Abstract
Provided is a method of preparing a connection for an electrical conductor. The insulation layer of an electrical conductor is cut and the insulation is separated into a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is moved away from the first portion to at least partially expose conductor strands of the electrical conductor. A strand retainer is placed around the exposed conductor strands. The insulation second portion is removed from the electrical conductor. The exposed conductor strands are inserted into an electrical connector.
