Shown below is a short pigtail of
RG-59U coax cable terminated in
a Snap and Seal "F" connector which is then joined to a
female-female adapter or barrel connector. The antenna shown is
an Active Marine TV Antenna as used by the US Navy
The next few photos will show how this barrel connector is used in a splice and how it is waterproofed for marine use.
Above: The second cable with
connector is attached to the barrel
adapter and wrench torqued.
The connector on the right has an O ring in
it's mouth and it is sealed to the coax internally with silicone grease.
Above: A small roll of Coax-Seal. It is a putty like material in tape form. The white waxed paper keeps it from sticking to its self.
Above: Note that the first wrap comes
back on itself exactly and
the second trun starts the diagonal wrap.
Wrap
from the coax cover toward the fitting with one half overlap with each
winding.
Above: The last wrap again comes
straight back over the previous
wrap without a diagonal.
The seal is slightly sticky and should be
molded
now by hand to remove any gaps and to ensure that all the wraps are
blending
together.
At somepoint the wraps will almost fuse together and the
material
may have to be cut away from the cable.
