conductors are removed.
Note: To avoid damaging the retainer spring, do
not attempt to remove all the conductors
at once.
Note: An adjustment screw on crimping clamp
can be set to limit return on crimping bar.
This screw can be adjusted to reduce the
number of strokes required for crimping
a two-wire splice when using the hand
pump, but must be completely backed off
for crimping 3-wire bridge splices.

6.11 Half-Tapping Usingthe 3M™ MS2™ Half Tap
Module 4008
The 3M™ MS2™ Splicing System can be used to
half tap a run or through cable without cutting
the conductors by using the 3M™ MS2™ Half
Tap Module 4008. The base and body/bottom
of the module are colored green and contain
no cut-off blades. Through wires placed in
the base will be electrically connected by the
elements, but not cut off.
SLACK
Minimum Requirements:
600 Pair or less ...8" (205 mm)
600-1500 Pair .....8" (205 mm) – 14" (355 mm)
The preferred splicing sequence is to start
with the back bottom groups working up the
back side.
Note: Exception – Layered cable must be spliced
starting with the center groups. This
requires a larger opening to assemble the
cable in 25-pair groups.
When pulling slack, always allow binder groups
to fall so that they will be on each side of the
support tube when it is mounted. The cable
twist will establish the most natural position.
It is preferred to place the tap cable on top of
the cable to be removed.
Lay run (or through) conductors only in the
module base with conductors to be removed
out the front of module (spring side.) Use one
splicing head.
6.11.1Opencablesheathandexposeconductorsthe
length of the splice closure plus the amount of
necessary slack.
6.11.3 Identify binder groups.
Note: Layered cable must be counted and
identified in 25-pair groups. Verify all
spare pairs.
6.11.4 Mount splicing rig. Use one splice head on
short traverse bar.
Splice head should be positioned so that the 2-
banks of modules will end up positioned 1" (25
mm) to the left of center of the opening, and
1" (25 mm) to the right of center. See Section
6.11.11.

8.0 Engineering
8.1 Job Planning
A major consideration while planning is
the maximum protection of the feeder plant
network. Restriction of reentry into the main
feeder splice must be emphasized.
8.2 Moisture Protection
All 3M™ MS2™ Modules are available in either
dry versions for pressurized, vault or inside
spliceapplications;encapsulatedversionsfor
moisture resistance in free-breathing aerial
spliceclosures;orinadryversionwithsealant
box for maximum moisture protection in non-
pressurized PIC splicing applications.
8.3 Fire Retardancy
All dry MS2 module types are available in
flame retardant versions for vault and inside
splice applications. All materials that comprise
the fire retardant MS2 modules meet UL
Standard94-VOrequirementsandpossessan
OxygenIndexof28orgreaterperASTMTest

• 50%ormoreoftheconductorsrequire

• Deterioratedsplices
• Discreteconnectorsplices
• Splicesalreadypartiallyconverted
8.4.2 Disadvantages of Rebuilding:

• Timeconsuming
8.4.3 Advantages of Rebuilding:
• Abilitytoplugandunplug
• Improvelifeandusabilityofsplice
• Easeofmaintenance
8.4.4 Special Considerations:
• Inlinesplicesrequire10"to12"
(254 to 305 mm) of slack for conversion
• Withoutrequiredslack,piecingoutis
necessary
• Piecingoutrequiresadditionalmodulesin
splice, resulting in reduced splice capacity
in splice closure
• Usepropersymbolstofullyidentifyall
splice points
Note: If Rear Spring Holder is used, a minimum
of 6" (152 mm) of slack is required.
8.5 Rebuild Coding
Engineering, by chart computation, will
determine how many module banks will be
required to complete a specific splice. Splice
bank configurations and splice types are listed
on the work print at each splice location
according to a simple coding system.
This system tells the splicer what connectors
are required and what configuration the splice is
to be built in. It also indicates to the engineer
what flexibility the splice has for the future.
This coding is added to the cable records for
future reference.
S – Straight
F – Facility
J – Junction
L – Load
X – Non-standard
RN – Rebuild needed
RC – Rebuild completed
Note: Code always starts with a number
representing the number of banks in a
splice. One of three configurations will
be used.

8.6.5 Splice Data
Data in the following tables was obtained from
splices prepared according to the instructions in this
practice.WhentheBundleO.D.isclosetoSplice
Case or Sleeve I.D., the craftsperson must use extra
carenottoexceedthemaximumO.D.Ifsealant
boxesareused,increasevaluesapproximately25%.
8.6 Splice Planning
8.6.1 Splice sizing is necessary to determine
the proper sheath opening and the proper
splice closure size. Too many cable
conductors spliced in a closure without
adequate splice banks may stress wires
with module movement. Reentry and
churning conductors without proper
planning, leads to rapid deterioration of
cables at their weakest point – the splice.
Calculate splice and closure size using the
following factors:
• Cablepaircount
• Wiregauge
• Connectortype
• Splicingmethod
8.6.2 Unilength Splicing Method
Wire is brought across the splice opening
plus 2" (51 mm.) Wire bundle must be
folded back and then spliced into the
module.
