## Description

Adafruit have some great [waterproof and weather-proof items in the adafruit shop](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=waterproof&), but once you have a project built, you'll want to enclose it. But how to keep an enclosure weather/waterproof while still attaching cables for power, data or sensors? That's where cable glands come in. By installing these over the cable, they form-fit to make a seal, keeping your project box innards safe from the outdoors. Adafruit have two sizes, [the PG-7 size is good for cables 0.118" to 0.169" diameter](https://core-electronics.com.au/cable-gland-pg-7-size-0-118-to-0-169-cable-diameter-pg-7.html) and this one, **the PG-9 size**, which is good for 0.158" - 0.252" diameter. These two are the most common sizes for power & data cables, be sure to measure them so you have the proper fit. [Adafruit Best-Friend-Forever (BFF) Akiba over at Freaklabs.org has a great tutorial about how to use cable glands to keep waterproof enclosures waterproof, even with power or data or sensor cables coming out.](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/6_46276744737.pdf) Please check it out for some excellent information about how to use them!
