I just noticed you mentioned this problem only affects the 2' antennas, but we have seen the same trouble with 3' antennas as well.
Again, we don't use the light duty Home Depot type outdoor CAT5, but a much higher quality armor jacketed CAT5. It is not uncommon for us to find a competitor's light duty outdoor CAT5 split open or damaged after a period of time on a commercial roof. Those HVAC and roofing guys can be brutal to cables. It isn't worth it to us to skimp on the cable.

If you are looking at the mount from behind the antenna, mounting the antenna on the right with a 2ft antenna will cause you to have to bend the cable at 90 degrees right up against the mounting plate. Trango's solution for this is to rotate the antenna to the other side of the mast. My default it mounts on the right side, but you can switch it to the left. Larger or smaller antennas are unaffected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
