Q5 Series Plastic Distribution Box
Flush-Mount & Surface-Mount Lighting Distribution Enclosures for Modern Interiors
What Makes Q5 Different
The Q5 isn't just another plastic box. It's the invisible backbone of residential and commercial electrical systems - designed to disappear into walls while keeping circuits organized, accessible, and safe.
Two installation philosophies. One reliable platform.

Details That Matter
The Transparent Door
UV-stabilized - won't yellow after 5 years
Impact-resistant - IK08 rating survives accidental knocks
Flame-retardant - UL94 V-2, self-extinguishing
Why it matters: Electricians can identify tripped breakers without opening the door. Homeowners can check status without touching live components
The ABS Body
No corrosion - ever. Unlike galvanized steel that rusts in humid bathrooms and kitchens.
No conductivity - safer for residential installations where grounding errors occur.
Lightweight - 60% lighter than metal equivalent. Easier to carry, faster to install
The Knock-Out Entries
20mm and 25mm diameters - standard for residential conduit
Clean break - no sharp edges, no cable damage
Flexible positioning - route cables from any direction
The DIN Rail
Zinc-plated, corrosion-resistant
Pre-drilled mounting holes on 25mm pitch
Accepts all standard MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs
