Slide the termination components - Slide the cold shrinkable termination components, such as the skirt, insulation tube, and stress cone over the prepared cable end.


Position the termination components - Position the termination components according to the manufacturer's instructions.


Apply mechanical stress-relieving components - Apply any supplied stress-relieving components, such as stress cones or adhesive, to secure the components.


Inspect - After the termination installation is complete, inspect the installation to ensure that all components are properly installed, the cable seals are tight, and that the cable is re-jacketed, as required.


Cold shrinkable termination kits offer a simple and effective means of sealing cables, even with limited space or access. They don't require heat-shrinking and can be safely installed without special equipment.
