Leviton 49605-28E – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Leviton 49605-28E used for in a structured wiring job?
The 49605-28E is a 28-inch wall-mount media enclosure that acts as the central termination point for low-voltage systems in a house or light-commercial space. Voice, data, video and audio distribution gear goes inside it, so all the incoming and outgoing cable runs land in one serviceable location instead of being scattered through the building. Typical uses are new-construction and remodel structured wiring, whole-home AV distribution, and housing a home network or telecom panel.
2) Is the Leviton 49605-28E a recessed in-wall enclosure or does it mount on the surface of the wall?
It installs into a wall cavity. The 49605-28E is built as a wall-mount media enclosure that sits in the framing so the cabling stays concealed and you get a flush access point. If your application calls for a box that bolts to the face of a finished wall instead, that is a different product type: the Rittal WM Series one-door wall mount enclosure or the ABB Formula A2ENCL250 Series surface-mount enclosure are surface-mounted designs.
3) The enclosure is going somewhere damp or outdoors. Does the Leviton 49605-28E work, or do I need something else?
The Leviton 49605-28E is an interior wall-cavity media enclosure for residential and light-commercial structured wiring, intended to sit inside conditioned wall space. For locations exposed to weather or washdown, choose a rated box instead: the Rittal WM Series one-door wall mount enclosure is NEMA 3R carbon steel, the ABB Q-Line 225A enclosure is also NEMA 3R, the Rittal 1338000 AX compact control cabinet is IP66/NEMA 12, and the Square D EM3570ENC enclosure for PowerLogic EM357x meters is NEMA 4X. Pick the rating that matches the exposure at the mounting location.
4) What should I use instead of the Leviton 49605-28E if the low-voltage gear has to mount on the surface of a finished wall rather than in a stud cavity?
The Leviton 49605-28E is a wall-mount media enclosure that installs into a wall cavity, so it needs an open stud bay or a cut-in opening. Where the wall is finished and cannot be opened, a surface-mounted box is the better fit: the Rittal 1034250-11 is a single-door wall-mounted enclosure in carbon steel, and the ABB Formula A2ENCL250 series is a surface-mount electrical enclosure. Both hang on the wall face instead of recessing into it, which changes the look of the install but avoids cutting drywall.
5) Is a Rittal FlatBox a substitute for a Leviton 28-inch media enclosure?
They serve different mounting conventions. The Leviton 49605-28E is a structured media enclosure sized to hold patch panels, splitters and low-voltage distribution hardware for voice, data, video and audio. The Rittal 7507110 FlatBox is a 19-inch 9U wall-mount enclosure in carbon steel, so it is built around rack-unit equipment on 19-inch rails. If the gear being installed is rack-mount network hardware, the FlatBox matches the mounting pattern; if it is Leviton structured wiring modules, the 49605-28E is the enclosure those accessories are designed to drop into.
6) I need to rack 19-inch network gear on a wall, not terminate house wiring. Is a media enclosure the right choice?
Not really. The Leviton 49605-28E is laid out for low-voltage structured wiring components behind a flush wall access point, not for rack-mount equipment. If you need actual rack units, the Rittal 7507110 FlatBox is a 19-inch 9U wall-mount enclosure in carbon steel and is the right type for mounting rack gear on a wall.
7) Can I put breakers or line-voltage distribution gear in the Leviton 49605-28E?
No. The 49605-28E is purpose-built as a structured media enclosure and serves as the backbone connection point for low-voltage cable runs - network, telecom and entertainment distribution. Line-voltage distribution equipment belongs in an enclosure built for it, such as the ABB Q-Line NEMA 3R 225A enclosure, or a control cabinet like the Rittal 1338000 AX in carbon steel for industrial control gear. Keep the low-voltage hub and the power distribution in separate enclosures.
8) I only need to house a single metering device, not a whole structured wiring load-out. Is the Leviton 49605-28E overkill?
Likely yes for that use. The 49605-28E is sized at 28 inches to house a full structured wiring load-out with room for patch panels, splitters and low-voltage distribution hardware. For a single dedicated device, a purpose-matched box is tighter: the Square D EM3570ENC is a NEMA 4X enclosure made for PowerLogic EM357x meters. The Leviton enclosure makes sense when multiple voice, data, video and audio components need to land in one serviceable location.
9) What is the exact Leviton part number to order for the 28-inch media enclosure?
Order Leviton 49605-28E. That is the manufacturer part number for the 28-inch size in the 49605 wall-mount media enclosure series, and it is the number to quote when matching accessories or adding enclosures to an existing job.
10) We standardize on steel industrial enclosures across our facilities. How does the Leviton 49605-28E fit that?
The 49605-28E is the low-voltage end of that standard rather than a replacement for it. It is a 28-inch wall-cavity media enclosure that consolidates incoming and outgoing low-voltage runs at one access point, and it is matched to Leviton's structured wiring accessories and modules. Carbon steel industrial boxes such as the Rittal WM Series one-door wall mount, the Rittal 1034250-11 WM single-door wall-mounted enclosure, and the Rittal 1338000 AX compact control cabinet cover control and power applications. A common approach is the Leviton enclosure at telecom and data hubs and the steel cabinets where equipment is rated for harsher or industrial locations.
