B-LINE 128 TCS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 128 TCS telephone termination cabinet be used outdoors or in a wet area?
No. The 128 TCS is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor-only protection against falling dirt and incidental contact with the enclosed parts. It has no gasketing rating for rain, washdown, or dust. For an exterior wall, a loading dock, or anywhere subject to hose spray, you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated enclosure instead.
2) What size is the B-Line 128 TCS cabinet, and will it fit a small termination block?
The box measures 8 inches high, 8 inches deep on the length axis, and 5 inches wide, in 16 gauge steel. That is a small back box, sized for a single telephone termination block or a handful of electrical controls and instruments, not a multi-pair distribution field. Map your block footprint against 8 x 5 on the mounting face before committing.
3) Is the 128 TCS a surface mount or flush/recessed cabinet?
Surface mount. The 128 TCS hangs on the face of the wall rather than recessing into the stud cavity, so no wall opening or trim ring is needed. If your spec calls for a flush enclosure sitting level with the drywall, this is the wrong construction.
4) Does the Eaton B-Line 128 TCS carry any third-party certification for a Canadian job?
It is built to CSA C22.2, so it is acceptable where a CSA-certified enclosure is called for on Canadian work. Note that the protection level is still NEMA 1, indoor use only.
5) How heavy is the 128 TCS cabinet and what do I need to hang it?
At 2.5 lb, the 16 gauge steel box is light enough for one person to hold and fasten single-handed, and light enough that drywall anchors will carry it once populated with a termination block. Mounting fasteners are not part of the cabinet, so pick anchors to suit the wall substrate.
6) Can I use the 128 TCS for anything besides phone terminations?
Yes. Although it is catalogued as a Type 1 telephone termination cabinet, the application is housing electrical controls and instruments generally, so it works as a small indoor control or instrument enclosure, a low-voltage pull point, or a terminal block box. The limit is the interior volume: 8 x 8 x 5 inches.
7) What finish does the B-Line 128 TCS come in, and will it match other enclosures in an electrical room?
ANSI 61 gray painted steel. ANSI 61 is the standard gray used across most commercial panelboards, control enclosures, and junction boxes, so the 128 TCS reads consistently alongside existing gear in a telecom closet or electrical room without repainting.
8) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line utility cabinet?
Order it as B-Line 128 TCS. It is a single configuration, so there are no finish or size options to specify, ANSI 61 gray painted steel is what ships.
