Running Coaxial Cable
Running Coaxial Cable
1. Using the shortest path possible, run the coaxial cable(s) from the ground
block or switch to the satellite receiver(s). Do not kink or pinch any cable.
Cables should be bent only in gentle curves.
Do not use a longer cable between the satellite dish and the
receiver than is specified in the DISH Pro or Legacy system
installation instructions. If your system requires more cable
than the limit specified in these installation instructions, you
should consider having the system professionally installed.
2. Put a drip loop in each cable at a point before it enters the building. A drip
loop allows moisture to drip from the cable before it runs into the building
or any outside connection (for example, a multi-dish switch).
Before drilling any holes in the wall or roof of your building,
make sure that there are no wires or pipes in the area of the
holes. If you are not comfortable doing this, contact a
professional in your area. Make sure that you follow all safety
instructions and building codes.
3. Locate each receiver inside the building, against or near an outside wall.
Then drill a hole through the outer wall to pass a cable inside the building. If
a receiver is located in an interior room, run a cable through the outside
wall, and into an attic, basement, or crawl space in order to reach the
receiver.
4. Seal all holes that you drill in the building with silicone or other weather-
proof sealant after installation. Once each cable is inside the building, you
may attach it to a wall receptacle or directly to a receiver.
Tighten the back panel coaxial cable connections only by
hand. Using a wrench may over-tighten the connections,
causing damage. Such damage is not covered by the Limited
Warranty in the User Guide that came with the system.
