Suggest using flooded/jelly-filled "icky pic" cable to prevent moisture problems. Worth noting that Contel used flooded telephone cable even for aerial applications. Was told that Verizon techs hate dealing with it!
Did you take the Unifi G2 surge protector apart to see what it looks like inside? The picture of the connector you posted looks like pins 2,3,4 eroded completely away. But pins 1,5,6,7,8 look ok. If you are using POE delivered on the orange and green (data) pairs and moisture got into the connector, well, pins 2 and 3 are right next to each other with POE voltage between them.
EDIT: Some Ubiquiti power injectors support 4-pair powering:
Pins 1, 2, 4, 5 (+) and Pins 3, 6, 7, 8 (-)
If you are using 4-pair powering, pin 2 is positive, pin 3 is negative, and pin 4 is positive.
These are the ONLY pins with opposite polarity right next to each other! And they are the only ones damaged.....things to make you go hmmm!
