Re: [smartBridges] We've just about had it

That is correct they do use an RJ-11 in Telco Demarc boxes outdoors, but 
bear in mind the Telco installers are never expected to crimp the plug 
on. It is factory installed and sealed where the wire meets the 
connector and only the pins are exposed to the humidity. When one of 
these things is suspected of being bad they toss it and a new Demarc box 
is installed. Expensive but idiot proof.

I don't think I would discount the CAT5 ethernet connector too quickly.
Keep in mind that design of the connector is NOT new and properly crimped
with good cable the connection is very reliable.  The RJ connectors are used
very extensivly outdoors - check any telco DMARC installed outside in the
last 20 years.
