[WISPA] outside connection
Hi, We sometimes have to move people's radios because of tree growth, changing towers, etc. The biggest pain is having to re-run the CAT5 cable because it won't reach. Has anyone ever seen some type of outdoor coupler or even something you could put around a normal coupler and just extend the cable without re-running the whole thing?

RE: [WISPA] outside connection
In the event we need to extend a CAT5 cable we use the 3M UY connectors. Keep the twist of each wire as close as possible and then tape, Coax-Seal and more tape. We've never had a problem with this method...knock on wood.

I have used these with some success. http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/ProductDetail.asp?SKU=565-0107R=565%2D0107sid=45F9DE0075EFE17F John Travis Johnson wrote: Hi, We sometimes have to move people's radios because of tree growth, changing towers, etc. The biggest pain is having to re-run the CAT5 cable because it won't reach.

Re: [WISPA] outside connection
*grin* The some success part was because they could yet fail, and I haven't used a lot of them. maybe 5 or 6. I have some out for a couple of years now, and have yet to have one fail, but I sure wouldn't want to bet my entire business case on them, or any other splice method either. :) John Brian Rohrbacher wrote: some success :) They have leaked for me. If I have to splice I try to do it inside at point of entry with a coupler or keystone jack. If it has to be done outside I use these.. http://www.shop.com/op/~PETRA_300_071_UY_Gel_Splice_Connector_2_Port-prod-30304739-39574282?sourceid=3 and mastic and super 33+. Brian J.
