Cable Dress Recommendations – Properly securing the IF Cable to the tower or pole
structure is important since poorly dressed cables can be abraded by the friction of wind
action and cable connection can be degraded over time by the same stresses. When
securing the IF Cable to the tower or pole, Trango recommends using tie wraps that are
UV resistant (black) to minimize deterioration. Tie wraps should be at least ¼ in wide
and pulled only as tight as needed to snug the cable to the structure. Narrow tie wraps
or over-tightening a tie wrap can compromise the internal structure of the coax and
degrade performance. The IF Cable should be secured to the tower or mounting pole at
least every 3 to 6 ft with tie wraps or other approved methods. Hanger Assemblies and
Cable Clamps are offered by tower companies that can provide an even more rigid
attachment for high wind environments.
Cable Terminations - Robust cable and cable connections are CRITICAL to the long-term
performance of the link. Any compromise in material, connection precision, or
weatherproofing may result in problems that are difficult to fault isolate and only
emerge after the link has been exposed to the normal stresses of temperature, rain, and
winds.
Cable Type -Trango strongly recommends the use of quality LMR-400 cable and top of
the line connectors complimented by well-trained installation personnel following
manufacturer's instructions. Other types of cable may not have adequate shielding and
may cause or receive outside interference.
