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.

First class website and easy to navigate when buying items from Blake UK. Was emailed every step for reassurance regarding my on-line order for a stress free purchase. Will definitely be doing another on-line order from Blake UK regarding a TV ariel along with a loft bracket as I will be buying a loft Ariel in a few months time for my home. 💯% satisfied with my order 👍

I’m pleased with the ærial overall. I did have to fix two separate issues though… 1. Many of the elements were bent, some quite badly. Happily they all bent straight again without any fatigue fracture. 2. Many of the elements were not seated properly in the booms. In one case, a vertical element was touching one on the other boom. I was able to pull the unseated ones out to seat better but I’m not sure how long they’ll stay like this.

This is my second review for this same product. I bought a Twin Coax Surface Mount Switch Outlet Box, but could only get it to work if I physically held the aerial in place, so left a one star review. I quickly received an email from Chloe offering a couple of solutions to the problem, so I decided on a new switch with a soldered coax cable, which I'm pleased to say works perfectly. After receiving such a friendly and efficient service I have definitely changed my mind about Blake-uk.com and would not hesitate to recommend them.
I was looking for some roof hardware and found what I needed at Blake at a competitive price. I'm glad I bought through them because the transaction was simple and the delivery lightning fast. Received what I ordered on time and happy with the quality. So definitely will use them again.
