5-way Neutrik powerCON True1 TOP distribution box made from LeGrand Plexo

In this video, I show how I built a 5-way Neutrik PowerCON True1 TOP distribution box. The box is from the LeGrand Plexo series, comes with an IP55 rating and has these dimensions:
105mm x 105mm x 55mm outside 
95mm x 95mm x ??mm inside

I used Wago clamps for connecting the wires with 1.5mm ferrules. The Neutrik sockets have been fixed with M3 screws and hex nuts to the case. On the terminals, I used insulated 1.5mm end sleeves.

The tools I needed: wire stripper, goose neck plier, ferrules crimper from Knipex; 3mm HSS-Cobalt drill and 30mm hole saw from Hilti; Wabeco drill stand with Bosch drill; two-pole voltage tester.

Corrections, improvements and clarifications to what I said in the video:
* The height of the junction box is actually 55m and not around 25mm (which makes sense, as the chassis connectors are already over 25mm)
* Use a 25mm hole saw for the smaller part of the duplex connector instead of a 30mm
* Try to place the connectors as high to the lip of the box as possible to facilitate the fixing of the hex nuts
* The blade connector layout for the duplex teminal is different from the other connectos. Keeps this in mind when connecting the wires
* LeGrand seems to be a French and not a Swiss company
