88 Installation / Dish Assembly
Attaching the LNB Cable to the Receiver
In the next step of the installation, route the LNB cable from the ground block to the
receiver. In most installations, there is more than one way to get the LNB cable to the
receiver from the grounding block. If the receiver is located on an outside wall, go
through the wall. If the receiver is on an inside wall, use crawl, basement, or attic
spaces. Whenever routing the LNB cable to the receiver, take the shortest possible
path and always protect it from physical damage.
Use the following steps install the cable from the ground block to the receiver:
1. Drill a 1/2" hole in the home at the access point of the cable. Before drilling, ensure
there are no wires or pipes in the area of the hole.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the ground block.
3. Form a 3 to 5 inch drip loop in the cable before inserting it in the access hole.
