I'm not sure how long it lasts. I know that in the heat of summer, a lot would leak out, but I think there was still some residual there to provide protection. I know that if I had to open something up in the winter (when 95% of our rain happens), I would always squirt some in. Newer devices with better weather protection have always faired better.

Bill, without DC4, how long does it take before you see effects on devices in the worst areas? How much difference if the devices are IP6x rated (e.g. PTP6x0) or not (e.g. Canopy SMs)?
Being in those salt-infused zones sounds annoying... but then in Manitoba it'll be down to -40 at points this winter, and this year due to COVID I can't leave the house to go to other indoor locations for fun, so the sun belt recently sounds realllly nice. sigh.

--Being in a coastal zone, we often get salt-infused rain/air during storms. Anything metal will be affected. DC4 is a good choice, and is practically mandatory on any of our installations that are within 2 or 3 miles from the shore. There other choices that are a little bit more viscous.

Never, haven't seen a reason to do so - but areas of high salt / humidity may be different, is Florida one of those?

Seems like we stopped a looong time ago I found out in our tech meeting this AM LOL
Do you guys use dielectric on outdoor ethernet… Occasionally, Always, Never ?
If so, what brand do you use?
Thanks!
