Alert Pepwave announces new antenna 7-in-1 - Puma 421

Got my Parsec Husky's yesterday (2). They are a beast, probably close to a foot in diameter and heavy. Hope they work as good as they are huge.

Neal, where did you order from?

When I run the wires I'm likely going to encase them in a sleeve:

I’d suggest not running the sleeves into your roof opening, otherwise you might get a wicking effect that allows moisture to enter and build up over time.

Neal, where did you order from?

MobileMustHave.com - basically I found the part number from the Parsec web site and PDF details based on what I wanted for cellular, wifi, and gps connections and the color, googled it, and that landed me on the web site(s) that offered it.

I use sikaflex 221 to seal the cover plate I use and prevent water from getting in. I'll probably stop the sleeve right there. The sleeve is to prevent the mass of wires from spreading and being unkept on the roof. The other option are adhesive cable tie contraptions like I got with my solar setup.

I had enough additional space in my junction box that I just rolled the excess cable into a tight loop and stuck em in the box. I only have enough cable coming out of the box to reach the antenna in its current location and to drop down to the roof to keep cable entry into the box elevated from the roof surface.

If I ever want to move the antenna, just pull more cable out of the box.
