The OBO Bettermann A 6 is a cable branch box for use in recessed and hollow wall installations. It serves as a distribution point for electrical wiring and enables safe and orderly branching of cables indoors. The box is finished in light grey (RAL 7035) and features a protection rating of IP55, protecting it against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for use in damp environments such as bathrooms or kitchens. The rated voltage is 690 V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the field of power engineering. The maximum rated cross-section of the conductors that can be processed is 2.5 mm².

Applications

The A 6 is designed for use in residential and commercial buildings, particularly in areas where high mechanical and weather-related stress resistance is required. It is suitable for installation in hollow walls, concrete, or recessed constructions. The IP55 protection rating ensures sufficient protection against water and dust, allowing the box to be used outdoors or in damp indoor areas, provided the mounting conditions are met.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable branch box features a total of 6 cable entries for cables with a diameter of 5 to 14 mm. Additionally, there are 4 cable entries for cables with a diameter of 5 to 9 mm. These diverse entry options allow for flexible adaptation to different cable diameters and installation situations. The box is equipped with a clamp cover, enabling secure and quick installation of the conductors. The internal clear dimensions are 69 mm (length) × 32 mm (width) × 30 mm (height), providing sufficient space for routing and connecting multiple conductors.

Technology Explained Simply

The protection rating IP55 means that the box is dust-tight and protected against splashing water from any direction. This makes it particularly suitable for damp environments. The rated voltage of 690 V covers most applications in the field of electrical installation, including industrial and commercial facilities. The rated cross-section of 2.5 mm² is sufficient for most standard conductors in residential and commercial construction. The external dimensions of the box are 80 mm (length) × 43 mm (width) × 36 mm (height), with internal clear dimensions of 69 mm × 32 mm × 30 mm. The material thickness and construction ensure high mechanical stability.

Compatibility and Accessories

Various accessories are available for the cable branch box A 6 to facilitate installation. These include, for example, the branch box ABZK 01 with dimensions 75x37x40 mm and protection rating IP54, as well as the Mini 25-L connection box with dimensions 43x89x37 mm and protection rating IP55. These components can be used additionally depending on requirements to realize complex connections or additional branch points.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is carried out in hollow walls, concrete, or recessed constructions. The dimensions of the box are designed to fit standard installation slots. The product is delivered in packs of 10 boxes, with 1 cutting tool included per 10 boxes. This tool facilitates precise execution of mounting openings in the building component.

Operational Advantages

The A 6 offers a robust and reliable solution for cable branching. The IP55 protection rating ensures high safety in damp environments. The diverse entry options and clamp cover enable quick and secure installation. The dimensions and design are tailored to the requirements of modern electrical installation, ensuring efficient and orderly routing of conductors. The light grey colour (RAL 7035) blends well with most construction site and interior designs.
