Solar connector suggestions ?

Hi there.
I was wondering about a smart/clever way to connect a small solar panel antenna to the control box i use. I want to separate the two components, being able to plug and unplug the solar panel whenever i want (as a matter of fact, keeping the antenna/solar panel set, but being able to take the control box to improve the hardware/software within it)

Hence, the cable coming from the solar panel is going out from the bottom of the antenna, and should be plug to a connector right onto the control box...

I thought about using BNC, MC4...no choice made yet

Any suggestion maybe ?

I don't know what exactly you are talking about because I don't have any idea what a solar panel antenna is.

But for outdoor power- and sensor connections I have best experiences with these plugs

Sorry for my approximative vocabulary. I meant the pole i planned to use to hold the solar panel higher than the box itself (3m because of vegetable garden)
Your advice was the exact kind of plug i was looking for, Thanks.
