Wait why does the box need to be closed?

To avoid the collection of cables growing?

So, don't leave male and female cables alone in a dark box!

Less degradation of the plastic maybe? Idk

I think so. Keeps the insulation from dry rotting.

Keeping it closed also means that you don't have to breathe it in (and prevents dust from getting in).

Get your hormone levels checked once in a while.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 10 months ago

hormones? Yeah he do :)

So that the cables don't get covered in humid air and dust which sticks to them and forms a grime (with bonus added chemicals from the plastics).
