2. Make sure the connection is secure and the cable extends below the connector to provide a path for water to
flow away from the base station.
3. Starting as close to the base station as possible, stretch and wind rubber splicing or self-amalgamating tape
around the connector and cable. Make sure there are no gaps. Continue wrapping until the tape is 25 mm (1
in) down the cable.
Figure 18: Wrapping the Connector with Rubber Splicing or Self-Amalgamating Tape
NOTE
Where available, use 3M™ Scotch® Super 88 electrical tape.
4. To protect the rubber splicing or self-amalgamating tape from UV damage, stretch and wind two layers of
electrical tape around the connector and cable the same way it was done in Step 3.

5. Work rubber mastic or duct sealing putty between the connector and the body of the radio or antenna. Make
sure the putty fills any gaps not covered by the tape.
