Appendix C: Weatherproofing RF Cable Connections
Step 1. Connecting Cable Assembly to Antenna or Enclosure
Attach RF cable assembly to antenna/enclosure by fastening the N-type male
connector to the N-type female connector. Notes: Ensure both connectors are
clean and dry. Hand-tighten firmly.
Step 2. Sealing the Connector Assembly
Tightly wrap the connectors with 2 layers of rubber tape (butyl). Notes: Rubber
tape should seal entire connection and extend 1 inch beyond antenna
connector/cable assembly. 3M 3339 tape works very well in this application.
Step 3. Covering Rubber Tape with Electrical Tape
Tightly wrap the rubber tape with 2 layers of electrical tape. Note: Electrical
tape should extend 1 inch beyond rubber tape to ensure full coverage.
