13.7.12 Antenna Connection Weatherproofing
Whe
re a cable connects to an antenna or unit from above, a drip loop should be left to ensure
that water is not constantly channeled towards the connector.
Figure 143 - Forming a Drip Loop
All joints should be weatherproofed using self-amalgamating tape. It is recommended that a
layer of PVC tape be placed over the self-amalgamating tape to protect the joint while the
self-amalgamating tape cures and gives additional protection. Figure 144 shows this
diag
rammatically for the 600 Series bridge end of the antenna cables. If the antenna
manufacturer has not supplied guidance on this matter, the same technique should be
employed at the antenna end of the cable.
