Weatherproofing on A8n 2.4GHz Radio Antenna Ports
1.
Start wrapping a layer of electrical tape from 1/4” (6mm) above the edge of the RF cable
connector. Overlap the tape to half –width. The tape should cover the RF cable connector
body, and extend 1” (25mm) above the cable connector clamping nut.
The tape can be applied in one or more strips if necessary. A strip can be coiled onto an
applicator such as a pencil. Apply only enough tension to get good adhesion and keep the
tape smooth.

2.
Start wrapping a layer of butyl rubber tape from the base of the A8n series 5GHz antenna
port. Overlap the tape to half –width. Finish the wrap at 1” (25mm) above the electrical tape
and cut the tape. Take extra care to make sure that the RF cable connector to A8n series
5GHz antenna port junction is tightly sealed. Press the tape edges together so that there are
no gaps. Press the tape against the RF cable connector body and the A8n series 5GHz
antenna port.
3.
If enhanced UV protection is required, start wrapping a layer of electrical tape from the base
of the A8n 2.4GHz antenna port. Overlap the tape to half –width. Finish the wrap at 1”
(25mm) above the butyl rubber tape and cut the tape.
