Another option in the extreme case is to build the transformer, solder
on an F-connector, add to leads of flexible wire on the Beverage side,
then after testing take a glob of Butyl which is common sealant in
Cable, Cell, and wireless installs and make a ball around the device.
Doesn't need go in a box as long as the tension on the connections are
mitigate somehow. Let the air take care of the moisture on the outside
as it will. It ain't pretty but it works just as well at a $20 box.
