For the best connection, note the following suggestions:
Try to place the connection between cables inside a building, underneath an eave,
✦
or in another location similarly shielded from rain.
✦
When securing cables, place a cable clip or tie on each side of the connection
point 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.
