Still external rj45 issues

[Pocster]

So …

On this camera which has a ‘fly lead ‘ rj45 I could encase the connection in a blue gel box . Hasn’t failed yet 

 

I’ve got a mesh extender outside always having issues with the physical connection. If I wipe with my fingers all good again . Tried sprays and it’s in a water proof box but the atmosphere is causing problems .

 

Only possible solution I can think of is scoop the gel out of one blue boxes and force it in the rj45 socket - then plug the cable in .

If this extender had a fly lead I’m guessing there would be no issue .

 

Any better suggestions ?

Thanks for all the replies . I’ve bought another blue electrical gel box . I’ll scoop the stuff out and stick it in the rj45 connector - see what happens

I looked at the post, realized i had no better alternative to what you had already done. Thought either a) hole in the bottom of the box to exposed air to atmosphere or b) silica gel in the box. Neither would work id imagine.

It’s the thought that counts 😊

Hi @Pocster

 

Er... No one wants to look at your photos in case their of, or eluding to, an abnormal anatomical subject matter.  Especially when you write about gel.

I stuffed the hole full of my scooped out gloop . Will see what happens .

I also attempted to fix my rj45 issue .
