@Xrave You can probably see that the connector is protected by black insulating tape and only the cable is in a corrugated hose. I think this is better for protecting it from rain, snow, or at least that's how I do it. Any water that penetrates can weaken the signal by a few dB, which we definitely don't want.

@Carnbrea I think I didn't understand you very well. You are asking if it is water-cooled, it is located outside in the open air to have the best possible view of the sky without obstacles for better satellite reception, of course it is exposed to all atmospheric conditions. If you meant this blue ribbed hose, that's for the cables. I like to additionally protect everything possible.

@dm69 it looked like the blue water pipe we have here in the UK. It’s a good idea to put the cables through a duct - I’m keeping an eye on all the install photos for good ideas like yours before I order a geod miner myself.
