That’s why we use drip loops as well.

I can't believe no one has brought up these 2:


1. I've done the first wrap with scotch 33/88 BUT with sticky side out and over lapped. It's a little tricky but can be done. Then over wrap with 33/88, overlapping down the coax on each end. If you're picky, do another wrap over.


2. IF the connector is on a vertical run the final wrapping should be done going in an upward direction. That way there is no ridge to catch rain and allow it to seep in.


Just my $.02.
