2.3.6 Sealing the Cable Access Hole
Once the RF and data/power cables are connected to the
antenna, you need to seal and cover the cable access hole to
protect against leakage.
1. Completely seal the cable access hole with silicone
sealant or RTV.
2. Install the clamshell ventilator, supplied in the
kitpack, over the cable access hole using the three
supplied #6 screws (see Figure 2-19).
