LF: breakout box

[OceanLandlord]

I built mine with the dim cable from eBay and a six outlet telephone jack box from Home Depot. Then used some extra alarm wire I had and put telephone jack ends on them after connecting to float switch. I got the idea from someone on daimiyos thread and I liked it better cause no soldering or drilling involved

Sorry for the stupid question but what is a breakout box. I'm trying to learn the new age stuff before I set up my next tank
