Totally typical when your POP is at the top of a hill. Wind and rain do not fall "down". So anything with a weep hole on the bottom becomes a problem.

After replacing equipment and cables that got damaged a few times, we started filling the RJ45s with DC4. It's been working well for several years now.

Also not a bad idea to refresh the "fill" so to speak just before the beginning of the rainy season.

We do it on remote POPs because the wind and rain goes in weird directions
out by the coast.
