Re HOW2R1; I'm probably doing something wrong, but the ethernet cable will not through one part of the weatherproof gasket. Please advise. Thanks

What you do is put the plastic screw on the wire first then put the split rubber gasket on. Then plug the Ethernet in then screw the plastic from there. The tighter you screw it on, the more weather proof it will be.

It is recommended that you use shielded all-weather ethernet cable for applications such as this.

Well, i actually use some other Ethernet cable I had in the house, that is quite shorter, so I don't have I use the cable the floor board brought, which is super long, thatni use in the studio or giging, most likely your cable is defective. Try a different one

That was not my case, I think it was just the cable and I used my original housing. Good luck.

that depends on the wiring. if your wiring is done very clean and sealed up right.. i.e shrink tubing or electrical tape and you use male and female connectors, you should have no problems. I've wired mine to the specification i just mentioned and have ran them in downpours, hurricane-like, sideways rain, snow, sleet, everything. never had a problem. also the positioning of the relay is essential. that you would want to look for a spot, preferably under the hood that's away from the elements. but as for the horns, I've ran them in the weather like I've said behind the grill and also ran them without my bumper on at all. being constantly exposed and absolutely no issues. that depends on the wiring. if your wiring is done very clean and sealed up right.. i.e shrink tubing or electrical tape and you use male and female connectors, you should have no problems.

I am laying this cable today outdoors, however, i have it protected by conduit. I have been told that it will be OK. Trust this helps

Did you crimp your own cat6 wires? If so that could be your issue...If its a store bought wire try another one. Also make sure you have the injector power adapter plugged into the wall!

To be safe this item is not listed anywhere in the instructions for wet locations. To answer your question, on the site where the cable enters there is a piece of rubber that has a small round hole in the middle to attempt to seal around the cable. This is similar to one you would buy at the depot. It is designed for outdoor use and I use mine to connect to a generator plug on the side of my house that goes to a transfer switch. I built a small housing around it to protect it from rain.

I tucked my cable in the seam between the windshield and the frame of the car. I put a DAB of rubber cement several places along that seam to KEEP it in that seam and it is NOT visible from the outside of my car.

Check the belt first. It might be broken or just dried out and slipping on the pulley. Next, check to make sure your cable is ok. You might need to adjust it to get the belt to engage.

The product is sealed as it is weather resistant. I had no issues with my speakeI would suggest you check the connection

I use some good ol' strong duct tape and go over and over the connection and up and down a bit. Sometimes I'll add some aluminum tape over that. It works just great! (I've had to use the duct tape hoses that have cracked open... and that works fine, too.)

I am using it outdoors. I sealed the connector at the antenna with coax seal and have not had a problem

Kyle, I put in weatherproof cat 5 and shielded RJ45 connectors at each end to help with potential lightning damage. The 5ghz model will probably work through the tree at that distance but if not go with the 2ghz model.

Did you possibly move it to a new location with a router in the path which may block the Ethernet signals? More details of the problem are needed.

I have two of these. All of the connections are sealed with rubber gaskets. Mine have gotten wet and one has been totally submerged when dropped in a water trough. Both of them still function fine. Mine did not come in any sort of packaging, so I don't know what the package says. Just my experience.

although it is super water and oil resistant it is not typically a plug you'd use for "water conditions." To me, it's more about where it plugs in- at those two connection points will water have the opportunity to get between both contacts? If it does then you need to change conditions. its not water tight connectors it is the "covering" they are suggesting that is. So if the car were 10 feet away under a carport and both ends were shielded from direct rain i'd be most likely ok with it- but exposed on both ends- I'd suggest being careful and not using it that way.
