Why choose it

This distribution board offers a robust IP44-rated enclosure that protects network equipment from dust and splashing water, making it suitable for basements, utility rooms, or covered outdoor areas. The transparent door allows quick visual inspection of indicator LEDs without opening the cabinet, while the integrated cable routing channels keep installations tidy and professional. Its surface-mounted design simplifies retrofitting in existing buildings where flush mounting is impractical.

Ideal use cases

• Residential network distribution for internet, TV, and telephone
• Small office or retail structured cabling hubs
• Installations requiring IP44 protection in damp or dusty environments
• Retrofit projects where surface mounting is preferred

It accommodates standard 19-inch patch panels up to 3U in height, and the included mounting plate provides flexibility for various active components such as switches or routers. All necessary mounting hardware and brackets are included for straightforward installation.
