11 WATERPROOFNESS
Coaxial cable, connectors, and overall cables, performance and lifetime strongly depend on waterproofness
level. The main purpose of ensuring waterproofness is to avoid the direct contact with water and thus prevent
oxidation of the connectors and also protect against steam, salt and dust,
The N connectors must be waterproofed self-vulcanizing scotch-seal (rubber mastic tape), then with
and finally with 2 zip tie-wraps (at the top and at the bottom connector).
The connectivity cover insures the waterproofness of the mini base station itself. The gasket must be correctly
positioned in the groove of the cover. Once the 3G Key is connected to the mini station and the Ethernet cable
is passed through the pipe of the cover and connected to the mini station, the cover must be screwed on the
front panel of the station.
