Please Note: While these termination instructions offer a helpful guide, they should always be used alongside current backshell manufacturing instructions for best results.

About the Termination Instructions

These termination instructions are intended solely for terminating Gore’s cable protection systems with M85049/88 connector backshells, adapters, and backshells with a similar branding platform. They first detail the tools and materials you’ll need, which include:

  • Cutters and razor blade
  • Banding tool
  • Band strap
  • Shrink boot or heat shrink
  • Heat gun

Once your cables and parts are prepared, you’ll then be able to follow highly detailed, step-by-step instructions for terminating the inside cable entry of the connector backshell, as well as terminating the banding platform of the connector shell. Each step is detailed by photos and illustrations to help you ensure proper termination.
