Salt air and your satellite gear: preventing corrosion

The single biggest difference between an install that lasts on the False Bay coast and one that fails within a year is how it handles salt air.

Salt accelerates corrosion on every metal contact — LNBs, connectors, brackets and the copper inside cheap cabling. Once corrosion sets in, signal degrades and water finds its way into the joins.

We use quality, UV- and weather-resistant cabling, marine-grade fixings and properly sealed connections. It costs a little more up front and saves you repeat call-outs for years.

Already dealing with corrosion damage? Our DStv signal repairs Fish Hoek team can replace the affected parts, and for a full new setup built to last, contact our Fish Hoek DStv installation specialists.
