2. Create a slit from to the end of the cable.

3. Flex the scored points and remove the outer jacket.

4. Push the braid back toward the overjacket, creating a bulge in the braid. Where the braid exits the outer jacket, bend the cable over on itself creating an elbow. Using a small screwdriver, create an opening in the braid at the bend elbow.
