The coaxcable form the link between dish and recipient. An optimum cable quality is thus of vital importance. At a correct installation a cable of good quality that looks the strong indicator - obtained by precise mounting of the dish - the recipient with less possible quality loss reaches.

Please note: never use Coax-12 but e.g. "Belden h-125".

A cable of inferior quality has to as a rule insufficient be able to prevent losing the signal and jamming at a another signal. Moreover undesirable external indicators can penetrate, which cause jamming on the canals receive which you wish. The wiring of an installation is notable much less if the colour of the cable corresponds to those of the bldg.. But irrespective of the colour, it is very important that the cable file against ultraviolet is slightly and is arranged for use outside. At those not resistant is against Uv-radiation, even becomes very rapidly porous, and can erode, if they are exposed to sunlight. Cable conductance is important a bowed cable, with maximum inflection connection. A tide bended cable is not good: on such a point that can damage the cover, and that can cause jamming. When the maximum inflection of coaxcable is not confessed, can be used as a fist rule: no longer inflection than ten times the cable dia meter. The cable must be confirmed firmly to the dish, with Ty-raps or tape. It is important thereby that Ty-raps or tape - which of two are also used - Uv-protection is that they do defend themself in the long run. Ty-raps and cable clamps cannot sit too tightly. If the cable ' is locked up ' too tight, jamming can appear, as a result of which the reception of the indicators becomes worse or even entirely is omitted.



Connectors
By using f connectors on the coaxcable, cannot the wires of the outer core get in connection with the core of the cable. That would cause short circuit. The f connector must the correct half-measure has for the cable, and on the cable to be generally screwed. Please note: no wires connecting the core, concerning impedance loss.

Durable-driven
The cause of no less than ninety per cent of the repairing to satellite reception systems is: Moist in the cable, in the f connector or in the LNB. Reducing penetrating water is therefore task number one for the fitter who complaints prevented. Corrosion of the core will result in jammings in the flow supplies of the LNB. Molar for this reason Coaxcable with a galvanic corrosion treatment, for example nickel. Water in the cable can disturb the indicator reception seriously. Especially the connections of the cable with the f connectors are vulnerably and must for this reason are well protected. The fastest and cheapest manners to use the f - connector the LNB durable, are of itself vulcanising tape, if no associated protection tube have been supplied.



This tape works the bests as the role warms and is kept dry in a trousers pocket. A piece loves four centimetres against the connector, whereas the rest concerning the half breadth stretched is kept. Pule this pieceof tape tight and wind it in the same direction with which the f connector have been tightened. Care that is wrapped the complete connection with tape, as from the surface propeller wire on the LNB up to two centimetres below concerning the cable. Thus the protecting tape works best and these long will continue sit. Special plastic lives (to see image), which is filled with a not hardening gel and which for the connector and the cable are clasped, has been also well arranged. These must be introduced, however, according to the regulations of the manufacturer. To occur that rain water runs at the termination point to within, must flat before the cable the wall enters, a lus in the cable are made. The breach in the wall can be stopped with mastiek, so that it is protected still better against inward water.



Cable entrance point
Breaches in the wall must be bored from the inside out to that prevent the rough coat on the inner walls catches too much damaged. By flauntingly down the breaches, extra protection arises against penetrating water.
