So I saw some temporary cord drops in a big box store today.. the type with a flexible cord, strain relief and a metal box on the end. the boxes appeared to be 2-1/8" drawn but what caught my eye was that they had very few knockouts on them. I don't think one of the sides even had any and one side had just a single knockout. who makes these?
who makes this box...

Those are defined as cord pendants and check out Raco boxes. My internet is on turtle speed this morning.......must be due to the time change

Are you sure it wasn't an FSE or FSC "box"?

Yup! I'm sure other mfg's make similiar boxes like Appleton's. When I did temp lighting/power for outdoor events (raves & clubs) we found that 4 S boxes wouldn't hold up. So we used a version of that Appleton. There made of the malleable iron and really tough. Although there ain't much room for makeup. They are code in some jurisdictions for long duration temp use and stage/film/concert power breakouts. Last time I saw them was at a Cirque Du Soleil show!

Add a "D" to the end of the part description, and you get more room.innergee said:
