The pre-equipped ATEX junction boxes for the power supply of hazardous area lighting in ATEX – all new B2X junction boxes meet all safety criteria

Two versions are available: reinforced cable (metal) or unarmed cable (glass-fibre reinforced polyester).  About thirty configurations are available. This product is also available in a socket box.

Technor B2X GRP is a hazardous area junction box which offers Ex-e IIC mode of protection and is suitable for use in hazardous areas, offshore applications and extreme site conditions.

How does the product guarantee your safety?

The B2X enclosure is made of GRP: this solid material allows the product to withstand harsh environments – Ex e housing made of GRP.

In addition, it is certified to IP66/IP67, which means that it is dustproof and resistant to strong water jets as well as temporary immersion to a depth of one meter.

Finally, it can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C.

In which environment can they be used?
