The only time I had this happen was when I used Belden's garden hose 9913
coax and a connector downstream got burnt.  I have never seen a water
stained connector.

Would anyone have pictures of a coax connection you've taken apart and found
coated or filled inside with that powder that tells you water HAS been in
there in the past? I need it today or tomorrow. I've been asked to put
together a quick presentation on cable handling, waterproofing, etc. A
PL-259/SO-239 pair would be ideal, but I will take whatever I can get.

It has been 20 years since I had one of those myself and a web search
surprisingly did not turn up such a picture.
