A professional cable termination procedure is a detailed process that must be followed precisely to ensure a reliable and safe connection. The essential steps include:

• Cable Preparation: The cable jacket and insulation layers are carefully stripped back to the required dimensions, exposing the conductors and ensuring no damage to the underlying layers.

• Stress Control: For high-voltage (HV) cables, a stress control system (e.g., heat-shrinkable or cold-shrinkable tubes) is applied to manage the electrical field at the termination point.

• Lug or Gland Installation: A lug or ferrule is securely crimped onto the conductor, and a gland is fitted to the cable entry point to provide a seal and mechanical support.

• Insulation and Sealing: A final layer of insulation and a weather-resistant seal are applied to protect the termination from environmental factors and moisture ingress.

• Testing: After termination, tests such as insulation resistance and continuity checks are performed to confirm the integrity of the connection.
