I should have been more specific on the bulkhead connector cable length. The short one is less than 36". I believe the original long one that came from Altronics was around 96", and the weather station would not powerup with that one. The moisture problem happened at a race. So the cap was not installed and the weather station was still plugged into the bulkhead. The way the male/female connections on the cable shown are not weathertight when in use, humidity as well. I am looking for a better way to make a $90 cable last.
