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.
