We used grease filled splice cases for direct buried telco cables years ago. Never had one fail.

Second best is glue filled heat shrink splice connectors. Marine grade ones work well.

Like a few 16 gauge wires for a sensor. I remember seeing a plastic tray type thing that after joining the wires with whatever means you placed it in the tray, filled the tray with silicone RTV then snapped it shut. It looked something like an outdoor outlet cover like this but obviously much smaller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XQFR68N/ Anyone know what these were or where to get them? Maybe it was back in T1 days when they spliced underground? -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
