If the connection between the cables will be located outside, we recommend that
you use the splice connectors rather than the coupler.
With the splice connectors, there is less chance of the cables separating
and also less chance of water reaching the connection. Use the cable coupler only if the connection is located inside, protected from the effects of
weather and other stresses.
Try to place the connection between cables inside a building, underneath an eave,
✦
or in another location similarly shielded from rain.
✦
The protective shell must be well secured to avoid wind buffeting.
Use hose clamps for poles or conduit clamps for surface mount.
When securing cables, place a cable clip or tie on each side of the protective shell
✦
so the movement of the cables does not cause the connection to pull apart.

It is a good practice to leave an extra length of cable near the connection point in
case future adjustments or repairs are necessary.

Do not strip away any of the colored shielding on the individual wires.
Repeat this procedure for the end of each cable you are connecting.
