POD Boxes & Consolidation Points
FAQs
POD boxes and consolidation points are intermediate connection points in structured cabling systems. They provide a flexible way to extend or redistribute network connections without running new cables all the way back to the patch panel. This makes them especially useful in open plan offices, classrooms, and flexible workspaces, where frequent layout changes are common.
EVO POD boxes are modular designs for easy configuration and upgrades.
L-bracket POD boxes are compact units mounted under desks or on walls for space saving installations.
LJ6C POD boxes are designed to house LJ6C modules, widely used for data and telecom outlets.
POD box kits are bundled sets with accessories for quick deployment.
Each type offers different mounting and configuration options depending on the project.
The benefits include:
- Flexibility, easy to move, reconfigure, or expand as desk layouts change.
- Reduced cabling due to fewer long runs back to the cabinet, saving time and cost.
- Neat installations keeps outlets accessible and cable management tidy.
- Future proofing, supports modular outlet types (RJ45, voice, data) for growing network needs.
Consider:
- Number of outlets required, choose based on how many users/devices will connect.
- Mounting location, like under desk, floor, or wall mounted options depending on the workspace.
- Module compatibility, like LJ6C POD boxes support industry standard modules, while EVO systems allow more modular setups.
- Scalability, POD box kits are ideal for rapid rollout, while consolidation points are best for larger or evolving networks.
