Weather Protection​

To better protect the Ethernet cable gland and the antenna connector from the weather, you need to cover them with PVC tape.

  1. Clean the surface area of the connector that will be wrapped. Wrap a layer of PVC tape with a 50% overlap according to the rotation direction of the connector. Continue wrapping the PVC tape to about 10 mm below the end of the connector.
Figure 292: Wrapping with PVC tape
  1. Cut off about 50 cm waterproof tape. Stretch it to double the length. Wrap three layers around the connector with a 50% overlap. Hold the tape in place with your hand for a few seconds.
Figure 293: Wrapping with waterproof tape
  1. Wrap three additional layers with PVC tape with natural uncoiling force and a 50% overlap. Make sure to cover the head and the tail of the connector.
