Link box with removable cable entry seals

A link box, comprising:

• a housing that defines an enclosure;
• an electrical connector mounted to the housing within the enclosure;
• an aperture formed through a wall of the housing;
• and
• a cable entry seal having a passageway extending through a length thereof and configured to receive a cable inserted into the housing for connection to the electrical connector, the cable entry seal comprising:
• a first part comprising a flange and an internally-threaded portion that extends outwardly from the flange, wherein the internally-threaded portion is inserted through the aperture from within the enclosure such that the flange abuts an internal surface of the wall;
• a second part comprising an externally-threaded body and a heat-shrinkable tube connected to the externally-threaded body, wherein the externally-threaded body is configured to threadingly engage with the internally-threaded portion such that the cable entry seal is secured to the wall, and wherein the heat-shrinkable tube is configured to, upon an application of heat, shrink around and seal the cable received in the passageway;
• and
• a seal element configured to provide a water tight connection between the first and second parts.

A link box, comprising:

• a housing comprising a plurality of walls that define an enclosure;
• a plurality of electrical connectors mounted to the housing within the enclosure;
• a plurality of apertures formed through a wall of the enclosure in adjacent, spaced-apart relationship;
• and
• a respective plurality of cable entry seals, each cable entry seal mounted to a respective aperture, each cable entry seal having a passageway extending through a length thereof and configured to receive a respective cable inserted into the housing for connection to a respective electrical connector, each cable entry seal comprising:
• a first part comprising a flange and an externally-threaded portion that extends outwardly from the flange, wherein the externally-threaded portion is inserted through the respective aperture from within the enclosure such that the flange abuts an internal surface of the wall;
• a second part comprising an internally-threaded body and a heat-shrinkable tube extending outwardly from the internally-threaded body, wherein the internally-threaded body is threadingly engaged with the externally-threaded portion such that the cable entry seal is secured to the wall, and wherein the heat-shrinkable tube is configured to, upon an application of heat, shrink around and seal a cable received in the passageway;
• and
• a seal element configured to provide a water tight connection between the first and second parts, wherein the seal element is disposed around a section of the externally-threaded portion of the first part or located within the internally-threaded body.
