Guys, how are you dealing with wet snow and wind?
Even when cap is on far end it is still fully covered by snow...

I think it is for Mikrotik design to make plastic surface rough. If it was glossy smooth maybe snow would slide down....(?)

The situation is that 60Ghz is useless a lot time in winter

Hello cube pro has a 5 Ghz backup link just use it when you need it

I don't think that roughness or smoothness would make much difference.
My car has rather smooth glasses, yet snow and ice stick to them quite well, but there are some defrost/heating provisions.
I believe the solution for these devices should be the same, adding a heater of some kind.
I seem to remember having read somewhere that in very cold climates dummy programs were run to keep CPU's at 100% thus generating more heat, buy no idea if it can be enough on a cube and in your situation.

I'll get my coat.

Hey, not solution. If there is need for 60Ghz, then there is need for multi hundred mb/s
That crappy AC with one chain cant push full 100mb/s........

I tried CPU to 100% for couple hours, makes no difference in temperature inside
seems that CPU is very efficient

So you need some anti-frost/heat trace cable wrapped around the cube or a similar heating pad, but how can you power it?

Joking

but seriously, some types of wet snow will stick to anything and the case has nothing to do with it. Even the round and slippery ATL suffers from wet snow, but of course 60GHz is more sensitive to it

Hi! This has worked very well for me in similar situations:
Before you start wasting energy and creating some complicated setups for doing that.
Apply Teflon (PTFE) spray on the affected surfaces. Snow or anything else won´t stick and it remains there for years.
Before applying PTFE, you should clean the surface thoroughly, preferably with some isopropyl alcohol, so to get rid of any dust and fat first.

That´s cheaper and probably even environmentally friendly, as you just need minuscule amounts.
Also Teflon is the thing used often in coax cables and other HF cables as isolation as it has great HF properties. So it probably wont affect the 60GHz in that thin coating form.

Yeah normis, I can agree, that even smooth surface woun't help

BUT, that is the answer I was looking for thanks woland

I was wondering for myself to apply some kind of waterfobic coating

RainX Spray?

RainX Spray?

Question is, if it can stand in direct sunlight for a year at least

You may also want to look at anti-graffiti coatings, some of them have highly hydrophobic components, and they surely can stand a year of sunshine.
Now that woland gave us the idea , look at this:

HIREC® / Super Hydrophobic Water Repellent Coating Series
Super Hydrophobic Coatings for Antenna, Radome and Dish Applications

though, unlike PTFE based spray or car-wax like products, I don't think you can find those easily.
