[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1101772, member: 176704"] The vast majority of such caps are merely for protection during transport as, apart from being "blind", they are not long enough to be fitted over the F-connector on the cable and still cover the exposed threads on the connector on the LNB itself. However, you can buy various types of F-connector boots which are designed for that purpose ([URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372313170427']such as these[/URL]), but be aware that not all of them will actually fit "all" the various types of F-connector, and moisture can thus still seep in. Personally, I've become a bit of a fan of [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312204442959']this this sort of stuff[/URL] from Plasticote as you just tighten the connector on the cable on that on the LNB, and then spray this stuff over it - also get's right into the spaces between LNB's on twin/quad etc., LNBs and DiSEqC switches, and it is easy to remove when needed. BTW: I also have some similar "brush-on" stuff but found that far less easy to ensure that everything well-sealed. [/QUOTE]
