Antenna Cable Route

Shortening the antenna cables voids the Warranty and may conflict with radio certifications and/or approvals.

The cable should not be installed into tight positions, as bending or applying excessive force to the connectors may damage the antenna cable. Always allow the cable to bend naturally around corners. The recommended bend radius is 25 mm (1 in.).

The low-loss antenna cable must be secured along its complete length. No part of the cable should be allowed to hang free. This is particularly important for cable parts that are installed outdoors. The antenna cables and cable connectors are not designed to withstand excessive force:

∙Do not use connectors as cable grips to pull cable through raceways or conduits.

∙Do not use cable connectors to support the weight of the cable during or after installation.

∙Do not use tools to tighten connectors (finger-tighten only).
