Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N237-001-SH is a shielded surface-mount junction box for directly terminating and connecting two Cat5e or Cat6 solid-conductor cables. It uses standard 110 punchdown termination and is designed for Ethernet, voice, and audio/video cabling installations.
Technical Information
The junction box uses 110 IDC punchdown connections with color-coded terminals for 568A/B wiring. Its shielded construction helps protect network signals against EMI/RFI line noise, and a dedicated grounding area is provided on the punchdown block. The housing is made from ABS UL 94V-0 plastic.
Compatibility
- Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 cabling
- Solid-conductor cable
- Standard 110 punchdown termination
- EIA/TIA 568A and 568B wiring configurations
- Surface-mount Ethernet, voice, and audio/video installations
Key Features
- Shielded construction for EMI/RFI noise protection
- 110 IDC punchdown termination
- Color-coded 568A/B wiring positions
- Dedicated grounding space on the punchdown block
- ABS UL 94V-0 plastic housing
Applications
The N237-001-SH can be used for extending or terminating structured cabling in home, office, networking, voice, and audio/video installations. Its surface-mount design is suitable where a compact junction point is required without installing a recessed wall box.
DC Supplies Product Note
The manufacturer recommends this junction box for solid-conductor cable. Because the model is shielded and includes a dedicated grounding area, the installation should account for the grounding requirements of the shielded cabling system.
