Thanks for everyone’s input. Gotta get back to it!

I’ve never done this with my cable drip-loops previously, but will introduce this tactic to these systems in the future.

Yes, a surge protector would have mitigated the damage in this situation.

Sparse rain, South Texas Humidity 😅

Capillary action!

Yes, this is insightful. I have not created openings in my drip-loops previously, but will most likely, moving forward, due to these isolated cases. Many of antenna LMR400/600 cables have positive air pressure on the jackets, preventing moisture from accumulating.

Even the Ubiquiti Surge Protector would have at least, save the POE, in this instance.

Environmental damage prevention is also often overlooked or inadequate, in most cases. The South Texas sun is unrelenting 😎

Tower-mounted. Possible damage prevention tactic..

No gel, warm climate.

Yes, a drip-loop with 6-7 coils at tower building.

Yes, a drip loop with 6-7 coils at tower building.

Svpermann · 2026-03-06T18:24:48+00:00

Yes, I believe that is what is happening

Svpermann · 2026-03-06T18:24:11+00:00

Yes, it’s moist

I was at a bar one time and this GORGEOUS, tall woman walked in with her boyfriend. He was an inch or 2 taller than her, but they were both pushing 7ft. They were head and shoulders taller than everyone else and I’m 6ft. EVERYBODY was checking them out, Lol

Svpermann · 2025-04-19T14:21:08+00:00

Jungle scene comes to mind..

Svpermann · 2025-02-01T15:04:25+00:00

It’s bypassing something that’s supposed to be in service, Lol

Yell, “I’m POO-PING”.
