Starting at the cable stub butt shown in
, wrap the pairs on one side of the screen with 2-inch,
pressure sensitive, aluminum tape. Overlay the tape by one-half its width and form the tape in place.
Aluminum tape provides electrical isolation from outside EMI sources. For these applications, dress out the
