That site has some good prices on those items, but it doesn't really seem to be setup as an online store.  When you get to the ordering section of the checkout the only payment option listed is "Purchase Order".

Not sure what your asking , The rubber Grommets are in the bottom of the case were the wire goes thru fit real snug as for strain relief I zip tie the cords together inside of the case 2 channels per 1 zip tie.

From the pix it looked like you used bushing for the input power cables.  Looking closer I can see that they are just grommets as well.

I was looking at the RJ45 weatherproof connector, and I think we could probably use these as well...

I can't tell from the picture.  Are these just a seal for the cable to pass through or does it have a female connector on both ends?  My guess based on the price it's just a seal.

These look to be Hutton RJ-45FT's.  They are just seals.  The cable passes thru them and when the outside cap is tightened they close down on the cable.

Great links, thanks guys. My bookmark folder just keeps growing and growing...

[diceman3807]

I believe you're right about it being just a passthru....<sigh>...I should have read the description instead of looking at the picture!

I bought a bunch of these from an ebay vendor (csibuyandsell) who occasionally offers them.  I plan to use them with my hubs.   They are made for field techs - you just pass the cat5 cable thru, plug them in and tighten them down.  I paid $10 for a bag of 10.

OK, so I went with the cords from monoprice (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) as they provided the look I wanted.

Cut them the right length, fed them through, labeled them (so I know which one is one and which one is 16) and finished up with labels for the box.

I think it looks pretty good....

I fought myself over labeling the channel numbers and decided that I'd rather have the channel numbers on the box and just place the box in a different position every year rather than having to re-program the box when I want to change the channel. Besides, the only one that really matters is the one I'm putting on the roof....

If you like the labels I have for the box, I have them at:

I currently have through Channel 64 (as I'm only planning on 4 LE's this year) but I can add up to any channel count anyone wants....

Can you post a link.  Not sure which "Christmas Tree Shop" you are referring to.  Links are a good thing. 

Thanks
