Box Question

[Alwayslearningelec]

Anyone know if there is a steel wall box for a 6 port IT device that could accept 2" conduit? Thanks

You’ll probably have to use a regular junction box and cut a hole in the cover where you can mount a modular plate.

Do you mean for a 6 port keystone wall plate? I'm pretty sure I saw boxes that have a 2" KO for that but that was a long time ago. The IT (I believe Bicsi) standards wanted huge stub ups into the ceiling space for only a few cables. Didn't think anybody was doing that anymore.

Yes there are. I beleive the dimensions are 3-1/4" x 4-11/16" that has 2in knockouts in them. Which will accept mudrings if going in a wall. I recently installed one for LV/AV system and i believe it was made by Raco.

If you're feeling ambitious, you can punch a hole in almost any box large enough.

Right you are Muddy.

What I have done in the past is use a Big O bracket and a 4x4x4 box and a 4" mudring and screw it all together.
