Getting Started
Coaxial Cable Installation Precautions
• Do not bend the coaxial cable into less than a three-inch radius. Tighter bends can cause
shorts and can change the cable’s impedance.
• Do not install the coaxial cable where it will have a pulling tension greater than 15 pounds
during installation. After installation, make sure there is no tension on the cable.
• Use only round-headed staples. Any clamps or securing devices used with coax should grip
the cable evenly about the circumference without crushing the cable. Flat staples can damage
the coaxial cable.
• Do not expose the coaxial cable to a temperature greater than 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep
the cable away from heating vents and water heaters.
• The cable jacket withstands most outdoor environments. However, you must seal the
connections and splices against water entry.
