Questions & Answers

On my roof, I'm going to put up an over-the-air antenna. Is this meant to be mounted on the antenna mast, and what gauge grounding wire should be used?

I attached a ground clamp to the antenna mast and ran a 10 AWG wire to a ground block near grade level, then another 10 AWG wire from the ground block to the electrical service's existing ground rod. The 10 AWG ground wire was the smallest size recommended by an antenna manufacturer I found online. line, but I believe that a 6 AWG ground wire would have been a safer and less expensive alternative. This is most likely going to be a change I make to my setup.

I'm thinking about mounting this item on a wooden surface; will it still be grounded?

It can be installed on a wooden floor. This is why two wood screws are included. The green screw is used to thread a 6 gauge copper grounding wire through the hole. Following that, the grounding wire must be properly grounded according to NEC code.

What material(s) is/are being used to construct this grounding block?

We use a high-quality alloy body with a brass and gold center conductor, UV-resistant Rubber Grommets, and a high-grade brass and gold center conductor - All of them were created with high frequencies (3GHz) and low loss in mind. SCTE Outdoor certification is given to the entire block.

Will a solid cooper ground wire with a diameter of 10 ga fit in the ground hole?

8 gauge is also suitable.

It works with a coax power supply

5/5

I can't comment on its grounding abilities because they're difficult to test, but one important feature I can confirm is that it allows power to pass through. I have a preamp (a Winegard 200) connected to the antenna, with a USB power supply inside, and this grounding block in the middle. The amp is powered by the power supplied by the coax cable and this grounding block.

Received a block that does not match the image on the listing

4/5

The coax ground block I received is not the same as the one shown in the listing. The one I got has only one grounding screw (in silver) and a blue connection center. Two green grounding screws and a yellow center are depicted in the listing. br>br>For a visual representation, see the attached image. br>br>NEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - After I contacted CIMPLE CO, they fixed the problem. The second block appears to be identical to the listing image. It's of higher quality than the one that was initially sent. The installation will take place this weekend.

Excellent grounding block that is simple to install using the included hardware

5/5

It's made of solid metal and feels good in the hand. br>* Includes mounting screwsbr>* Gaskets are large enough to cover cables when tightened and insertedbr>* Includes two grounding posts that can handle up to 10g wire.

Grounding Block with a lot of power

5/5

Grounding block of the highest quality. Grounding block and screws are heavily plated, and the grounding screws and block are heavy duty. The weather boots on the connections are easily and non-slip, so this should last for a long time. Easily destructible by simply rotating them away from the female F- connective tissue They were unnecessary because the male ends of my coax were already equipped with weather boots.

It's a great ground block that does the job

5/5

I needed a ground block for my OTA antenna and looked in Lowe's and Home Depot but couldn't find one. They had ground-attached splitters, but no ground blocks. This accomplishes its goal and appears to be well-made. If you're installing an outdoor antenna, this is a must-have.

What's the best way to get this up and running? What good is a product if it doesn't come with instructions on how to put it together? This should be written loudly and clearly somewhere, and it should either come with the product or be prominently displayed in the product details! It's a huge pain

3/5

Because I'm not an electrician, you should include a sister product that contains all of the necessary components to complete the installation- - Use proper grounding wire and so on. and not even 50 feet away from it. It'll suffice to get this up and running.

This grounded coax connector, which is mounted on the outside of the house near the grounding rod, is simple and effective

5/5

The coax cable from the roof-mounted television antenna is attached to one side, while the coax cable from the television to the inside is attached to the other. A grounding wire is attached to it and leads to a grounding rod driven into the ground just below it. The weatherproof rubber protectors are attractive and comfortable to wear.

This item appears to be of high quality and should last a long time

5/5

Because of the rubber insulators built into the block, it is far superior to my old grounding block, which had corrosion build up over time due to exposure to the elements. I believe I could have just attached it to the side of the house and been fine, but I decided to put it in a sealed plastic box for added security. This is going to be a long-term project for me.
