Product Description
A junction box is a small enclosure that covers the point where two cables are joined, so the joint isn't left bare. The IP55 Junction Box 50x50mm | Waterproof CCTV Enclosure (SKU IPBOX-GREY-50X50) is made from ABS plastic and is intended for CCTV installations both indoors and outdoors.
What IP55 means in practice
IP is an ingress protection rating. The first 5 means dust is largely kept out; the second 5 means the box is protected against jets of water. That suits a camera cable joint on an external wall or under an eave. It is a rain-and-splash rating, not one for sitting under water.
Before you buy
- Size: the box is 50x50mm. Measure the connector, terminal block or cable joint you want to cover and compare it with that size before ordering.
- Where it goes: a camera cable joint, or a join part-way along a run that you want kept covered.
- Material: ABS plastic, a rigid, lightweight plastic that doesn't conduct electricity.
- Fixing: decide how you'll attach it to your wall or surface before you start the job.
If you're unsure whether a particular connector will suit a box this size, a quick measurement now saves a return later.
