LeMotech Junction Box with Reserved Holes ABS Plastic Electrical Box IP65 Waterproof Dustproof Project Enclosure for Electronics White 5.9 x 4.3 x 2.8 inch

I got this box to install a POE security camera for the house, I wanted the camera to be attached to the box in order to hide some of the excess cable that came with the box. Overall this box was exactly what I wanted for my project, it is pretty durable for being plastic and the box comes with everything needed to mount and run at least 2 cables out of it (I only needed 1). The craftsmanship of the box is really good, quite exceeding my expectations for the price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is in need of a product like this. There is one thing I think could be improved with this box. As I've mentioned earlier I bought this to mount a POE security camera, while I loved that this box came with 1/2" cable glands but the outside cap of the glands is just a TAD too small for a standard RJ45 connector (even without any sleeves) to go through. It is an easy fix where I just used a step drill bit to make the cap a bit bigger but after getting the cable through even when screwed all the way in there is still a little bit of space between the cable and the gland seal. I don't know if it is because I made the cap bigger but luckily where I mounted the box isn't be exposed to weather. Maybe this box isn't designed to have a CAT5 cable run through the gland but with POE stuff being very popular these days I think the manufacturer should take that into consideration.

Solid quality I used this to house my exterior home automation hardware. I mounted the electronics inside and sealed it up. I did have to make a cut out for a small fan to extract heat which was not difficult and the plastic cut well not cracking the surrounding area. Keeps all of the electronics dry.

Size of box reviewed: 5.9 x 5.9 x 2.8 (150mm x 150mm x 70mm). I found the material of the box allowed for easy modifications with needed holes to be drilled. The lid fits nicely on the box, with a built-in seal around the edge to keep it weatherproof. Overall, I was very pleased with the quality of workmanship and material of this project box. My project required several holes to be drilled in my box. The pre-scored 1" (25 mm) knock-outs are nice, but I needed a 1-1/8" (28 mm) hole where two of those knock-outs were located. So, I drilled a small pilot hole in the center of the knock-outs and then used a hole-saw attachment on my drill to bore the required 1-1/8" (28mm) hole (see pic with yellow hole saw). My project was to supply and distribute multiple voltages to be used by different devices. I mounted 2 ScanStrut weatherproof USB-A ports (ASIN B071WXWS9C) on the sides of the box. Inside the box, I also mounted a 6 VDC buck converter (ASIN B07SGJSLDL) and a 12 VDC buck/boost converter (ASIN B07N3QT628). From each of these converters, I will route the outputs through the cable glands mounted on the top of the box. The LeMotech box comes with 2 black cable glands, but I used 2 grey ones (ASIN B094ZDSD86) instead of the ones that came with the box. These required 2 custom 12 mm holes to be drilled in the top side of the box.. This has turned out to be one of the smoothest project box jobs I have done. Hints for good results: drill holes slowly into the material, and do NOT force the drill/saw into the material. When sawing, proceed slowly so as to CUT the material, rather than BURN it. Since this project, I have ordered another one of the boxes of this same size, as well as another in a smaller size, for use in other projects.

I'm very impressed with this ABS junction box. The hardware included was high quality. I've installed it where it won't be in the weather, so I won't be able to test the weatherproof-ness of the box. It's super sturdy yet easy to make cuts to it if necessary. I wouldn't hesitate to grab another one of these for another project if the need were to arise.

Great item Wish it had the cable support going into box
