I'd prefer using some sort of water resistant enclosure designed specifically for the purpose but have never have come across anything suitable, even plastic tool boxes have always been too big.

Modification involved only cutting in the required cable entry & exit holes with a sharp knife and adding a couple of rubber grommets for a tight seal ... pics are below for anyone that may be interested.
I went the cheapo route, I got a plastic pail from the dollar store and put a small eye bolt through the center of the bottom, eye to the inside. A very short bungee cord suspends the connection up inside the inverted pail and well clear of the ground. When I'm packing up, the cord gets coiled inside the pail till next time. Double duty.
