Is it flexable enough to remove easiely? I want to wrap/seal some outdoor antenna connects and CCTV connections and be able to remove it for repairs.

It will remain flexible but as you apply it, you stretch it and wrap it on itself. It then becomes fused together and unable to unwrap. You simply can cut it off with ease and have no residue. I use this in place of electrical tape on my motorcycle wiring.

This tape is fabulous for all but pressurized connections. As a ham radio operator waterproofing outdoor antenna connections, I would use nothing else but "Coax Seal." It is removable too.

you'd have to cut it. Very flexible but it doesn't really use adhesive to stick rather the elastic porous surface tension that bonds together pretty tightly after a while. I've found it as easy to remove as electrical tape without the messy residue

That is what I mostly use it for and it works great. You will have to split it to remove it however. I like it much better than coax seal but it is probably not capable of water immersion.

Yes. You will need a blade to cut it, though. It won't unwrap because it almost melts into itself, but you can cut it off anything else like shrink wrap.

It can but personally me, I would not do that. It gets sticky after awhile so when you plan on removing it, all the leftover adhesive would be on the wires. Heat sleeve or if you don't mind wasting more of the wrap. Double lay the wrap on adhesive on adhesive, the wrap it so there is not mess and zip tie the ends

I ran into the same problem, and solved it by cutting a piece of 1" PVC , which has a OD of1 1/4 , and slipping it over the Antenna mounting stub. It wasn't a tight fit, but a couple of wraps of electrical tape made it snug up pretty well. I did the same thing on the outside of the PVC until the fit into the mounting arm was snug. It worked well, and hasn't had any problems, even after some realy fierce storms.Do yourself a favor and pre-assemble the antenna onto the arm before getting on the ladder. I did it the hard way, at the top of the ladder. Found out that only one u-clamp could be used, instead of two.

Cable is quite durable when flexed (though I've only had it a few weeks). The netting surrounding the cable provides better insulation and helps reduce wear, so I guess it'll depend on how bent you need the cable to be for your application.

I doubt that it is flexible enough for what you want to do. It has a spiral wire molded into its fairly thick sidewall.

Sorry....I didn't see the Flex part. I would say no, this clip wouldn't work because that bottom piece would get in the way of the switch. Unless you never changed the switch, or took the transponder out each time you needed to switch it.

I have used Flex seal (seen of TV product) and it works well BUT I would not move it around AFTER you apply it as it could reopen but it is still holding on mine going on 6 months now. Just learned not to move it once the FLEX SEAL was applied. :)

It's basially just fancy double-sided tape, so I don't see why not. It may leave a residue on the wires if you remove it, though. Not sure.

No - the terminals are firmly built in, and the weatherproofing pretty much prevents their removal. If you could get them out, it'd be very unlikely that the replacement wires/terminals would end up with a weatherproof enclosure when you were done.

It's not a bad idea to remove it to be on the safe side although I've left it on before without any problems. The two questions that I would ask are 1) is it a touchless car wash and 2) how well does the antenna "stick" to your roof. Touchless car wash should be fine although even a scrubber wash might be okay too, dependent upon how close/tight the scrubber works on the roof. The roof of a truck for example sits higher than a car so it might be more likely for the scrubber to remove the antenna. On my sedan I had no problem. As far as "stickiness", when I affix my antenna to the roof it makes a "ka-thunk" sound so I know it's really sticking down hard. If it's not sticking down hard for you then you might want to remove it for car washes.

Yes it is very easy to remove, I was concerned myself but setup was really easy..Worth the money for sure....I hope this was helpful...

Not with the one I got. I leave antennas off most of the time to not worry with it. Just saw a friends trike and he has very bendable antenna and it would be less trouble. Cover works great.

It would be stretched out and getting it off with that much adhesive would be next to impossible. My opinion after installing it, not fact.

Yes, it comes off very easily. I stuck a reflective sticker on the black end-cap. If you wanted to run wire through you could; but if you tilt the arm you'd want to be careful not to pinch the wire

i wouldn't advise it as it is VERY tough to terminate , my suggestion however is when you use an underground cable you need to account for 20% extra cable too , because its not so bendable

To remove the antenna is necessary to disarm and is extremely easy anyway for my use was not necessary, even if you want there are faradaith cases you can use.

You would have to cut the cable out. There are no covers of any sort that you could remove.
