[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 973498, member: 176256"] I would change the instructions that 4wd linked to a little as follows: [LIST=1] [*]Cut the plastic outer sheath back about 1/2" (13mm) [*]Don't try to twist the braid into a pigtail - that never works. Instead just pull it back over the outer sheath and spread it so that it's surrounding the sheath as evenly as possible. Incidentally the metal foil never folds back properly and should be torn off in line with the outer sheath and discarded. [*]The inner foam should be cut back so that it is almost back to the braid. About 1 - 2mm sticking out is enough. [*]Screw the plug on until the foam is just showing through into the inside of the plug. [*]Then snip the excess centre wire so that it just protrudes as per the picture. [/LIST] Make sure that there aren't any of the braids thin wires touching the centre conductor and you're good to go.
