Mast Cap with Cable Feed-Through for Ø 42–50 mm Antenna Masts – Up to 18 Coaxial Cables
The AS48010 is a black mast cap with integrated cable routing for antenna mast tubes with outside diameters from Ø 42 to 50 mm.
It allows coaxial cables to be routed over the top of the mast and down through the inside of the tube while also covering the open mast end.
According to the available product data, the cap is manufactured from UV-resistant PE plastic and is suitable for up to 18 coaxial cables with outside diameters of approximately 4 to 8 mm.
For mast tubes Ø 42–50 mm
Suitable mast outside diameter:
Ø 42 mm
to Ø 50 mm
The mast wall thickness and internal diameter should also be considered when routing a large number of cables.
Up to 18 coaxial cables
The product data specifies capacity for:
up to 18 coaxial cables
with cable outside diameters of:
approx. Ø 4–8 mm
The actual number that can be installed simultaneously depends on cable diameter, stiffness and the available internal space inside the mast.
Cable routing through the mast
The AS48010 enables cables to enter the mast at the top and continue down through the inside of the tube.
This can provide a cleaner cable route compared with running multiple lines externally along the mast.
Suitable for multi-cable satellite systems
Typical applications include:
Quattro LNB installations
multiswitch systems
multi-feed satellite systems
installations with multiple LNBs
combined satellite and terrestrial antenna systems
Cable bend radius must be observed
Legacy product information states that the design allows suitable cable bending.
However, the permitted minimum bend radius depends on the specific coaxial cable.
The cable manufacturer’s specifications should therefore be observed.
Coaxial cables should not be sharply kinked, crushed or pulled under excessive tension.
UV-resistant PE plastic
Material:
PE plastic
UV-resistant version according to product data
colour: black
Covers the open mast end
The mast cap helps reduce direct entry of:
rain
dirt
leaves
small foreign objects
into the open top of the mast.
No confirmed waterproof rating
Legacy product information describes the cap as providing a waterproof closure.
No confirmed ingress-protection or waterproof rating is available, so the AS48010 should instead be regarded as a weather-protective mast cover with cable routing.
Cable openings remain part of the design
Because several cables pass through the cap, the product is not equivalent to a completely closed, pressure-tight tube plug.
Condensation may still occur
The mast cap does not prevent condensation from forming inside the mast tube.
Other antenna applications
In addition to satellite systems, suitable coaxial cables may be routed from:
DVB-T/T2 antennas
DAB/DAB+ antennas
FM antennas
suitable radio antennas
Connector dimensions should be considered
The specified Ø 4–8 mm range refers to the cable diameter.
Pre-installed F connectors are larger and may affect routing through the mast.
