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.

Heat shrink doesn't work in the 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!

You need to weatherproof all of your connections. If they are not

I've run out of these, and none of the vendors I use commonly carry

them.

Anyone out west have these?

Yeah, I know, it costs more to buy two of these than a whole

pre-built

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.
