Are Belden FSNS1P6QS Snap N Seal connectors waterproof? Their own datasheet doesn't say, but there is a rubber "O" ring at the base. If they aren't, then why bother with the "O" ring?

They are very good but at our satellite uplink center we would still give them a few layers of Scotch 33+ tape. If a customer install fails you have an outage, if the uplink center has a failure it can be millions of customers affected so I don't take any chances.

Yeah, I'm also going to tape them up to be sure.
