Re:Sweeping at 860 and QR cable


the problem you have is the conctor try a gilber 3 piece on a short run and you find the problem goes away. ppc and LRC had to rework the controcter that they are selling that is not public knowalege. but that is the problem. use a gilber 3 piece on the qr and you see the differance.

>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.
