**Cable Routing
**
Route the cables in a safe and secure manner to avoid accidents and damage to the antenna or cables. Use cable ties and clips to keep the cables organized and secure.
-
Survey the planned cable route and look for any blocked passages. Consider alternate routes to find the best available path. Always keep the cables as short as possible to make sure that minimum cable losses are achieved.
-
Note: Take advantage of any existing cable channels. e.g wiring conduits to route the cables.
-
Avoid running cables through components or sharp apertures that may cause excessive chafing. Doing so may erode the jacket and break signal continuity. Also, avoid kinking, pinching, or twisting a cable during a run.
-
Use cable ties to secure the antenna cables.
When handling the antenna cables, it is essential you follow these basic rules: -
Never pull on the cable connectors; pull only on the cable.
-
Tighten the connectors and ensure that the cables don’t rattle loose.
**Safety
**
Use safety goggles when drilling the holes and avoid using bits that are dull, bent, or damaged. Be aware of where your fingers are in relation to the drill bit when using the drilling machine. Let the drill chuck come to a complete stop on its own to stop the drilling machine. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the drill bit or cutting tool. If you are unsure about how to install your antenna, obtain the help of a professional installer.
