   That’s great – Will come in very handy for those projects exposed to the outdoors (I have ideas about a camera project I’ve been kicking around). Will you be carrying cable glands in the appropriate size for getting the cables in and out of enclosures in a water-resistant manner as well?

   Cool, are these truely waterproof, or more weather/moisture proof? If they are waterproof whats the depth rating they are waterfroof to, will they surivive a trip to 200feet of sea water?

   Looking in the parts bin, I have some that I got a while back for sealing up coax feeds into some outdoor balun boxes. Digikey part number 377-1631-ND has been keeping them nice and dry through more than two years of exposure:

   Any chance of getting bulkhead connectors to match?

    These look exactly like the ones I got from Cool Neon after a suggestion from the AdaFruit Forums. (http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=25033)

    I used them heavily for Logo Glowego, the LED sculpture project I did with 12m of your digital LED strip. They stood up to nearly a week in the east Maui rain/winds. I will recommend them highly… although it would probably be good to get some of waterproof heatshrink tubing to go with these. I found outdoor phone wire works quite well for the longer runs.

    @adafruit, I know what the product name is that’s obvious, but what’s the name of the connector?

    @mike, there isn’t a specific name that we’ve seen, other than “4 pin” or “4 wire”.

    @adafruit Did you consider selling this as a male to female cable rather then male and female to pigtails. You could then always make a short male and a long female or use these as extensions without having to solder them back together. The cable would have been more useful that way.
