That's not a barrel connector it is a PolyPhaser surge surpressor. I've never had an issue with water getting in a connector in 4 years of sealing this way. We must have pretty mild weather or something. I do try to get the tape all the way up to the antenna though but sometimes its tight and the roll of tape won't make it but it turns out alright every time.

I did notice a couple things that we have seen in our environment that may or may not be an issue. The first is the weatherproof on the LMR jumper cables. We have found that we have to seal all the way up against the plastic case on the antenna, otherwise water will eventually penetrate into the seal. The other thing is using an RJ45 barrel connector inside your outdoor box. We've had many of them fail after a year or two (in our environment, it's probably due to the large temperature swings in summer vs. winter. We see -30F in the winter and up to 105F in the summer). Just some thoughts... take it for what it's worth... ;) Travis Microserv Kurt Fankhauser wrote: > Hey guys I just got some pictures uploaded of one of my AP sites if you want > to check it out.
