Ditto looks like an ethernet compression fitting you grafted on the unit?
Hard to tell from the small pic.. |

| its the but end of Nanobridge: indeed just drilled it and screwed in the gland
sorry but my iphone5 comes in any day: pic taken with a 40 dollar replacement phone (lost the 3gs) |

We have never used the grommet that came with. It seemed to compress our outdoor cable way to much. The grommet gets pitched. And yes that means non of them have anything. No failures. If you think about it, any water that (may) get in there will settle at the bottom and drip out of the feedhorn mount.
Almost all CPE's will have the feed horn up a degree or two anyway. The only failures we have are lightning, the stupid reset to defaults, and lack of high power on bridges LOL. Of course there is the impossible feat of trying to get the damned things apart when there is an issue with a feedhorn. Might I add the lack of individual parts for replacement as well. My kids love the frisbees though, I hate the shelf space they take up, and overall waste.
The grommet is the last thing I think about to be honest.

We just throw the black plastic part in the garbage and seal it with ducting putty. It keeps the moisture out and eventually drys out.
I have over 90 deployed nanobridges and not a single failure other then user error caused by incorrectly crimped wire.
This is the toughest product ubiquiti makes far tougher then the rocket M5. I just wish it had more ram. |
|
| funny you mention because my first unit I installed with nothing but a bit of putty
its still working: even that grommet is not bit enough to push through a terminated cable so it still a pita.
I am starting to use more of them and the next post will explain why. |

Ive always used the grommet, the only thing I do weird is I never clip the feedhorns in, always installed up side down if you will.

kudos:2 | said by Inssomniak:I never clip the feedhorns in, always installed up side down if you will. I only have a few NB's, but I do the same thing. Makes it much easier to wiggle the feedhorn back out. In the cold winter temps, I can hardly imagine them surviving when trying to pry the plastic open if assembled "properly". |

If you guy's don't mind me asking, What issues do you encounter that require you to take the integrated radio/dipole out ?.
The only time ive had to remove it has been when im replacing the level1 tough cable with proper wire that doesn't lie about it being uv resistant. (I have a 100% failure rate on level1 tough cable within 6 months to a year and a half)
Even in the winter its not been that big of a deal to get it out you just need a small thin enough standard screwdriver to pry it real good.
I have never had a nanobridge fail not even once that was not caused by an incorrectly crimped wire. |

Only time we have had to take them apart is to swap a 2.4 to a 5.8 in a pinch.
I also install the feedhorns upside down. Makes things a hell of a lot easier for just in case situations. |

No NB failures for me so far, but I have had a few customer cancellations. I retain ownership of the antennas, so if the customer cancels, I want to be able to take it apart without cutting the wire in case the client signs back up or someone else moves into the home. |

I do the same as Gunther. Just leave a gaping open hole, and secure the CAT5 nice and close to the mast with some cable ties. No water damage in 6 units since they were installed a couple years ago. |

I know what thewisperer did he used outdoor RJ45 feed thru on the NB horn. |

Its the only time I have to replace them, we lose a handful to lightning just like any other radio.

We use it and give our POE's a dedicated ground that bypasses the ups's ground. (Our boxes have their own grounding rod). So far we just have POE failures after pretty much every big storm. We have not yet experienced a failure or switchport failure from lightning yet. |

kudos:1 | We use it on tower sites, but that hasnt made a huge difference. Earlier this year lightning hit directly a site and blew 2 up in one crack along with the PoEs and router.
Customers, not really, after the sour taste of tough cable gave us we never tried the new stuff.
Some of the older stuff I dont mind replacing! I can finally get that 2024 MTU Ive been after!
