[TowerTalk] Split Loom-Why I use it and what for

[WK1W-Ivan Shapiro]

I use it with my UST HDX589. Multiple runs of coax, my rotor cable and
camera cables (ethernet and analog) are encased in a large diameter split
loom. Not only does it protect my LMR400 from UV (next run will be buryflex)
but protects from snagging on the standoffs.

When I cranked the tower up, 1st time after camera cables installed, the
ethernet cable got caught on a standoff. Cable got divided and camera didn't
work. I discovered the cause. My solution was split loom. Cheap. Easy. No
snags. Bought from auto parts store. Since then I bought another set of
standoffs from KF7P. These were larger, Happily there is now more room for
cables. I plan to put 2m yagi atop the mast. And now because my initial
split loom is full, I can even add another because the standoffs from KF7P
have quite a large area.
