Hi Clay, Thanks for the explanation... So based on this, the grease would only be needed / functional at the 'down side' of the cable run, on the radio side it is all behind the cover.
------------------------ I am still having a hard time, visualizing the physical aspect of this... let's say the cable jacket has a defect, and water is seeping into it... the water will end up in the connector, before the grease and still short out the cable ------------------------ Drip loops are supposed to protect you on the downward side from such cable shorting.... I can see the use / benefit of the grease in near salt water or marine applications, but am having a hard time physically imagining how in a normal WISP deployment it is actually creating some sort of protection.
