Re: Getting ready to start JR's 89259/1506a Twisted IC's but a question on the outer braid

I don't have a plug in front of me, but it's OK if the braid does not touch the signal ground at that end (the load end), however, from what I remember, there may not be room inside for that to be avoided.

In any case, the outer braid would be pushing against the teflon tape and the spacers, which would not "push back" very much, but could puncture the tape and/or the spacer material, causing the cable to fray at that point, etc. Unless you take care to provide some sort of back-stop for the set-screw that will protect the rest of the innards.
