Hello Towertalkians. This forum provides a wealth of knowledge!
I have a question about how to handle the coaxes and control wire that come off
my 50' Aluma tower crank up tower. I ran these, 2 coaxes and rotor control
cable, as a bundle using nylon zip ties to secure the bundle to the inside of
the tower section that goes up and down every 4 to 5 feet. This bundle exits
at the bottom of the tower and is similarly bundled with nylon zips every few
feet and it is snaked to and fro across some decorative rock between the tower
base and the deck. When I raise or lower the tower, I have to handle the
bundle to make sure it is not catching or kinking up. Has anyone come up with
a more satisfactory splay for these wires? Or a way to keep the excess neat
when the tower is lowered, which is most of the time here. I am considering
placing some connectors in the lines that match the lowered length needed, and
then have the excess made into a bundled jumper handy for connecting in when I
want to raise the tower. Any better ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
