Actually I used RG-58, ended up with about 150 feet to bring 2 watts to
400ma. Soon as I get the connectors I will try it and see what it does and
let you know what the outcome is. Had a lot of techs tell me they never put
the cable in a box and it worked just fine for them. But then each setup is
different.

How about this ? depending on the size of this coiled coax assembly I would
put it in the metal box as Jim mentioned and run a couple of barrel
connectors, thru the wall of the box, solder the barrel connector to the box
for RF tight seal, and seal the box itself.
