Cable Splicing, Part 1

SKU: TDCS100CEN

Duration: 1.00 Hr

The purpose of this course is to teach the principles of underground cable splicing and to demonstrate how cable splices are made. The course explains how to approach splicing in both primary and secondary cable. Demonstrations of splicing both types of cable are presented. At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to explain how cable splices are made. They should know how to make a splice in either primary or secondary cable. They should also understand how heat shrink and cold shrink splices are used.
