Weatherproofing
It is extremely important to weatherproof all outdoor cable connections. Weatherproofing the connections at the
outdoor unit and antennas prevents corrosion, prevents water from interfering with the connection, and helps to
keep the connection tight. Because cables also carry DC current, the need for proper weatherproofing cannot be
overstated.
We recommend the use of sealing tapes designed for outdoor use:
• 3M™ Scotch® Super 88 Electrical Tape
• Heavy-duty weather-, abrasion-, and UV-resistant rubber splicing tape or self-amalgamating tape
Rubber mastic putty or duct sealing putty must also be used to complete the weatherproofing where needed.
We do not recommend silicon seal or glue. These materials are difficult to apply accurately and are difficult to
remove. Do not use PVC tape.
