when the radome surface is wet.
Wind: Withstand relative average winds up to 100 MPH from any
direction.
Vibration: Withstand externally imposed vibrations in all 3 axes, having
displacement amplitudes as follows:
Frequency Range, Hz Peak Single Amplitude
4 - 10 0.100 inches (0.1G to 1.0G)
10 - 15 0.030 inches (0.3G to 0.7G)
15 - 25 0.016 inches (0.4G to 1.0G)
25 - 33 0.009 inches (0.6G to 1.0G)
Corrosion Parts are corrosion resistant or are treated to endure effects of salt

7.9.2. Antenna L-Band TVRO IF Coax Cables (Customer Furnished)
2, 4 or 6 cables are required dependant upon which feed/LNB configuration your antenna is fitted with.
Type F male connectors installed on the cables MUST be the correct type so that they mate properly with the
cable you are using.
Due to the dB losses across the length of the RF coaxes at L-Band, Sea Tel recommends the following 75
ohm coax, or Heliax, cable types (and their equivalent conductor size) for our standard pedestal installations:
Run Length Coax Type Conductor Size
up to 75 ft LMR-300-75 18 AWG
up to 150 ft RG-11 or LMR-400-75 14 AWG
up to 200 ft LDF4-75 Heliax 10 AWG
Up to 300 ft LMR-600-75 6 AWG
For runs longer that 300 feet, Sea Tel recommends Single-mode Fiber Optic Cables with Fiber Optic
converters.
