Rated 5 out of 5 by from Five stars - literally Used this to wire up five phone extensions in a star formation from a BT master socket using Nexan 4-strand copper cable (sold by Screwfix). Easily took all six cables - good choice of knock-outs at top, bottom and both sides. Would have preferred screw locking for cover, rather than click to fit. Cable tie anchor points only at side knockouts, not at top and bottom, too, but that's a minor criticism. It did the job well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does what it says on the tin I had been looking for a reliable source of this type of junction box, as I may work often requires reworking old installs and these junction boxes will come in handy when reworking networks

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great little connector box small neat and easy to mount and connect cable in it. Multiple cable entries make it very flexible

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Lid doesn't fix well enough It replaced a rusted BT junction box with an intermittent fault. Enough space to make the connections simple and convenient, and keep wire runs where they need to be, BUT the lid does not clip on firmly enough. It just has weak tabs which keep popping off - needed some tape to hold in place. Disappointed - the tape makes it look like a bodge. It could do with a better fixing for the lid.

Connections

The picture doesn’t show the inside of the box. Are the terminals inside click or screw?
