Actually that is just what I need for a lighting box job with three lutron controls, oh hang on that wont work as the box has to have 20mm holes drilled to admit the lutron controls. Damn so close.
 
I think that enclosure will certainly have its uses. Much better than the annoyingly fiddly normal sized Wago boxes. I shall be buying half a dozen for the odd occasion here and there.

Thanks for the link Lee.
 
I am cynical Lee, what is the need for placing these connectors in their own compartments aside from neatness which you only see when you access it. Mind you they are cheap :D

That's exactly the same in many respects as keeping the inside of a CU neat. Obviously keeping the inside of a CU neat usually helps for testing etc in the future. If you were looking for a fault in that wago XL, it is much nicer to see what's going where with the cables neatly compartmented. Yes I did invent that last word (I think!)

Someone gave me a chocolate teapot once saying it would be useful.
 
I think it's a better concept than the small Wagobox in that you don't have to aim the cables directly at the terminals. You can snake from one side to the other to get some flexibility, avoid tension on the terminals, manoeuvre things into place better and leave service loops. I will probably get a few for interest's sake but seeing as I only normally get tools out to work pyro or steel conduit, I don't often use any sort of plastic junction box.

On the rare occasions my work isn't metalclad, I wire my junction boxes continental style which I find much more versatile and easier to maintain. They don't incorporate cable clamps as they are usually used with conduited cables, but one can easily fit glands through the knockouts for FP etc. You don't get a natty MF logo but you do get to see Wagos in their natural habitat. See Abzweigdose, Verbindungsdose, Verteilerdose verdrahten - Elektricks.com - http://elektricks.com/abzweigdose-verbindungsdose-verteilerdose-verdrahten/
 
The "natty" MF logo is nothing more than sales tactic, what realistically is the difference between the enclosures you demonstrate than the Wago ones, none.
