Product Features
Technical Overview
The OR-404S21X1U mounting box features precise external dimensions of 2.42 inches in height, 4 inches in width, and 1.16 inches in depth, providing a low-profile enclosure that minimizes protrusion from the mounting surface. Its plastic construction ensures lightweight handling and resistance to corrosion, while the white finish matches common Ortronics components for a cohesive installation aesthetic.
This mounting box is designed specifically for surface-mount applications, supporting modular faceplates and low-voltage devices such as data, voice, or AV connections. The package includes #6-20*19 mm pan-head screws and double-sided adhesive tape, giving installers multiple secure attachment methods depending on the substrate material and load requirements.

Deployment / Use Cases
The OR-404S21X1U mounting box is optimized for surface-mount scenarios where in-wall installation isn't practical or permitted. Its design supports quick deployment in retrofit situations, temporary installations, or locations with concrete, brick, or other challenging wall constructions that prevent cavity mounting.
Common applications include mounting modular faceplates for data and voice connections in office environments, securing low-voltage devices in retail spaces, organizing AV equipment connections in conference rooms, and providing termination points for security or access control systems. The surface-mount approach makes it particularly valuable for leased spaces where permanent alterations are restricted or for installations requiring future reconfiguration without wall repair.
Office Retrofit Installations
Ideal for adding data and voice connections to existing walls without cutting drywall or disrupting finished surfaces.
Temporary or Modular Setups
Supports quick deployment in trade show booths, temporary offices, or modular furniture systems where permanent mounting isn't required.
Physical Profile
The mounting box presents a clean white plastic exterior that blends with standard Ortronics faceplates and trim. Its rectangular form factor with rounded edges provides a professional appearance while the shallow 1.16-inch depth minimizes visual bulk. The surface-mount design requires no internal cavity, making it suitable for installation on finished walls, panels, or furniture surfaces where a flush-mount box isn't feasible.
