two pigtail shapes on either side of the wire
Slide the part of the gland with slots onto the cable, lining up the pigtail shapes with the slots
Screw the first brass washer onto the gland
Fold the pigtail shapes into the corresponding slots
Screw the second brass washer into place
Apply a locknut to the pigtails in the slots and cut off any protruding material
Screw the compression seal and washer back into the gland and tighten the nut
