Review on SMAKN® Waterproof Coupler Shielded Installable( by Adrienne Gonzalez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not shielded but appears to be waterproof

Although the description says 'shielded' there is definitely no visible or measurable shield connection between the two sides. To test, I connected two Category 5e shielded patch cords and measured the lack of continuity between their shields. To test for water resistance, I crimped a 2-foot piece of Category 5e Direct Burial cable, spliced the ends to that piece, and submerged it in water for two days. a bucket of water. After drying outdoors in front of the fan, disassembly and inspection showed no moisture. In operation I would probably recommend applying some silicone dielectric grease to ensure the gland connections and internal o-rings (o-rings not visible in the photos) stay tight. in the long run.

Pros
  • Connectors and adapters
Cons
  • May cause injury
