Does anyone know of a cavity wall light switch backbox, that houses possibly or hopefully at least 6 loop in terminals.

standard dry lining box. can't understand what you mean. a partition wall can be solid brick or concrete
 
Sorry for confusion, but what I mean is a wall built up with wooden battens and plaster board nailed to the battens, thus giving you a cavity behind the wall. Afraid I don't know the correct name for this type of wall since I have not worked in the construction industry.

thats a stud wall btw, and as said 47mm dry lining box will give you loads of room
 
and use wagos for all the connections that don't terminate in the switch itself. simplesss.
 
Are those wagos any good? Haven't had the pleasure yet! In tight spaces I'm a bit of a fan of crimping in the back of the box!
