Weatherproofing Remote Antenna Installations
Prevent water damage to the cable and connections by sealing the connections with rubber splicing tape and electrical tape. To protect the
connections, follow these steps.
1. Verify both connections are clean and dry before connecting the antenna cable to the antenna or other cable and hand-tightening.
2. Tightly wrap the entire connection with rubber splicing tape.
Begin wrapping the rubber splicing tape one inch away from the connection and continue wrapping until you are one inch past the
other end of the connection. Each new round of tape should overlap about half the previous round.
3. Protect the rubber splicing tape from UV damage by tightly wrapping electrical tape on top of the rubber splicing tape.
The electrical tape should completely cover the rubber splicing tape and overlap the rubber tape by one inch on each side of the
connection.
