Amen. I run the nf bulkhaed, and it goes right into the enclosure. I
can change out bad piggies or go from u.fl to mmcx or add a filter or
whatever I want. No weather proofing needed. I like it a lot. Brian Marlon K. Schafer wrote: I've moved to larger enclosures with good, stainless steel bulkhead connectors and n-m piggys. Hopefully, from now on I can just change the electronics and not have to even touch the coax.marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "RickG" <rgunder...@gmail.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 10:57 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Best Practice: Sealing Coax Connectors WAS:HyperlinkCoax JumpersI use two layers of tape with the coaxseal in between. This protects the connectors and allows clean removal of the coaxseal. In addition, the tape seems to hold up better to the weather than the coaxseal. To be honest, I'd rather get rid of weather proofing altogether and just POE everywhere. Unfortunately, I have found any good sector antennas with radios build in. Then again, it is lame to replace an antenna due to a bad radio. The Ubiquiti Bullets have potential for this use but I suspect you still need to weather proof the connector. Also, whiel they have a lot of capabilities, I havent found a way to shape individual users bandwidth if they are used as an AP. I guess migrate bandwidth shaping to the user side? -RickG On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 1:24 PM, Mark Nash <markl...@uwol.net> wrote:Is the electrical tape just to hold the coax-seal in place?

LOL, I had one tower where the pigeons would peck at the connectors, so I added metal foil tape over the connection. That took care of that! -RickG On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Mark Nash <markl...@uwol.net> wrote:The only thing we use to seal these connectors is fusion tape from GB.Ican get it from the local hardware store. I suspect that this is a problem. How is everyone sealing connectors on towers? This one particular siteisat 3100ft so it gets wind and cold. Snow & ice on it for a few 2-week periods per year. Lots of rain during the winter. It's been the worstforcoax failures.
