You'll
also need:

A
little silicon around the wire where it comes into the box couldn't hurt
either.

This is interesting too: http://www.wlanparts.com/product/RJ45-ECS

I missed how big is the box, and would it be permissible to
splice the wires rather than use a coupler.
I read years ago, when I tried -- (and things change) that I
could not buy a coupler rated for this in a DRY location.

This is switching from an electrical problem to a plumbing one.
While following good electronic principals,
it might help to start thinking like a plumber.
(OR a diver.)

I have a bunch of ideas I've actually used,
but the box needs to be big enough
AND of the air tight (and waterproof?) type..

Is the two foot depth because of potential frost damage?
(Or is it according to the older specs of the National electrical Code?)
