This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I was given a set of 4 vehicle cameras and was trying to figure a good way to waterproof the soldered wires. Thank You!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you found it useful!

@@TheDIYGuy1 if it’s swa cable for pond is this ok to do

[@ssiva5212]

Thank you very much. I feel more confident as a firts timer to connect cables, accidently cut through when pruning garden plants. Very helpful for a total novice to know which tools are required as well

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad it helped

[@Baqu84]

great video, also thanks for the links in the description, makes a difference. I also need a cable itself. would be handy to add that to description for others.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks for your comment.

Do you have to use a specific cable as you are using outside? I need to run a cable extension from outside socket to some PIR stake lights. Maybe use a 3 way version of this box to branch off in 2 directions. Im enjoying your videos, Will you be making any videos on outside garden lighting to lighten up dark pathways.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Yes I do have plans for further outdoor lighting. Thanks

[@cardmancalvin549]

Good

[@explosivefitnessuk]

Thanks mate. Great videos. I am removing my external PIR sensor light and replacing with a LED floodlight one. But i want it in a different position so need to extend the cable 3 meter. Would this be a good solution for that? If so is 1.5mm 3 core hi tuff cable ok or does it need to be armored? Thanks

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. Yes you could use the 1.5mm 3 core hi tuff. The only time I would use armoured is if it is buried underground.

[@explosivefitnessuk]

@@TheDIYGuy1 Thank you!

The best product is the one that works best for you

[@ericdickson2248]

Can you use liquid tight connects in the ends instead of what comes with it? Also can it be buried in the ground?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Hi, I would avoid burying in the ground.

[@DL-oq9tp]

What cable strippers are you using ?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Stanley fatmax automatic wire stripper's

[@robertoleszek8361]

This will never stay tight. Use dielectric gel
