A datasheet for the polyethylene jacket material is available here: DF4960 Polyethylene Foam (/fathom/DF4960.pdf).
Installation
Stripping the Jacket
1. Wearing a protective glove, bend the cable at the point that you want to cut. Bending the cable makes it easy to see
when you have cut through the jacket.
2. Using a sharp knife, gently slice the jacket open using a sawing motion. Stop when the jacket opens and you can
see the white Dacron bers underneath the jacket.
3. Turn the tether over and repeat on the other side.
4. To remove the unneeded part of the jacket, lay the tether on a sturdy at surface, then cut along the top of the part
of the tether that you wish to remove. Take care not to cut deeper than the jacket.
