Clipsal by Schneider Electric has launched the 157MDF Deep Fire-Rated Wall Box to meet today’s electricians’ growing needs.

The 157MDF is designed to provide optimal protection and support for new emerging technology that has outgrown traditional models. With a depth of 70mm, the wall box can safely house these modular devices such as Iconic and Clipsal Wiser Smart Home.

“At Clipsal, we are actively committed to making the lives of electricians easier and safer, which is why we are continuously innovating our products,” Clipsal by Schneider Electric vice president of home & distribution Chris Kerr says.

“We innovate across the spectrum of our product range and our new wall box is our latest development.”

For faster and more efficient installation, the wall box features a new earthing terminal that is compliant with AS/NZS 3.7.11. It also offers 120-minute integrity and 90-minute insulation fire ratings, providing Australian electricians with peace of mind at installation.

The product also boasts acoustic rated up to STC50, 11mm intumescent material and a solid surround for easy application of mastic.

“The launch of this latest Wall Box to Clipsal’s portfolio is another example of how Schneider is supporting electricians to prepare for an industry of the future,” Chris says.

The product is now available to electricians Australia-wide and can be purchased from your nearest electrical wholesaler.
