I'm in the process of installing a number of Polyphaser IS-B50 arrestors on a 
.120" thick copper bulkhead plate. The plate is mounted over an 8" core hole in 
my foundation wall through which will pass all of my coax.  Due to the N 
male/female connector configuration on IS-B50 device, I believe they all must 
be mounted on the outside of the plate rather than behind the plate and out of 
the weather.  My question is whether anyone has a fool proof, homebrew method 
of waterproofing besides a thorough coating of RTV.  There appears to be a 
waterproofing kit available from Polyphaser, but I have no idea what the kits 
includes.  Also, has anyone tried swapping the connectors so the "antenna" end 
is male and the "equipment" end is female?
