Frequently Asked Questions
Commonly called a saddle and clamp connection.
1) Remove the black plastic cap from the dipole and push the cable through the cable guide in the lid (ensure you push it through the right way - the bare end of the cable should be on the inside of the lid).
2) Prepare the cable as follows (Saddle and clamp connection):
- Remove approx 12mm of the black outer sheath to expose the braid (and foil if double screened)
- Expose approx 8mm of the central copper core of the cable by cutting back the braid and plastic inner
- Loosen the the braid clamp on the dipole and the crew on top of the centre terminal.
- Pass the cable under the braid clamp so the central core is inside the hole in the centre terminal and the braid clamp is on the braid and foil (if double screened)
- Tighten the central post screw to hold the core in place and tighten the braid clamp to hold the cable securely. Ensure the braid is not in contact with the central core
- Feed the cap over the cable and fasten on the the base. Ensure good even fit.
