Moisture detector configured to detect moisture in a cable

A cable moisture detector configured to detect moisture in a coaxial cable, comprising:

• a housing portion configured to mechanically couple with a coaxial cable connector that terminates a coaxial cable;
• an inner conductor portion disposed in at least a portion of a housing cavity portion of the housing portion and structurally configured to pass a radio frequency (RF) signal through the housing portion to a moisture alert device that is configured to provide a moisture presence alert when moisture is detected in the housing cavity portion;
• a moisture detection circuit disposed in at least a portion of the housing cavity portion;
• wherein the housing portion comprises an outer conductor portion that is configured to at least partially surround the inner conductor portion;
• wherein the housing portion includes a connection portion that is configured to at least partially receive a coaxial cable connector that terminates the coaxial cable;
• wherein the connection portion is configured to electrically couple an outer conductor of the coaxial cable connector with the outer conductor portion and to electrically couple a center conductor of the coaxial cable with the inner conductor portion;
• and
• wherein the moisture detection circuit comprises an RF circuit that is configured to change an RF signal value when moisture is present in the housing cavity portion and relay an electronic signal to the moisture alert device so as to provide the moisture presence alert that moisture is present in the coaxial cable when moisture is detected in the housing cavity portion.
