Shakespeare 4184 Watertite Marine Cable Outlet, Chrome Brass, for RG-8/AU, 8X, 58, 59, 213 Coax Cables
The Shakespeare 4184 Watertite Marine Cable Outlet is a chrome brass fitting designed to neatly pass coax cable through a boat's bulkhead while keeping water out. A rubber internal grommet grips the cable snugly as it passes through, sealing the opening against water intrusion so wiring stays protected in a wet, marine environment. The chrome-plated brass housing gives the outlet a clean, finished appearance wherever the cable enters the cabin or console.
This outlet is sized for RG-8/AU, RG-8X, RG-58, RG-59, and RG-213 coax cables, as well as Shakespeare LoMax coax cable, making it a fitting choice for antenna and communications cable runs on most recreational boats. It mounts through a bulkhead cutout and is a simple way to route an existing coax run without leaving a raw, unsealed hole in the hull or cabin wall. Because it is a passive mechanical fitting, no electrical wiring or special tools are required beyond a standard cutout and fastening hardware.
