Adafruit Cable Gland - Waterproof RJ-45 / Ethernet connector

Protect your outdoor electronic projects with precision-engineered cable glands, designed specifically for RJ-45 Ethernet cables. Securely enclose your components while maintaining a robust seal against moisture and environmental factors.

Each dual-socket gland operates with a straightforward two-part system for effortless attachment and detachment. Compatible with standard Ethernet cables, it seamlessly integrates into your setups, ensuring reliable protection for intricate devices.

For assembly, install the dual-socket part into your enclosure. Slide the Ethernet cable through the gland components—start with the over-nut, followed by the rubber gasket, and finally, the contracting gland. Securely plug in the cable and tighten the gland for a complete weatherproof seal.

Note that Ethernet cables with over-molded boots may require boot removal. Enjoy peace of mind with a dependable setup that keeps your sensitive electronics safe, as detailed in an insightful Freaklabs.org tutorial by Adafruit collaborator Akiba.
