Installation Recommendations
Minimum bend radius: 3in for RG-59 coax.
Tighter bends will cause shorts and change imped­ance.
Pulling Tension: 75lbs maximum. Leave no tension on cable after it is installed.
Staples or clamps: The use of flat staples with
coax cable is damaging to the cable. Only round
headed staples should be used. Any clamps or securing devices used with coax should grip the cable evenly around the circumference without crushing the cable.
Exposure to high heat: Maximum temperature
limit is 80°C (176°F). Keep cable away from heating
vents, engine compartments and engine exhaust pipes.
Crushing: Coax should not be installed in a
manner that would allow it to be crushed. It should not be “stuffed” or wedged into areas where the cable could be pinched by the flexing of the boat hull or cabin.
