The American style cable distribution box is a cable engineering equipment widely used in the cable distribution network system in North America. It is mainly characterized by one-way door opening and horizontal multi-channel busbar, and has significant advantages such as small width, flexible combination, full insulation, and full sealing. According to the rated current, it can generally be divided into two types: 600A main circuit and 200A branch circuit. The 600A main circuit adopts a screw in bolt fixed connection; The 200A branch circuit adopts a plug-in connection and can be plugged and unplugged with load.
