IRON FORGE CABLE Weatherproof Water Resistant Extension Cord Connection Box, Outdoor Plug Cover for Electrical Connections, Power Tools, Power Strips Landscape and Holiday Lightings - Gray

Great product. Works for the purpose of protecting ur outdoor electric connection against water and other extreme weather conditions !

I use these with cheap routers to get wifi all over my large yard, and it works great. I just drill holes for the router antennas and add some silicone. Very sturdy, and I feel confident no water gets into it. If there was a way for me to make something from scratch for half as much money, the time doing it etc... wouldn't be worth it, this is very well made, just bite the bullet and buy it for peace of mind.

Got this to protect a junction of 4 inflatible Christmas decorations and a laser light projector I was placing m the center of my yard. From the house, an extension cable ran in to this to a outlet strip and all the decorations plugged in to that.It's rather spacious inside. The strip (along with its 3ft. length of cord, extension cord end, and the 5 decoration plugs (the kind with the small "box" plugs on the end) all fit just fine.The box's hinge is on one of the short sides and the protected cord holes are centered on a long side. There are 5 openings, each large enough to fit one heavy duty extension cord sized cord. There are also a few scored areas on the sides that you could punch out to fit larger cords or maybe even a small junction into, but they aren't protected from the elements so you'd be responsible for waterproofing them.You open the box and remove the top half of the rubberized protective shield. Place your cords into the (half)holes and replace the top half by snapping it back in to its slot. The rubber flexes around the cords from both sides, creating a tight seal around them. Then you close the actual box and snap the lever closed. Your electricals are now safe.The box has slots on the outside to mount to a wall but I placed it on a flat surface, as was suggested, on the ground in the center of the decorations in the middle of my yard and didn't touch it for about a month. We endured quite a few very heavy, windy thunderstorms during this time and when I opened it up it was bone dry inside.This is exactly what I was looking for. It allowed me to connect multiple decorations together out in the elements and kept them dry the whole season.

Plenty of rain and not one tripped breaker. Not one spider or bug in the thing. Great quality. Definitely worth the price.

I got this because I needed to weather proof the extension cord that is connected to the electric vehicle charger cord. I needed to use an extension cord because the EV charger plug is too bulky to fit in the exterior weather proof outlet. This has been doing to job of keeping the connection dry. I haven't mounted up on the wall like I thought I would be doing yet. It's been on the ground and fine for over 6 months so I may mount it now for a more permanent looking solution.

These are great boxes for outside Xmas lighting. I put an Alexa enabled outlet plug into the box with an outlet strip to control a section of Xmas lighting. I have a few of these. Much better to deal with compared to the other brand / model on Amazon.These boxes have a cable / entrance section that keeps the cables locked in when the cover is opened. The other, it's built into the cover, and when you open the cover the cords all come out.These boxes have a great latch that is easy to use. The other brand used clips, one on each end. They tend to come out of their position on the box when loosening from the cover. And are a pain These boxes have one latch that is smooth and easy to use and lockable.. if you want so you can keep honest people fingers out. Of course a rock or hammer would be a generic key since it's all plastic.If your using smart home modules (rf) in the box. The other brand has a cover that captures water and ice. Causing attenuation of the RF signal. These boxes she'd water off of the lid.Great boxes.
