We are often contacted and asked about weather tight connectors and the which products have lasting durability.
Of course being Switchcraft distributors we feel very comfortable recommending these product weather tight connectors range.
As you will be aware there are plenty of manufacturers with class A audio and video connectors that will do the job but the single most popular question is how long will they last.
Most products will be rigorously tested to international TUV standards and going the extra mile in materials used will determine the life expectancy of the products.
The technical specifications for most audio visual connectors only goes so far as dealing with quality of output and not weather durability. For the most durable weather tight connectors make sure you speak to a technician.
There will be an update to this article and in the meantime we would like to hear your comments.
