bhays Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Does anyone have an inexpensive source for 2 way outdoor RJ45 connectors like these?I found them here for around $9 each, but I may be needing quite a few and was hoping someone had a less expensive supplier. Thanks.I mainly need these for my z-tree. I am upgrading it to 265 channels this year. It's four 4.5' sections and the bottom two sections are split. I am going to premount the controllers in the tree sections and will need to connect them when I set it up. Otherwise, the connections are always inside the controller boxes...

bhays Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 I do make my own cables and I may just use a short piece of pvc and two caps instead... these are a little nicer if they were inexpensive enough, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisquit476 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 This is what I use for the RJ45 stuff. http://www.sparcotech.com has them pretty cheap, but watch out for the shipping Attached files RJ45-outdoor.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just get some of these cuz I don't like the wear on the board plugging the jack in and out of the boards and running it thru the hole at the bottom of the box. I like, me want.DrewI don't think wear is an issue. You're connecting these just a few times a season (maybe once). Compare that to, say, a laptop that goes home every day and then gets an RJ45 plugged into it at work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some connections that I just elevate and place in an inverted plastic bag, wire-tied on. It would be nice to have something a bit more robust.How do you keep water from entering where the wire enters the PVC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in Houston Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I haven't used the ones from Sparco but they are the same as these herehttp://www.bizsyscon.com/product.php?wastoproduct=yes&id=1448and I know the shilling is cheap. I have around 40 of these and have used them for two seasons with no problems.Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
