There has been much discussion and debate about the best method for preventing corrosion of RJ45 connectors and jacks. I've heard all sorts of recommendations and condemnations. I propose that IPVM perform a formal, technologically valid test of the different anti-corrosion coatings and connector types to determine what actually is best.

I think this test could benefit us all. Here is my proposal:

******: ******* ******* ********** *** ***********. Place **** ** *********, ****-***, *** other ************; ******* **** ******** ********* substances. ***** * ****** ** **** measure *** ******* ** *** ***********, visually ******* *** ********** *** *****.

Test ********* ** *******:-- RJ45 Connectors-- Push-through type connectors-- Standard connectors-- Bare connections (no additives)

****-********* *********:-- ********** ******-- **-**-- **********-- Deoxit
