Advice Needed Weatherproof junction box (UK)

[s-band]

I've been trying to find a external box which has sealing slots for cable entry. i.e. the type that does not need the connector to be fitted after threading the cable through a gland. They seem to be quite common as utility boxes for CATV in the US e.g. DX Engineering DXE-UE-2P DX Engineering Utility Enclosure Kits | DX Engineering

Maybe I'm not using the right search terms but I haven't found any in the UK yet. Any ideas?

This might be what you’re looking for depending on what size of box you’re looking for.

I just use a Tupperware square storage bowl,(what ever size you need to use) you punch some holes in the side the same diameter as the coax, (coax coming in from the bottom) install your connectors and switch (or what ever) mount it, seal up the coax entry points with weather proof caulk and snap on the cover.

I have one such setup that has been in use for 17 years, it got painted the same color as the house.

Thanks all for the ideas. @SkyWatcher suggestion lead me to these:
_Masterplug Waterproof Outdoor Electric Socket Junction Box IP54 Garden Power | eBay

These were what I was looking for but are are a silly price when shipped to UK.
_Xfinity Comcast Outdoor House Box Weatherproof Enclosure Coaxial Cable PPC | eBay

I would never have thought of searching for 'demarcation enclosure' though! Mouser have them so I'll get a couple from there. I swap electronics at the dish quite often so these have the advantage that the connectors can be on the cables before installation.

I was going to suggest the type used for mains outdoor ( put 'Christmas decor lights' into the search) but you have found something similar already.
