coax cable routing

Post by 6468 »

Good morning to all! Need advise routing a coax cable, I'm running up the forward side of the pilot door post (channel where the wires for the nav & ldg lt are run) then to the back of the plane. When I get to the top; is it better move to the outside of the post then back in thru the gap above the angle brace (to avoid interference with the future headliner install) or swing around to the inside (under the front carry thru & tight against the door post). How are your wires routed? want to avoid problems with the headliner but not sure how tight it pulls up to the carry thru. Thanks

Hi,

All my wires headed to the back of the plane go under the seats and pop out at the battery. Can you go that way instead of up and over?

Not what you're asking but might be helpful.

Not the answer to your question, but, whatever you do, the minimum bend radius for coaxial cables is 6 times the outer diameter...
