Many transceiver problems can be attributed to environmental conditions (including vibration), which can loosen

cables and permit moisture to penetrate the connectors. It is highly recommended to seal the connectors using

a technique similar to the one described below. This will provide moisture protection and keep the connections

tight. For your convenience, VCom has provided two 6 inch lengths of rubber self-amalgamating sealing tape

to use on the two connections of the TR700B. The diagrams below show the N connector, but the F connector

also should be sealed using the same technique.

STEP 1

Use one 6” section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the TR700B end, stretch the tape and wrap it around the

connector as close as possible to the wall of the TR700B. Overlap the tape by approximately one-half of it’s

width so that it can form a seal with itself. Extend the wrapping to approximately one inch past the end of the

connector.

STEP 2

Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape (not provided). Start approximately one inch further down the cable,

and stretch the tape, overlapping by one-half. Wrap to the TR700B end and without breaking the tape, wrap

back down to the cable end.
