Consider wrapping the connectors with Coax-Seal or Scotch 2228.

Yes I know, I ran that bedroom cable a while back before I was educated on the basics and there isn't enough slack in the basement to create a loop. Plus the cable was a pain to run (I had to use lube). I used the gray electrical putty stuff though and I'm pretty sure It's keeping moisture out.
I'll look into Coax Sealers but honestly I might just paint it. The old Comcast block was painted and seemed to protect it pretty well.
GroundUrMast, it sounds like your screwed either way from a direct hit so I'll probably just live with what I have for now. Is my internal splitter grounding to the nearest receptacle (the bottom pic) helping?
