Fellow TowerTalker's
I have for many years used this method with the exception that rather
than Saran wrap or Handi-wrap
I use aluminum foil. Fold a piece double, wrap it around the
connector...squeeze if around the connector
and seal the ends with electrical tape. No need to wrap the hole
thing. I have had some of these up for years
and when I took it apart it was just like it was when I wrapped it.
