I have some 10mm SWA that I shall be using to supply power to an outbuilding. I know the general consensus is that terminating it is not for the uninitiated (nor, as I discovered yesterday when I stripped some of it back, for the feeble or faint-hearted ).
But I am good with my hands, and have a natural empathy with mechanical things, and I am quite confident that with a bit of practice I'll be able to fit it into glands and get a good termination on the armour. I also have more cable than I need, and so have some on which I can practice.
So a couple of questions:
1) Are glands re-usable, or do they contain components like a compression olive that make them 1-shot? If not re-usable, how many goes might I need to become proficient?
2) What's the favourite way to cut through the armour?
Thanx
