Use a plastic tape to secure the cable to the mast at about
3 foot intervals.
•
Use coaxial nail clips every few feet to secure the cable to
walls.
•
Use a 75-ohm grounding block where the cable enters the
house. Read the Consumer Product Safety Commission in-

•
Use a wall-through tube to neatly route the cable through
walls.
