Step 1: Clean the connector or the grounding clip. Step 2: Uncoil the waterproof insulation tape. Step 3: Stick one end of the tape to the IF cable 2 to 5 cm away from the connector or the grounding clip. The sticky side should face inwards. Step 4: Stretch the tape until it is 3/41/2 as wide as its original size. Stretch the tape in this manner when performing the following steps. Step 5: Wrap the cable spirally towards the connector or the grounding clip at a point that is 2 to 5 cm away from the connector or the grounding clip. Make sure that the overlapping area of the adjacent tape layers is 1/2 of the stretched width. Step 6: When the tape reaches a point that is 2 to 5 cm away from the connector or the grounding clip on the other side, reverse the wrapping direction so that the tape reaches the starting point. Step 7: When the tape reaches the starting point, reverse the wrapping direction so that the tape reaches the other ending point. That is, there are three layers of waterproof insulation tape. Step 8: After wrapping, squeeze the tape until it sticks to the cable. This ensures that there is no air between the layers of tape. Step 9: Similarly, wrap three layers of PVC tape over the waterproof insulation tape. During the wrapping, maintain the stretched length such that the width of the PVC tape is to 1/2 of the original size. Step 10: After waterproof processing, use the outdoor bundling strap to bind the PVC tape tightly at the positions 1 cm away from the wrapping edges at both ends, to prevent aging and falling off of the PVC tape.
