What is everyone using for the rj45 jack? 

How about this?

I saw that thread and wondered if that is what everyone was using.  I guess it is?

[IndianaChristmas]

I'm just curious.  Is the hardware linked above in both posts mounted on the the enclosures using holes drilled in the enclosure or using existing holes (assuming the 1500 case is used)?
Or
Am I completely off base and don't really understand the need/use of the items mentioned?

Thanks

Greetings,,,

The Aether doesn't use the 1500 case.  It uses a floodlight case.  In case that is the question.

These are what I used for the Aether,

like Keith said, in  the floodlight case. RJ gives the directions for installing these adapters in the case video.

Ah, I was off base a bit thinking you were talking about LE cases but I did learn something and biscuit provided a very nice link for something I thought I could have used this winter.
Thanks guys.

My, that's an excellent price!

But shipping is a bear.  Those appear to be a waterproofing system to allow a standard network cable to get into an enclosure (what we do need to do) rather than bringing out a weather proof RJ45 to allow the cable to be changed more easily.

With the cheap system, you would need to open the light up, take out the board, unplug the cable, change the weatherproofing to the new cable and attach, reattach the  Aether to the case, and close the case.

I *think* this one:

brings a female connector outside so there would not be any disassembly of the case, just swapping over the weatherproofing stuff to a new network cable.  I am trying to get details.

[CaptKirk]

Yep, it does- this fits all our requirements.  See here:

Great find.  Thanks.  I wish I had these before I built my Aethers.

[vairmoose]

price wise,  this might be a good source for those connectors:

These get down to $5.50 each at qty 4- just ordered 6.

The Sparco site is $1.35 less, but their site has problems (invalid security certificate) and I could not find shipping charges (did not want to create an account at a site with security cert issues!!), and which one is it- the too shot 4" or the more reasonable 12"??  I KNOW I'm getting the 12" one so I can have cable length to lift out the board.

When looking this past July-August, this was the cheapest I could find after much searching, and it looks like you guys got something cheaper. I got these for my Aethers since the price was right, and I liked the fact that I could install them with drilling just one 1" hole, and since the part mounted inside was only an inch deep, clearance wasn't an issue.

They even used to have a little animation on the web page showing how it was installed, but it's not there anymore for some reason.
