During
this step of the installation, route the LNB cable from
the ground block to the DirecPC adapter. In most
installations, there is more than one way to get the LNB
cable to the adapter from the grounding block. If the
adapter is located near an inside wall, use the crawl,
basement, or attic spaces. When routing the LNB cable to
the adapter, take the shortest possible path and always
protect it from physical damage.
WARNING
To
avoid injury, verify that there are no electrical wires or
pipes in the area of the hole where you plan to drill to
enter the building.
1.
After verifying that there are no wires or pipes blocking
the location where you want to feed the coaxial cable into
the building, drill a 1 /2 -inch hole.
2.
Connect one end of the cable to the ground block (see
diagram at right).
3.
Form a 3-inch to 5-inch drip loop in the cable before
inserting it in the access hole.
4.
Secure the drip loop and cable to the wall with cable
clips.

5.
Inside the building, route the cable to the computer.
Depending on the installation site, this could be through
a floor or wall, directly to the rear of the computer. If
the cable goes straight through a wall, you can use a wall
plate at the access point.
6.
Install the cable onto the adapter cable connector.
7.
Seal the access point into the building with silicone
sealant.
