Bullets rubber stopper problem

[Patagoche]

I've just had a problem when installing a bullet. It's rubber stopper designed to keep water from getting into bullets back end just teard apart after inserting an external UTP cable through its hole. I guess everyone uses external UTP (which is thicker than normal UTP due to it's added protective layer) when doing a wireless setup for obvious reasons. The thing is, it's hole is too narrow to support external cables which everyone uses, so It's something to work on for upcoming revisions of this product.
Thank in advance.

The rubber piece that came with the bullets I've used already have a small slice in them out of the box. That way you can install the bullet without having to crimp a new connector on the end of the cable on site. It still seems to seal really good.

I left one outside while testing a few weeks ago and the ethernet side was facing up. It rained all weekend on it with no drip loop and its still running perfect. Although I wouldn't recommend this.

While the jacket thickness a a tad thicker, the outside diameter of indoor and outdoor cable is the same.

Indoor UTP:
Jacket thickness: 0.4 mm (0.015")
Outer cable diameter: 5.1 mm (0.2")

Outdoor UTP:
Jacket thickness: 0.65 mm (0.025")
Outer cable diameter: 5.3 mm (0.2")

hi,

external UTP here is thinner than internal, it has a tight polyprop outer as opposed to a fairly loose pvc one for indoor use.

Either way for long service, don't just rely on the rubber bung, wrap some amalgamating around it

Hola Patagoche, como dice Bill, es recomendable usar una cinta autovulcanizante y agregale un par de capas de cinta de PVC para que el sol no degrade la goma.

Bill... thats I said...

Hello Patagoche, as Bill says, is recommendable to use an auto vulcanized tape tape and add a pair of PVC tape layers so that the sun does not degrade the rubber.
