A company I'm working with is developing an application the needs to connect power and data (standard 110V/60Hz and RS485 type data) on a flat exterior concrete pad.
We have connectors that we think will do the job (IP68 with power and data) but we are looking for a connection box that can be cast in place in the concrete for the pad side of the connection. It has to be flush with the concrete so there is no trip hazard when unplugged and have a cover (ditto). The cover can certainly be one that is removed and replaced as needed. Obviously it needs to prevent water entering the cable conduit, the receptacle we are looking at has a bulkhead seal option so some sort of divided box might suit. The climate includes freezing weather, the worst appears to be -31. I suspect the ground is more temperate than the air.
Oh and it should be less than 5" in size (it will be covered by the devices using it when in use).
We haven't found a good off the shelf item to do this and I'm wondering if anyone has found or built one for other projects.
We have found a possibly suitable connector but are open to suggestions on that as well.
