Notice

The installation, maintenance, or removal of antenna systems requires qualified, experienced personnel. Andrew installation instructions have been written for such personnel. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and condition of equipment.

Andrew disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation practices.
Read Instructions
Thoroughly Before Assembly
1. Prepare Cable. Straighten the end of the cable for at least 10 inches (254 mm) and saw off a short section so that the cable end is square. Remove the jacket to the dimension shown, using a straight-edged piece of heavy paper wrapped around the cable to guide the cutting knife. Clean the outer conductor with solvent.

Carefully saw through the outer conductor and foam to the dimension shown. Make the cut shallow enough to avoid damaging the inner conductor. Then unscrew the piece of cut conductor from the foam and trim off the foam with a sharp knife. Use a file to remove copper burrs and a wire brush to remove copper particles from the foam.

Taper the end of the inner conductor with a file for easier insertion into the inner connector during final assembly.

Slide the shrink tube provided and the clamping nut onto the cable and position them a few inches from the cable end.
