CAUTIONS:s The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical.
The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed portion is
longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If
the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if
tightly fastened by the captive screws.
sDo not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can
become loose over time.
sFor unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact.
DO NOT connect them to negative (–) contacts.
