Protect any exposed ethernet cable connections from rain or other adverse weather conditions with this RJ45 cable gland. This gland is designed for IP security cameras.* It covers the camera's ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants. If your connection will be exposed to regular precipitation, you may also want to seal the cap of this gland with silicone or electrical tape for an extra layer of protection.
