The present invention refers to an arrangement (1) comprising at least a box (2) for housing in its interior (3) at least one electronic circuit (32) that is connected or connectable to at least one cable (4), a cable gland (6) that is removable connected to the box (2) by means of a locking mechanism (22, 28) to surround the cable (4) before entering the box (2), and a blind plug (8), wherein the box (2) comprises a first wall (10) with a first opening (12) therein through which the cable (4) can enter or enters the interior (3) of the box (2), and the cable gland (6) is arranged outside the interior (3) in line with the first opening (4). The box (2) comprises a second wall (11) with a second opening (13) therein, the second wall (11) being perpendicular to the first wall (10). Furthermore, the arrangement (1) is configured in that the cable gland (6) can alternatively be connected to the box (2) in line with the second opening (13) by means of a locking mechanism (22, 28) to let the cable (4) enter the interior (3) via the second opening (13), wherein the second opening (13) is closed by the blind plug (8) when unused. Thus, a 90° adjustable cable gland (6) is realized enabling selecting the direction of the cable gland (6) and the entry of the cable (4) into the box (2) according to the needs.
