Re: [WISPA] Times Microwave EZ connectors

I second this. We have used this for 5+ years now and haven't had a single water issue since we started using it. And it's cheap, and easy to work with in the summer heat and the winter cold.

It will get hard (the glue) and as things move in the wind etc. it'll allow water in. Been there done that. NOTHING works better than self vulcanizing rubber tape. If what you use is easy to get off it's not a good tight seal. sigh It sure can't be that hard to build a connector that seals without the tape! sigh marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "RickG" <rgunder...@gmail.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 6:15 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Times Microwave EZ connectors Yes - hate the mess but seals the best!

Anyone out west have these? Yeah, I know, it costs more to buy two of these than a whole pre-built 10 foot cable, but every danged pre-built I buy has water issues. We have never had to seal any of the cables we built ourselves, and none of them have ever leaked (except when someone who'll forever remain nameless forgot to tighten the cable...), but I have no luck at all with the pre-made I've bought from multiple places. Our temporary site needed to go up in a real hurry, so I bought a whole pile of parts and cables, and most of them have had issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
