for all connections according to cable and connector manufacturer recommendations . Weatherproofing provides additional
moisture protection and will prevent the connections from loosening due to vibrations .

All external antennas are designed with vent holes. Any weatherproofing applied to the Type N connectors must not
obstruct this venting or the antenna can be damaged.
•
On the TX/RX antennas, small vent
holes are located at the bottom end of
the antenna, next to the Type N female
connector as shown in Figure 45 .
