Cable Preparation for Audio Connections

The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm).

z If the stripped section of the wire is longer than 3/16", the exposed wires may touch,

causing a short circuit between them.

z If the stripped section of the wire is shorter than 3/16", the wires can be easily pulled out

even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
