Weatherproofing Coaxial Connectors

From TIL-TEK Antennae Inc.
 

 
Most antenna problems are caused by coaxial cable connections that loosen due to vibration, allowing moisture to penetrate the connector interface. TIL-TEK recommends that all outdoor cable connections be weatherproofed using a procedure similar to the one described below. Cable Connector - Cable Connector Step 1: Fasten connectors securely together. Ensure the connector and cables are free of foreign substances such as oil, water, grease, dirt, etc... . Step 2: Tightly wrap two (2) layers of rubber splicing tape over the connection extending one (1) inch beyond the connectors and overlapping the tape on each turn. Step 3: Tightly wrap two (2) layers of electrical tape over the rubber splicing tape extending one (1) inch beyond the rubber splicing tape.
