I did my cases the same way as Jeff (lineman).  I have a ton of grommets left over.  I bought a case since it was cheaper.  I will sell the for exactly what I paid for them which was about $0.18 each (I will double check) + PayPal and exact shipping.

If anyone is interested in them let me know.

To be honest, I personally would not use grommets to hold SPT-2 wire in the case.  Grommets are usually used to protect the wire from sharp edges, not 'strain relief'.  Another reason being the it would still be a problem if the wires were pulled, as grommets would let the wire 'slip' through the hole it was installed..  Alot of people, including myself are using the 'Romex' clamps that tighten down with a screw driver.

Thank you Bill. I was also looking to prevent water from entering the unit. Your romex clamps are a good idea

Do these have a female RJ45 inside the connector ro do you have to insert a coupler??

Ok - Let me explain a bit more.  'Romex clamps' are intended to be used indoors, out of the weather.  That being said, it's possible to utilize them inside a 'protected' enclosure.  There are several alternatives, but it's going to be up to the individual using them to decide.  Here's one I found at a local/national supply place---- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.  Using a connector of this type will undoubtedly use a bunch of space/area.   There are many more choices, but you the end user will have to make the final decision on price and such.  It all depends on several factors - outside (rain/wind/excessive cold/etc...),  Some enclosures you can purchase are designed for outdoor use.  The CG-1500 is, but it has limitations as it is designed for 'COXIAL' cable and such..   You have to use a 'sealant', silicone or something similar to make it resistant to water penetration (notice I did not say ""WATER PROOF"").  Believe me when I say that nothing is truly 'waterproof', humidity and other factors will make certain enclosures 'sweat/condensate' on the inside.

I'm no expert on the subject, but Ive had my dealings with several issues on enclosures.....

You all are hard core!

I put strain reliefs on my LE's and they only cost me a penny each.

They are zip ties!

The way you have your boxes sealed up if you did get water in them there is no where for it to go.

They certainly do look nice though.
