Hi The fancy F connectors are indeed waterproof if:
1) You have the right cable 2) The cable and connector match up 3) The tool and the connector match up The auction sites are a great place to get samples of connectors and tools that apparently work with no known cable … If you are not careful about the trim on the dielectric / positioning , they can have issues above 1 or 2 GHz. Even a lot of care they don't really do the job above 5 GHz. Exactly where they drop out depends (of course) on your return loss expectations.
