Why not just do it the easy - and proper - way, ie as in the original

heat-shrink or self-amalgamating tape cocooning the connectors.


Thanks everyone for the comments. Will go with the F-type plugs and
connector. Whilst the connection will be in the dry I may well
heat-shrink it too for completeness.


Ordinary heat shrink isn't waterproof. You need glue lined for that.

But self amalgamating tape is the normal way.
