make sure you use the jacket stripper when splicing
>Are any of you splicers or sweepers having trouble sweeping at 860 mhz QR-type cable? Here in the Charter system, if we do not clean the fine mylar film away from the inside of the outer aluminum jacket, it won't sweep. We are having to use small screwdrivers which have been partially sharpened to help move it back out of the way. The coring tools do not remove this fine film. We have tried various coring tools. Once in a while, one might remove the mylar. Most of the time, it doesn't. It surely is slowing us splicers down. We understand from one sweeper that there is not a problem until after it passes 800 mhz. Would like some feedback on possible solution other than what we are doing.
