Might be better to squirt the RJ45 full of DC4?

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.
