Cable Installation

Take care during cable installation (Figure B-28). Install the cables using the most direct
route and secure with clamps and ties. Avoid all sharp bends.
Cable connectors used in outdoor applications must 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 must be sealed with a self-amalgamating tape, such as 3M, Type 23
Scotch Self-Amalgamating tape, or equivalent, including military style (MS) connectors.
