On my HDX-5106, I use a length of 2 inch SCH 80 PVC pipe clamped to the top of the tower. The RG-216, rotor cable, and MonstIR cable hang on this pipe using Kellems grips. The top of the coax has a 90 degree type-N to avoid any bends in the nearly 1 inch diameter coax. I am very happy with this arrangement. The "snake" coils up on the ground in about a 10 foot circle. I do need to be there to manage the coax when lowering the tower.
