Please log in for more thread options This winter I've had three outages caused by water leaking into the bldg and causing the jacks to corrode to the point of total damage. That's more than I've had in a decade at work. No problem replacing a few dollar jack. But with the near record setting rains we had, these kinds of problems should have been taken care of if roofs and exteriors had been maintained better. But it didn't occur to me that things could've been much worse if more water had leaked until I read this article. Of course the rain water isn't as potent as urine.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8167302/ -- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@h@e@r@e@@ ###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

Well, if you are in a part of the country that suffers from acid rains, you may find that it's only slightly less potent than a Japanese kitten's urine ;-) ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.telecom-gear.com http://www.telecom-gear.com no-spam access to your favorite newsgroup - comp.dcom.telecom.tech,comp.dcom.cabling - messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Hey! That's a brilliant thought. The rain probably has a high concentration of acid from the pollution, smog, etc. And that would explain why the damage is so total to the jack. I found that the two center gold plated wires were completely gone, replaced with a pile of black corrosion. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Any salts, or solubles, in the water will increase its' conductivity..

The metal would also tend to migrate to the cathode, just like electro-plating. Phil Partridge philp@pebbleGRIT.demon.co.uk Remove the grit to reply | ||||||||||||||||||||||
