Step 2Antenna Side
At the other end in my data closet, I basically repeated the process.
1) Putting a rj45 connector on one end of my cable (using the same wiring order as the connector at the tuner end)
2) then I measured to see how much extra wire is needed to get the antenna dipole up and way from the wiring hub. ***
3) then I added another 50cm of wire
4) then I stripped a full 50cm of jacket off.
5) then stretched approximately 49cm of the Blue/Green pair along one half of a 100+cm dowel , and then stretched the other 49 cms of orange/brown pair along the other half. Then i firmly taped them to the dowel to ensure they don't sag (apparently keeping both legs the same length is essential).
*** in case you dont know better - DONT attach your antenna to your router/hub - you want only dead wire - no network traffic anywhere near your antenna.
