The material in the Suttle "Corro-Shield" jacks is definitely NOT the same as Silicone sealant or the goo inside UY connectors! It is a special formulation that moves out of the way when a plug is inserted, and moves back to cover the jack wires when the plug is removed. They are highly recommended for outdoor and damp locations, especially since ring voltage in a Panasonic system will often cause a damp or corroded jack to "answer" a ringing line! As far as I know, the jacks are not actually water-tight, so you should use a sealed or wet-use cover to keep water out of the wall behind the jack . . . and use the "other" goo's as needed to make the whole installation waterproof. Suttle made a lot of the Corro-Shield jacks in traditional telephone varieties, so I'm not surprised that they're discontinuing some of the products. They also make a Category 5 data version, and an RJ-25 that fits in some "keystone" modular wallplates (but not all of them).
