That's where cable glands come in. By installing these over the cable, they form-fit to make a seal, keeping your project box innards safe from the outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular gland is specifically designed for RJ-45 cables, commonly known as Ethernet or Cat-5 cables. This gland is meant to work with any existing Ethernet cable and works in two parts to allow attachment\/detachment. First, install the dual-socket part into the enclosure (that's the part all the way to the left). It has two RJ-45 sockets. Next, take apart the gland and slide the Ethernet cable thru it, with the over-nut first, then the rubber gasket, then finally the contracting gland. Plug in the cable, and screw the first over-nut to attach it to the socket, then tighten the gland to complete the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note, \u003c\/strong\u003eif you have an Ethernet cable with an over-molded boot, the boot can get in the way of the cable. You can cut the boot off (carefully!) or use a cable that doesn't have one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/freaklabs.org\/index.php\/Tutorials\/Hardware\/Weatherproof-Wireless-Enclosure-Build-Tutorial.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAdafruit Best-Friend-Forever (BFF) Akiba over at Freaklabs.org has a great tutorial about how to use cable glands to keep waterproof enclosures waterproof, even with power or data or sensor cables coming out.\u003c\/a\u003e Please check it out for some excellent information about how to use them!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Ethernet\/RJ-45 Cables is not included!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42304306570,"sku":"ADA827","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/827-06.jpg?v=1539264185","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/cable-gland-waterproof-rj-45-ethernet-connector-rj-45","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
