Weatherproofing

• 3M® Self-Healing Weatherproofing Tape
  • Good weatherproofing tape, I seal all my connections with this. Pull and stretch it as you wrap it to maximize its effectiveness. -Tog

Lightning Protectors

• N-Male to N-Female Bulkhead 0-6 GHz Lightning Surge Protector
  • I use these inside my weatherproof boxes that I put together for APs. The N-male part of the lightning protector inside the box connects to the N-female/u.FL radio pigtails. The N-female bulkhead sticks out the bottom of the box. Ground wire runs from the lightning protector(s) over to a bolt that sticks out the bottom of the box. The bolt outside the box makes it easy to connect and disconnect the grounding from the box. -Tog
