It's absolutely helpful.
We put it both inside the RJ45 before inserting the wire and on the jack
before inserting the connector. It avoids a whole host of Ethernet
issues with minor corrosion on the connectors. Keep in mind we are
using these in environments where humidity and temperature vary widely.
The connectors are going to move a tiny bit just from the thermal stress.
As far as 'something failed and needs to be replaced' - that's true
enough I suppose, but when a jacket on a outdoor cable rubs through the
outer jacket and gets a little water in it I'm a lot happier if that
water doesn't end up squirting out inside my CTM/CMM or destroying both
the connector and the jack on a expensive piece of network gear.

I don't see why anyone would do this, if water gets into your RJ45,

Anyone doing this? Pros, cons?
