I currently have an RBR50 base and 2 RBS50 Satellites connected with wired ethernet backhaul connections. I would like to add an outdoor RBS50Y in the same method.
Is this supported?
I understand I need to keep this unit and wires protected from significant weather.

The RBS50Y has no ethernet jack. Wired ethernet backhaul is impossible.

Possible.
Might enable Daisy Chain on the RBR first.

Thanks for the info...I was still looking at solutions for my outdoor wifi access.
It looks like a weather proof case for a RBS50.

You might send a private message to @Mstrbig (by clicking on his screen name). He has posted several times about installing satellites outdoors with enclosures. I do not recall seeing reference to any specific products or where he got them.
Such as this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Looking-for-Outdoor-POE-Extension-for-Orbi-Mesh-in-Home/m-p/19...
As you can tell from the messages, it is often more convenient to install outdoor access points that get power over the ethernet cable (PoE).
Good Luck
