Re: [WISPA] Fixing buried cable
If they leak they were damaged or you didn't tighten them all the way. They have rubber gromits that go around the cables of which have a good quarter inch of thread after finger tightening. The part that conjoins the two has an O ring and more then enough thread to prevent leakage.

Re: [WISPA] Fixing buried cable
They make underground telephone splice blocks that are like a super sized scotch lock plastic case filled with a big blob of white goey snot. The idea is you make your splice however you need to then wad the whole thing in to the blob of snot, snap the cover closed and the gel flows around the splice to weatherproof it for underground use.

Re: [WISPA] Fixing buried cable
If you are running more than 6-7mbits then use some other splice or replace the whole cable. If you are running less than this, then most any splice will work. :) ryan On Dec 8, 2009, at 2:45 PM, "Robert West" wrote: > I think anything you do, as long as the conductors are connected and > protected from the weather will be fine.

Scotch Lock each pair together. Wrap two pairs around the main wire in one direction, and two in the other direction. Cover with a RG-11 coax splice boot. It's filled with non-conductive gel.

Re: [WISPA] Fixing buried cable
Oh sorry I didn't realize the lack of units. They work very well - I ordered several and store them for myself. I have had each and every last tape job I'm aware of go bad. Maybe we're all doing something wrong, I don't know. I've used all kinds of combinations of things including 3M electrical tape, plastic wrap and coax seal. Coax seal seals very well but the wires came loose - I was very unhappy.

Re: [WISPA] Fixing buried cable
I think anything you do, as long as the conductors are connected and protected from the weather will be fine. Just keep as many twists in the wire as you can. I've made some pretty nasty splices in the past and they all worked perfectly. I just have a thing about looking professional and not like duct tape and twine.

Re: [WISPA] Fixing buried cable
Ugly isn't an issue as the cable is so short I want dig up a foot of it, re-splice it and bury the splice.

Re: [WISPA] Fixing buried cable
I've used those 3-m or scotch crimp button connectors before, got a box of them still in the van. It's really ugly though and you have to make sure you keep as many twists in the wire as you can. But then you still have to seal it all and RTV would be my choice. If I had to, and if I had any slack, stick the splice down a short tube of maybe PVC and pump it full of silicone. Still an ugly way to go.

I put a jack at the ground and a plug on the remaining cable and wrapped it up as well as I could, knowing I would be back. Sure enough, today I went back to re-fix it in the sleet. What fun. I think it is better because I used a cat5 splice device and filled it with RTV. Anyone have a way to fix a cable that is underground? I would rather not run a new cable and make her bury another one if there is another way. -- Scott Reed Sr. Systems Engineer GAB Midwest 1-800-363-1544 x4000 Cell: 260-273-7239 WISPA Wants You!
