They are rated for IP67 or IP68. http://www.phoenixcon.com/variosub/ Page only shows the RJ45, I couldn't find an way to get to the d-sub variants but they do exist, we use then in several products. They also have feedthrough connectors (female d-sub on both side of = panel). The only drawback (for hobbyist) is the square hole you need.=20 (well if you want to use the connector they are design for) An 9-pole d-sub kit (frame/connector) is around $10 in low quantities. /Tony -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
