| 1. A method of securing a cable having a plurality of conductive strands forming multiple layers to a full tension deadend,
comprising:
trimming the cable to expose at least one underlying layer and a core layer;
cleaning the underlying layer to remove any oxide coating;
placing a bushing insert over the at least one underlying layer so that the underlying layer is disposed within an inner bore
of the bushing insert;
inserting the core layer into an inner recess of a gripping sleeve;
positioning the bushing insert and the gripping sleeve within a full tension deadend;
laterally compressing the full tension deadend, the bushing insert, and the gripping sleeve for securing the cable thereto.
