Protecting CCTV camera Cat5 plug and socket outdoors
I need to connect PoE CCTV cameras (HikVision DS-2CD2042WD-I) to Cat5
cabling outdoors. The cabling that came with the cameras has plugs already installed at each end and the camera instructions say to cut one plug off, thread the cable through a supplied tube and gland, and then crimp a new plug onto the cable before connecting the plug and the camera's socket inside the weatherproof tube. If I can, I would prefer to leave the plug on and hide the connected plug and socket inside a weatherproof enclosure. As well as avoiding the possibility of poor connections, this would also ensure that the unused power connector from the camera would be out of the weather too. Can anyone suggest such an enclosure? All the ones I have found so far would need to plug removing or are silly money. -- F |
