Connector Protection Constructing external plant can be a costly part of network expansion. If connections are not properly installed it can also be a source of long term expenditure. External plant equipment is also susceptible to temperature extremes, corrosive salt spray, and unauthorized tampering. Sealing and protecting external connection points is an ideal way to prevent signal degradation due to loose connectors, and to protect your connections from the natural elements, leading to a longer life. Contech Chemshrink and self amalgamating tape, are two great products that give superior protection without endangering your technicians with heat guns.  Reduce Ingress Caused by Loose Connectors
