[AFMUG] Simple Junction Box??

2015-03-05 Thread Sterling Jacobson
Still looking for a simple junction box to cover existing Cat5 coming out of the house. This is for joining the crapping indoor rated existing Cat5 to and outdoor rated cable. Home Depot has a $3 pvc grey junction box with screw on cover and two ½ inch holes. That's about the best I can find.
