Note to CATV System Installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section 820-93 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the coaxial cable shield be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

When installing or realigning an outside antenna system, take extreme care to avoid any contact with power lines or circuits. Contact could be fatal.
