I highly doubt a 802.11 transmitter would be hurt.

Am I right then to assume that increasing the length of the cable will also
help reduce that risk? 

At the moment 20' only gives me a very limited choice of location for the
antenna, and I am beginning to suspect that at 50' I will loose more to
line-loss than I would gain from a more advantageous location.

What problems might I encounter if I artfully bared and clamped the cable
in place, eliminating the need for a connector at the antenna completely?



... It could be worse ...
