I know because it says so, printed on the cables
Stricly you don't need to put the solenoid in any box, as it's waterproof in itself. But you may do, to keep maintenance at a minimum.
This is how my winch and solenoids are fitted. The second solenoid is fitted behind one of the motors.

You can get the cable from vehicle wiring products and the connectors too, however the connectors need a big crimping tool which is expensive to buy. I'm lucky as my father in law has the crimping tool, so I just pop over to his workshop to use it.

I crimped my cables with a brake pipe flairing tool.

On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.
