Wall Boxes

A wall box is a secure electrical box or enclosure that is mounted onto a wall. Also known as wall enclosures, they feature a door or lid for access. Some wall-mounted enclosures are lockable for security. With a wide range of IP ratings, the enclosures are suitable for outdoor and indoor use and can withstand high impacts. For installations that need extra impact protection, check the IK impact rating alongside the IP rating before you order.

Wall boxes come in a range of dimensions, materials, IP ratings and lock types, so compare these attributes when choosing a box. There is a wall-mounted enclosure and accessory to suit your needs. RS Singapore offers wall boxes and electrical enclosures online, sourced from reputable suppliers such as Rittal, Schneider Electric, and Hammond, among many others. Orders on locally stocked items qualify for next working day delivery across Singapore.

Benefits of Wall-Mount Boxes

• Floor Space Efficiency: Wall-mount installation frees up floor space, enhancing ergonomics and allowing for the allocation of more boxes and cabinets in a single room. This makes them ideal for small spaces like offices.
• Ease of Assembly and Setup: These cabinets can be assembled and set up quickly by just two technicians. They come equipped with necessary tech holes for cable routing, ventilation, and maintenance, facilitating straightforward IT system installations.
• Mounting Capabilities: Each cabinet includes high-load dowels for secure fastening, important for calculating the weight capacity to ensure the safety and durability of the equipment stored.
• Protection of Hardware: Constructed from durable metal sheets, wall-mount boxes protect devices from environmental factors like dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations, as well as potential physical damages. Equipment is securely fastened to prevent sliding.
• Overheating Prevention: Wall-mount racks are available as open-frame or enclosed. Open-frame models promote cooling through their structure, and additional ventilation options like fans help maintain optimal airflow to prevent overheating of servers.

Application of Wall-Mount Boxes

• Electrical: Wall-mounted enclosures are frequently used to secure access to delicate or potentially dangerous electrical systems such as fuse boxes or power inlets. They are essential for keeping electrical setups protected from environmental factors like moisture, ensuring safety and functionality. Typically, high IP-rated wall-mount boxes equipped with suitable locks are used for this purpose.
• Control Panels and Automation: Control-panel builders and automation contractors house control and switching components, such as isolators and switch disconnectors, in wall boxes and other electrical enclosures, with a suitable IP rating protecting them from dust and moisture.
• ELV Installations: Fire alarm, CCTV, access control and network equipment is commonly housed in wall boxes, with lockable doors limiting access and cable glands sealing each cable entry to keep the installation tidy.
• General Purpose Wall Boxes: For secure outdoor or indoor storage, wall boxes are lockable, providing storage for important or potentially hazardous items. Available in various materials such as stainless steel, steel, polyester, plastic, ABS, thermoplastic, aluminium, and other metals, their robust construction offers a high level of security, with options for locking.
• Marine Environments Wall Boxes: IP67 wall-mounted enclosures are designed to withstand hose-down environments and some marine applications. These enclosures are constructed from materials that ensure protection and feature seals for the base and lid or door, and they can be locked for added security.
• Transparent Doors for Wall Boxes: Wall-mounted enclosures often come in ranges with transparent doors. Although this may lower the impact resilience of the box, it allows for easy visibility of the contents within the storage box.
