1. A connector drip-proof member, comprising: a cylinder part attached to a cable wherein an end of the cable is connected to a connector such that a part of the cable is covered by the cylindrical part; a barb portion connected to the cylinder part and configured to receive liquid droplets therein so as to prevent liquid droplets on the cable from reaching the connector; and a water absorption member configured to absorb liquid collected on a top surface of the barb portion, wherein the barb portion comprises: an upper surface configured to face a back-side of the cable; and an under surface configured to face an end side of the cable, wherein the cylinder part penetrates the barb portion from the upper surface to the under surface, wherein the upper surface is concave, wherein the barb portion further comprises an annular return portion connected to a radially outermost edge of the upper surface, the annular return portion extending toward the cylinder part from the radially outermost edge of the upper surface, and wherein the upper surface of the barb portion, an outer surface of the cylinder part and an inner surface of the annular return portion form an open space in which the liquid droplets are to be received, and wherein the water absorption member is arranged on the inner surface of the annular return portion.
