Cable Connection and Grounding
Attach the single RG-6 coaxial cable to the F connector on the rear of the subscriber ODU.
Waterproof the connection using a suitable method such as taping with Scotch #88. Be sure to
leave sufficient slack to allow the antenna to be oriented and that the cable runs directly
downward from the connector to avoid water running down the cable and into the F connection.
Route the coaxial cable to the building entry point utilizing UV-resistant tie-wraps and staples or
cable clamps as required.
Mount the grounding device (e.g. Radio Shack 15-909C) as near as practicable to the point of
cable entry to the structure. See Figure F3. Connect the grounding device to a suitable
“grounding electrode”.

Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable from the subscriber ODU and the RG-6
that enters the structure to the grounding device and waterproof all exterior F connectors as
described above.

The National Electric Code, sections 820-33 and 820-40, describes this requirement in detail.
