5. Cut the cable wrap approximately four (4) inches away from point where it enters the cable-entry plate, Figure 7, 7A. This allows proper sealant coverage. Do not damage cables when cutting away the cable wrap. (The cable wrap protects and keeps together in one unit the coaxial cable, electrical cable and 8 wire data cable.) After cutting, wrap the outer cable wrap with electrical tape as shown, Figure 7, 7A. Push cable through cable entry point on roof. Do not damage cable. DO NOT APPLY SEALANT AT THIS TIME.

6. Pre-drill 1/8” holes for cable entry plate. Fasten down with screws provided. DO NOT APPLY SEALANT.
