3.5 Weatherproofing Cable Connections
First Wrapping of Tape
1.
Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it.
2.
Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips
makes it easier to maneuver the tape around the connectors and other components but
is not required.
3.
Beginning at the top of the connector, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4”
(19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width.
4.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the cable’s insulation.
Figure 3-7 First Wrapping of Tape
Wrapping of Butyl Rubber
1.
Cut a piece of butyl rubber large enough to wrap around the connector and extended
past the first layer of tape.
2.
Wrap the strip of rubber around the taped connector (
Figure 3-8
).
3.
Join the two ends by pushing them together until there is no longer a seam (
Figure 3-9
).
