Final Approach
Routing Cable and Grounding at
the House Entry Point
1. Locate a grounding block.
2. Attach the grounding block to the side of your house close to
the point you have chosen as the coaxial cable entry point.
You may have to use anchors, togglers, or wood screws
depending on the surface on which you are mounting the
grounding block.
3. Route the coaxial cable extending from the bottom of the
mast to the grounding block. A few important reminders:
• If you are routing the coaxial cable along the ground, make
sure the cable is buried deep enough so that it will not be
damaged or uncovered.
• If you are routing the coaxial cable above the ground, use
cable clips to secure it to a wall or surface.
• Make sure you route the coaxial cable in an area where
people or animals are not likely to come in contact with the
cable.
4. Make a 3" - 5" drip loop using cable clips at the grounding
block as shown. This will prevent water from running into
the connection at the grounding block.
5. Connect the end of the coaxial cable to the grounding block.
6. Locate the central building ground.
