The M20 Inline Weatherproof Connector is a tubular power and signal interface featuring a straight barrel body with M20×1.5 threaded locking nuts at both ends. This straight-through coupler links two cable sections end-to-end while maintaining IP67/IP68 protection, serving as a reusable, field-terminable extension joint for outdoor and industrial applications.
