Steel Switch Box System Benefits
Steel electrical boxes provide superior strength and durability compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding applications. The rigid construction prevents box deformation during device installation and provides excellent grounding continuity for electrical safety. Steel boxes also offer better fire resistance and maintain structural integrity under temperature variations.
Why Choose Integrated AC/MC Clamps?
The integrated cable clamp system eliminates the need for separate cable connectors, reducing material costs and installation time while ensuring secure armored cable termination. This professional-grade approach provides superior strain relief and maintains proper cable support per NEC requirements, making it the preferred choice for electrical contractors working with armored cable systems.
