Remove the shield layer of the shielded network cable.
Connect the cable to the ground clip.
Wrap the cable with waterproof and ESD tapes.
NOTE
l When wrapping the waterproof tape, stretch the tape evenly until the tape turns twice its original
length.
l Wrap each layer of tape tightly and neatly, and ensure that each layer of tape overlaps more than
50% of the preceding layer.
l Ensure that the side with adhesive tape is covered on the wrapped tape.
l When cutting off the cable tie, reserve an extra length of 3 mm to 5 mm.
An outdoor antenna must be installed on a pole with a diameter of 30 mm to 50 mm and
the thickness must be at least 2.5 mm. A 50 mm diameter pole made of round steel is
usually used.
Weld the lightning rod on the top of the antenna pole.
Install the antenna pole on a parapet or concrete bed on the roof of the building.
Use a 40 mm x 4 mm flat steel to connect the antenna pole to an earth mat.
Secure the directional outdoor antenna on the pole with an antenna support.
