Steel Outlet Box System Benefits

Steel outlet boxes provide superior mechanical strength compared to plastic alternatives, making them ideal for commercial and industrial applications where durability is critical. The welded construction eliminates weak points found in stamped boxes, while the steel material provides excellent grounding continuity and electromagnetic shielding. Integrated AC/MC clamps eliminate the need for separate cable connectors, reducing installation time and ensuring secure cable terminations that meet code requirements.

Why Choose Integrated AC/MC Clamps?

The integrated AC/MC cable clamps in this Eaton Crouse-Hinds outlet box provide significant installation advantages over traditional knockout-and-connector methods. These built-in clamps ensure proper cable support and strain relief while eliminating the need to stock separate cable connectors. The result is faster installations, reduced material costs, and consistent code-compliant cable terminations that electrical professionals can trust for long-term reliability.
