Installing a fitting end of a coaxial cable
is not too difficult. It may take a little practice but this is a simple
process after you master it. Installing a coax cable can seem like a simple
cabling task, but some precautions, instructions, and tips that are applied to
the installation can make a big difference after a few months.
While coaxial cables can work very well
when first installed, factors such as the entry of moisture can cause
performance to decline steadily over time. Because of the reduction in performance
often occurs slowly, it may go unnoticed until it has been reduced to the point
where it may not be usable.
By adopting several simple precautions, the
performance of installing RF coaxial cables can be maintained and the rate of
degradation is much slower. In this way, investment in the coaxial cable can be
expanded as much as possible.
In most cases, the coaxial cable will be
physically terminated using an RF connector, electrical termination either on
the antenna or at the receiver. Thus the connection to the connector must be
made correctly and the correct quality of the RF connector must be used. There
are many types of coaxial cables that can be purchased. Different types clearly
have different performance
