Versatile in-line junction box family saves electrical installers time and money

Hylec-APL this year celebrates ten years since its innovative Debox cable junction box series launched. Now extending to five models, to address different application use cases, the versatile in-line junction box family’s registered design offers faster, more efficient and cheaper installation through its simple and virtually tool-free use.

Re-imagined and designed to speed up every installation, the original Debox S is a cost-effective, innovative all-in-one cable junction box. Complete with four-pole 24A UL/VDE-approved terminal block as standard, Debox S conforms to EN60598-1 (GWT 650C). Pre-fitted with external fixing lugs for fast, easy mounting, Debox S comes complete with everything required – including in-built cable clamps and locking clip – for rapid, simple and virtually tool-free installation.

Debox SL introduced the first ever completely tool-free in-line electrical junction box. It offers a new easier-to-use, double lever screwless terminal block, providing maintenance-free connections. It is safe, fast and reliable 100% tool-free assembly is supplied complete with four-pole 16A connector block, capable of accommodating two, three or four conductors in round or flat profile cable for lighting circuits or power.

Debox SL2 is the smallest junction box available with five poles. Each individual 32A screwless lever connector can take up to three conductors and the box features unique push-fit cable clamps. It saves valuable time and makes installation easier for smaller and larger internal wiring jobs, as everything required is supplied with the box and there is no necessity to use a screwdriver to securely join wires or mount the box itself.

Debox SM40 is the first four-pole in-line junction box that fits through a 40mm aperture, yet retains generous cable management space, making it ideal for use in LED lighting applications. As with all these junction boxes, it comes ready for use, supplied with everything required, including the terminal block, making connection simpler and easier. This junction box is only half the volume of Debox S or SL, making it the most compact four-pole junction box available.

Debox 11 is a highly versatile surface-mounted junction box for external weatherproof applications. It comes with ten soft membrane-covered cable entries, providing quick puncture-entry and self-sealing rated to IP66. Eight entries are threaded M20, excellent for cable glands, with no necessity for an internal locknut, delivering an even higher protection rating to IP67. Five three-pole screwless connectors are provided, and the housing is made of flame retardant, impact-resistant polypropylene.
