Coax cable seal installation
Applying coax seal tape
You must weather seal all outside coaxial connections using the coax seal tape provided in the mounting kit.
Coax connections that are not properly sealed permit moisture to enter the connection, which leads to
performance degradation or link problems.
To apply the coax seal tape, follow these steps:
1 Make sure that the coaxial cables, connectors, and the connector area are clean and dry.
2 Peel the paper backing from a length of coax seal tape.
3 Wrap each connector with the coax seal tape, starting at the coaxial cable, extending across the connector
body, and finishing close the lightning arrestor surge suppressor or grounding block. Overlap each turn at
least 50 percent so there is a double thickness over all areas. See Figure 7 on page 52.
Figure 7. Applying the coax seal tape before smoothing.
Use your fingers to mold and form the coax seal tape around the cable and connector to form a smooth, neat
surface. Be sure to squeeze out any air pockets. See Figure 8 on page 53
Note. Do not use plastic or vinyl electrical tape on the connectors because it will
deteriorate during long-term exposure to ultraviolet light and extreme weather.
