So we had to climb one of our towers today to deal with a sudden
intermittent ethernet issues with a Medusa that's less than a year old.
We did just have a pretty good storm and were fearing the worst.. When
the weather coupling on the cable got removed, a bit of water poured
out, and the connector had obvious corrosion marks.
A bit of cleanup and a new RJ45 later, the radio is kicking again... But
it seems a bit weird that a $6000+ radio can't hold back a bit of rain.
Last time we've seen this problem was with some older PTP600 and PTP400
radios, after the o-ring seal failed.. Some were full of oxidation and
water damage. I hope it's just an isolated incident....
The climber added a bead of silicone around the perimeter of the radio
to antenna seal it for now, but I wonder if it's worth opening a ticket
with Cambium.. Not a happy camper right meow.
cheers
Vlad
