Just did what I was supposed to do from the beginning: take this more seriously...:o( I guess I need some World Cup vacation, less than 3 months to go.
Went to the stores, grabbed a bunch of cables and inspected them. There's plenty of space around the tubing for the water to seep in. Definitely not waterproof shrink tubing. We will solder the cable on no-clean.
Thanks again to this wonderful forum!

Forgot to mention - keep in mind this is just the shrink tubing we are talking about. Are the connectors waterproof?
Can you go to a hand solder / hand clean solution?

Hi Ioan
Well, it depends(tm).
Some shrink tubing has an adhesive layer inside it, to make it waterproof. This is what is used, for example, on the wiring for a pump that gets dropped down a well. If the shrink tubing used for these has that layer you are probably OK.
Is there any visible p/n on the shrink tubing? And/or at the exposed edge of the tube is there any visible adhesive, usually there will be squeeze-out at the ends.
If it's the non-adhesive stuff, then the answer is no...
regards,
- Graham

Dear Technos,
Could I say that shrink tubing is water proof?
Otherwise said, I have this coax cable (connector - cable - connector) which has shrink tubing over both cable-connector junctions and wonder if it could pass through our in-line washer. What mainly bugs me is one of the connectors has a square body and with all those edges and corners I wonder how tight the tube can shrink around it. What I dread is not only water could seep under the tubing, but this could be dirty, ionic active water.
Thanks,
