We bought a few reels of Primus double-jacketed shielded cat5e to
replace some old unshielded crap on a couple towers. It all started
leaking within a year. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Maybe they fixed it. I
don't know. But never again. We do only Shireen DC-1042 on towers now.

What's wrong with their cable? What do you use?

The wire channels are larger than the UBNT plugs. Plus the pins
don't fall out or slant when crimped.
I hate Primus cable, but their RJ45s are pretty good. Wouldn't
surprise me if they don't even make them.

RF Armor preferred. Ubnt is OK. ARC is good, too.
Never seen this myself but maybe it's the salt?

I'd blame the connector.
As far as I can tell the UBNT, RF Armor and Arc connectors
are all pretty much exactly the same - we've been using RF
Armor, for no particular reason other than that they're the
cheapest of the three.

What is everyone's preferences for shielded connectors at
the moment? We discovered at least one corroded/rusted
connector last week at a site which had taken a direct or
nearly direct lightning strike which melted pig tails as
well as destroyed an omni among other things. It was a
site we bought so we don't know the manufacturer of the
connector or if it's something we installed and it's the
first one I've seen on our network. Has anyone else seen
this happen? Lately we've been using RF Armor have used
Ubiquiti shielded connectors in the past.
