It was installed correctly so who knows how the water got in. The unit was fried pretty good. It rained for a couple days straight here. Opened up the "waterproof" connector and steaming water poured out. The unit was still getting power from POE. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Hartley Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 9:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Cat5 for outdoor installs A few days ago, I had one of my most important customers go completely off the air. I did a lot of trouble shooting and found out it was the airBridge Total "waterproof" connector had allowed water in. Maybe I don't know the correct way to install it, I thought I did. But after drying out the connectors, recrimping the end towards the house, it still wouldn't work. I cut off about a foot of the cable going into the house and pulled out some of the individual wires, they were wet inside the jacket. This customer now has gel-filled cable going from the connector to the router ... *and* I used waterproofing mastic and tape on the waterproof connector.
