Integrated Cable Management

  • Built-in AC/MC Clamps - Eliminates need for separate cable connectors, reducing installation time and material costs
  • 2-Cable Capacity - Accommodates multiple cable runs for complex circuit configurations
  • 1/2" Trade Size Opening - Standard sizing ensures compatibility with common armored cable and metal clad cable
  • Secure Cable Retention - Integrated clamps provide reliable strain relief and code-compliant connections

Installation Flexibility

  • Gangable Design - Multiple boxes can be ganged together for multi-device installations
  • 2-3/4" Width - Standard dimensions fit conventional wall framing and electrical rough-in requirements
  • NEC/CEC Compliant - Meets all applicable electrical codes for ordinary location installations

Technical Specifications

This switch box features 1/2" trade size cable entries with integrated AC/MC clamps for 2-cable capacity. The steel construction provides 14.0 cubic inches of wire fill capacity in a compact 2-3/4" width x 3" height x 2" depth profile. Mounting ears facilitate secure installation, while the gangable design allows multiple units to be combined for larger device configurations. The box is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards for commercial electrical installations.

Installation Process

  1. Position box at desired location and mark mounting holes using integrated ears as template
  2. Secure box to wall framing using appropriate fasteners for mounting surface
  3. Insert AC or MC cable through 1/2" opening and engage integrated cable clamp
  4. Tighten clamp screws to secure cable and provide proper strain relief
  5. Route conductors within box, maintaining proper wire fill ratios per NEC requirements
  6. Install electrical devices and complete circuit connections according to local codes

Applications

Perfect for:

  • Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail spaces, and professional facilities
  • Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and processing centers
  • Institutional Projects - Schools, hospitals, and government buildings
  • Multi-Family Housing - Apartment buildings and condominium developments
  • Switch and Outlet Installation - Standard and specialty electrical devices
  • Control System Mounting - Low-voltage controls and automation devices
  • Renovation Projects - Electrical system upgrades and expansions
  • New Construction - Commercial and industrial electrical rough-in work

Steel Switch Box System Benefits

Steel switch boxes provide superior strength and durability compared to plastic alternatives, making them ideal for commercial and industrial applications where impact resistance and long-term reliability are critical. The integrated AC/MC cable clamps eliminate the need for separate connectors, reducing material costs and installation time while ensuring code-compliant cable connections. The gangable design offers maximum flexibility for complex device layouts and multi-gang installations.

Why Choose Integrated AC/MC Clamps?

The built-in AC/MC cable clamps represent a significant advantage over standard knockout boxes, providing secure cable retention and strain relief without additional fittings. This integrated approach reduces installation time, eliminates potential connection points for failure, and ensures consistent code compliance across the installation. The 2-cable capacity accommodates feed-through wiring and multiple circuit configurations common in commercial electrical systems.
