Product Description
IPBOX-GREY-80X50 — an IP55-rated ABS enclosure sized for a single cable joint, not a multi-way distribution panel. Useful on install sheets where you need to spec containment for an external camera drop or a mid-run connector.
Key specs
- Ingress protection: IP55 — protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.
- Material: ABS plastic — non-conductive, won't corrode, tolerates outdoor temperature cycling.
- Dimensions: 80 × 50 mm — footprint for one power/video or PoE joint, not a panel of connectors.
- Environment: rated for indoor and outdoor use.
- Fixing: surface-mountable enclosure, wall or similar flat surface.
On the job
Typical use is closing off a camera's cable joint where it leaves a wall or eave, housing a single BNC/power splice or an RJ45 coupler outdoors, or tidying a small electrical junction where a full back box won't fit. IP55 covers dust and spray — it is not a submersion-rated enclosure, so don't specify it for anything that could sit in standing water.
For multi-camera distribution or larger PoE switch/injector housings you'll want a bigger box; this one is scoped to a single joint per unit. Grey ABS shell, unbranded/generic MPN — treat as a consumable enclosure rather than a system component tied to a specific camera range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the IP55 rating actually protect against on this box?
IP55 means protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction — suitable for outdoor cable joints but not for submersion.
How many cable joints will fit in the 80 x 50mm enclosure?
The footprint is sized for a single cable joint or connector pair, not a multi-camera distribution panel.
Can this box be used both indoors and outdoors?
Yes, the IP55-rated ABS housing is suitable for both indoor and outdoor CCTV and electrical wiring installations.
Is the ABS housing suitable for outdoor temperature changes?
ABS plastic doesn't corrode and generally copes with outdoor temperature swings, making it a common choice for external junction enclosures.
