Editing F connector (section)

=== Weatherproofing ===
The F connector is not weatherproof. Neither the threads nor the joint between male connector body and captive nut provide a water-tight seal. However, male connectors are commonly enhanced with an [[o-ring]] (of about 7{{nbsp}}mm) inside the captive nut. This seals between the mating faces of both connectors, providing some protection for the center conductor.{{cn|date=March 2024}}

Alternatively, waterproof versions or enclosures are recommended for outside use (for example, on antennas). Corrosion resistance, reliability of connector electrical conduction and water resistance can be improved by coating all bare copper wires and the connectors themselves with [[silicone grease]].  <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.w8ji.com/dielectric_grease_vs_conductive_grease.htm/ |title= Dielectric Grease vs. Conductive Grease|website=www.w8ji.com}}</ref>
