Shop surface-mount network boxes and modular mounting blocks for adding data outlets where recessed wall boxes are unavailable or unnecessary. Wallco offers single- and multi-port housings for compatible keystone jacks and structured-cabling connections.
Compare boxes by port count, jack compatibility, cable-entry configuration, mounting dimensions, color and installation requirements.
Surface-mount network boxes provide connection points for data cabling without requiring a recessed electrical or low-voltage wall box. They are useful on finished walls, furniture, equipment surfaces and other locations where accessible surface mounting is preferred.
Single-port boxes provide a compact enclosure for one compatible network or communications jack. They can be useful for individual workstation drops, equipment connections and other locations requiring one dedicated outlet.
Multi-port surface boxes support two or more modular connections in one enclosure. They can combine compatible network and communications services while reducing the number of separate housings required at an outlet location.
Many surface boxes accept standard keystone-format modules, while other mounting blocks may include or require a particular jack design. Verify the mounting opening and jack format before combining components from different product families.
Surface boxes may provide rear or side cable-entry paths for routing bulk network cable into the enclosure. Plan the cable approach and available bend radius so the terminated cable is not sharply bent or compressed behind the jack.
Determine the required number of ports and jack format, then compare box dimensions, cable-entry options, color and mounting method. Confirm that the enclosure provides enough internal space for the selected cable and termination hardware.
