Many times water penetration inside the IF Cable from the Grounding point, resulting in moisture, was observed on Straight Connector and Surge Arrester part (water accumulated in the horizontal cable portion). To overcome this; set Spring Clamp for firm fixing with grounding kit. It moves when the spring clamp is not tightened. As a result, the waterproof taped part moves and a crack is built. Moistures penetrates from Grounding cable crack and accumulate at free space of connector point. The one which has possibility of moisture penetration is because of wrong point sealing, not sealed Grounding cable crack with silicon paste (silicon rubber) or not sealed with proper thickness of selfbonding tape.
Self-bonding Tape (>2mm)
cracks to be sealed
Spring Clamp for fixing 2 Shielding of cable connection part. All naked uneven metal to be shield (wraps) with self-bonding tape, without IF cable.
3 Seals of cable crack with silicon paste (silicon rubber) and then total shielding with self-bonding tape (more than 3mm thickness). 4 Protective Taping (>3 layer), with PVC tape. The direction of the winding always ends on the side of ODU/ANT or upper to prevent the infiltration of water.
Step2 Step1
Note: Crack between cables should be shielded with silicon paste before taping
Step 4. Use 100 mm black Tie wrap to tie the both ends of Earthing kit after applying the PVC tape PVC Protection Tape Tie Wrap at both ends

Water infiltration
Cracks to be sealed
Seals packing for cable fixing. The vibration of the cable always breaks this packing and shield wires of coaxial cable.
1st Step
Point seals and leveling: Use Self-Bonding (adhesion) rubber tape, pull it (stretch) until becomes thin and then wrapping on the crack point. (stretch or expand self-bonding tape to max (800% Scapa).
2nd Step
4) Silicon seals
3) suppresses
Shield with self bonding tape (more than 3mm thickness) First use a silicon seals for grounding cable to seals this cable crack.
ODU/ANT up-side
4th Step
Cable tie
ODU/ANT (up) side Use a PVC protection tape, It pulls at 1st laying for fastens up the self-bonding (autohesion) layer. Overlap the PVC tape to half width. 2nd to 3rd laying, it does usual wrapping method. The direction of the winding always ends on the side of ODU/ANT (up) to prevent the infiltration of water. Never use Vinyl insulating tape !!. The tape which has a elasticity (soft) can not use. The PVC protection tape has only a few stretch margin and it has high resistance for outdoor use (compared with the usual vinyl insulation tape).
Step 2. Apply self bonding tape to moving parts of connector to seal the gap as shown in picture. Step 3. Seal up the earth cable connection part (Thimble) gently. Step 4. Connect earth cable to surge arrestor body. Step 5. Suppress earth cable to connector body and IF cable. Step 6. Put silicon paste to seal the cracks between cables.
