ABSTRACT:
An assembly for providing a weatherproof feedthrough for data communications cables into a structure. The assembly includes a unique housing having a cavity for removably receiving a connector attached to a terminal end of a cable in a fixed orientation. The cable attached to the connector in the cavity exits the assembly into a protected side of the structure. A cable from the unprotected side of the structure enters the assembly such that a connector disposed on its terminal end may be connected to the connector in the cavity. The assembly is particularly suited to allow off the shelf connectors to be used within the housing. The assembly may include strain relief devices for protecting the cables attached to the connectors.
