A good idea, but not very well made (or not well quality-controlled or both) and expensive for what they are, patent notwithstanding - essentially a slightly fancy plastic box. I got one as a Warehouse Deal, and it arrived with one of the insulation bits missing for the cable. Am sure Amazon will sort it out for me, but don't see how it could've come loose.. The others are stuck down quite firmly, you'd have trouble removing them, so guess this left the factory like this. For this price, you'd think they could afford decent quality control.. I paid a bit over £6 and it then cost around £7 new. Now they're nearly £9.50, which I think excessive.. They also do medium and large sizes (even more expensive).. They are reasonably sturdy, though, and will probably last a long time. The hinges used to secure it come loose sometimes, but only if they're open, once it's shut, they're secure. The lid is reasonably easy to open and close, although the clips can be a bit stiff. The inside available space on this size is 22 cm long, 11 cm wide and 9 cm deep, although not all of this space is fully available: there are 2 square pillars in the middle of each short side, on which the insulation material for the cables sits. These are around 3 cm square, so you've only got 16 cm length fully usable inside. Please see pictures, I've probably not explained that well. The outside measurements are 27 cm length, 15 cm width and 10 cm depth, with the lid attached. It's not big enough for a 4-gang extension socket, although a timer for a seed heating mat and the socket for the heat mat just about fit inside - I'll reluctantly pay the price for another one for this purpose. I bought this for a 2 plug socket on my outside extension lead, which fits easily with plugs in both sockets. If there is such a thing, a 3-gang extension socket would probably just about fit with plugs in it, although haven't tried this. The position of the cable feeds are not ideal in my view. If they'd put them in the corner of the short sides, or one (or better yet 2) on the long side, it would be far easier to feed the cables through and would've been more space efficient. As they are, if you're using a normal extension lead, you have to bend the cables for the devices around in quite a tight bend, which will surely lead to wear of the cables over time - don't think cables are meant to be bent that much. With the medium and large size boxes, the cable feeds are on the long side, which is better, but not ideal, either. One cable feed would be better on the short side of the box. As it's got a US patent, I imagine they're not designed with British sockets in mind. I've only used mine outside once so far, when it wasn't raining much, but am sure it's fully waterproof, or would be, with all the insulation pads. The entry points for cables are cushioned from above and below with silicone pads, to give a tight seal. It's not very heavy, so if it's being left in place permanently, might need to be weighed down. They're very handy for anything electrical outside, and would recommend and buy again, despite the price and shoddy quality control. Other brands cost just as much or more - some come with extension leads, though, so might work out a better price if you need one.

I bought several of these for WiFi mesh access points on masts at our annual agricultural /horticultural show, in some fields. These were placed at the bottom of each mast. Power from generators was plugged into C-form hookup plug to 13a socket adapter. Then a PoE injector (power over ethernet) was plugged into the socket. A Network cable cable was plugged into the injector and came out the other side of the Dribox and up the mast to provide power to the access point. The Dribox has a good quality gel-style waterproof seal all round the lid and also over the cable exits. The box was just the right size to contain the adapter and injector. Perfect for the job.

I take my pond pump out ever fall so it does not freeze in my small pond. It protects it over the winter.

Todo está bien

Bleibt im Innenraum trocken, hat schon Starkregen überstanden !Kann ich weiter empfehlen !

Cette boîte de connexion électrique extérieure est très facile à installer. Malgré sa petite taille, elle optimise bien l'espace pour un seul câble avec boitier convertisseur. Elle est également très hermétique, assurant une protection efficace contre les intempéries. Un excellent produit pour sécuriser les connexions électriques en extérieur.

Die Box ist Wasserdicht und robust.
