1   Scope This Technical Report describes the procedure to repair damaged CATV cables. The following coaxial cables are considered in this guide:

– Coaxial cables with semi air spaced dielectric Outer conductor: copper band, longitudinal welded

– Coaxial cables foamed polyethylene or solid poly ethylene dielectric Outer conductor: copper band, longitudinal welded

– Coaxial cables foamed polyethylene or solid polyethylene dielectric Outer conductor: Overlapped foil of copper or aluminium with braid

– Coaxial cables foamed polyethylene or solid polyethylene dielectric Outer conductor: Overlapped foil of copper or aluminium without braid

– Coaxial cables foamed polyethylene dielectric Outer conductor: Corrugated copper

This guide is a helpful tool for providers and installers to find out the extend and the effects of damaged cables and to achieve and to evaluate appropriate repair operation. For not buried cables, e.g. indoor cables, the application of this guide is analogous.
