I used waterproofing mastic and tape on the regular sheilded RJ-45C connector.
Once you waterproof your installs with black mastic & Tape, No water will ever get in. I dont trust those little fitting on APP.... So I remove it. But How about rust,... Are ethernet connection sensible to rust & oxide ???? Im in satellite buisness since last 10 years so my connector use to be coaxials. They are a lot bigger. So rust & cold connection were not an issue.

I did a lot of trouble shooting and found out it was the airBridge Total "waterproof" connector had allowed water in. Maybe I don't know the correct way to install it, I thought I did. But after drying out the connectors, recrimping the end towards the house, it still wouldn't work. I cut off about a foot of the cable going into the house and pulled out some of the individual wires, they were wet inside the jacket. This customer now has gel-filled cable going from the connector to the router ... *and* I used waterproofing mastic and tape on the waterproof connector.
