Chapter 6. CABLE INSTALLATION
6.1 I
NTRODUCTION
Take care during cable installation. Install the cables using the most direct route and secure with
clamps and ties. Avoid all sharp bends.
Cable connectors used in outdoor applications shall be sealed to avoid leakage, particularly,
N-Type connectors. Moisture can seep into junctions at the plug end of the connector, between
the fixed and movable parts, and where the cable connects to the connector.
Signal attenuation and possible loss of signal can occur in the presence of moisture. All cable
junctions shall be sealed with a self-amalgamating tape, such as 3M, Type 23 Scotch Self-
Amalgamating tape, or equivalent, including military style (MS) connectors.
