ONNECTIONS

For the best connection, note the following suggestions:

✦

Try to place the connection between cables inside a building, underneath an eave,

or in another location similarly shielded from rain.

✦

When securing cables, place a cable clip or tie on each side of the connection

point so the movement of the cables does not cause the connection to pull apart.

✦

It is a good practice to leave an extra length of cable near the connection point in

case future adjustments or repairs are necessary.
