How to Install the R2T15M2 Ranger 2 Silicone Rubber Termination for Tape Shielded Cables

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the R2T15M2 Ranger 2 Shrink-fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables, including cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, and termination placement. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Cable preparation tools (e.g., strippers, knives), Crimping tool, Vinyl tape dispenser, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, if needed)

Supplies needed:

R2T15M2 Silicone Rubber Termination kit (includes termination, lubricant, silicone rubber tape, constant force spring, preformed ground braid, sealing mastic, copper foil tape, gloves), Terminal lug or connector, Vinyl tape

  1. Prepare the Cable

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation. Verify the cable size fits within the insulation range shown in the Termination Selection Chart. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length. Prepare the cable using the specified dimensions, allowing for the depth of the terminal lug and additional exposed conductor distance for aluminum lugs. Secure the tape shield edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape.

  2. Install the Ground Braid

    Wrap one band of mastic (50% stretch) around the cable jacket 1/4" (6mm) from the jacket end, cutting flush without overlap. Position the preformed ground braid with the short tail over the tape shield and the solder block centered over the mastic strip. Secure the ground braid to the cable jacket with vinyl tape and press the solder block into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band (50% stretch) over the solder block and previous mastic, cut flush, and wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal. Wrap the ground braid around the cable tape shield one complete wrap, trim excess to prevent overlap, and secure it in place with the constant force spring. Cinch the spring after the final winding and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape.

  3. Install the Lug or Connector

    Check to ensure the termination assembly fits over the selected lug. If the lug will not fit through the termination core, clean the insulation and slide the termination onto the cable before installing the lug (do not remove the core at this time). Position the connector/lug and crimp it according to the manufacturer’s directions, ensuring not to crimp the last 3/8" to 1/2" of the connector. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings and edges following crimping.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, taking care not to allow the solvent to touch the semi-con insulation shield. If abrasive must be used, apply it only to the insulation (not the semi-con insulation shield) using aluminum oxide abrasive, grit 120 or finer. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.

  5. Install the Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal between the termination insulator and the lug/connector using the gray silicone rubber electrical tape from the kit. Wrap a band of silicone tape around the base of the terminal lug (up to 2 layers, or forming a band equal to insulation diameter if the barrel is smaller). Cover the edge of the semi-con insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease to fill the step at the semi-con cut off. For lower terminations with a fold-down skirt, pull the loose end of the removable core through the top of the termination until the core is flush with the bottom. Slide the termination body onto the cable, aligning it with the forward edge of the mastic seal. Carefully remove the core by unwinding counter-clockwise, starting with the loose end. Ensure the termination body, not the core, is butted up to the leading edge of the mastic seal. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing the core.

  6. Complete Sealing and Grounding

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area, but do not lubricate the skirt tabs. Carefully fold down the skirt over the mastic seal. Complete the lug area moisture seal using the remaining gray silicone rubber electrical tape, overlapping the termination insulator by approximately 1" and extending the tape wrapping over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel with a half-lap configuration. Connect the ground braid to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5".
