Connector protection
Wireworks
Guardian Panel Mounts: A simple steel recessing ring, the Guardian Panel Mount offers protection to connectors on a custom panel by easily recessing them out of harms' way. The mounts increase connector safety when used as recessed low-voltage mounting ring or when installed in NEMA-style surface-mount or flush-mounted electrical boxes. As a recessed low-voltage ring, a Guardian Panel Mount can be easily mounted directly into a wall or anywhere else by using mounting screws, fasteners or toggle bolts. A custom connector panel is then attached to the recessed flange, providing protected connectivity. When used in conjunction with an electrical box, the mount can be ordered in the exact box size for surface-mount installations. Alternatively, the panel mount can be ordered with a flange one inch larger than the electrical box for flush-mounted applications, effectively enabling the wide flange to cover any seam between the box and the surrounding wall.
