Split double back box

[chronyx]

Is it permissible to install a single socket outlet one side, and network point the other? oliceman:



Thank you

Just ensure you maintain segregation between Band I and Band II cables. Take them in either side of the dual box and keep the metal bar in the middle.

Aslong as the cables dont enter through the same entry hole or single compartment, technically yes. As an earthed metallic screen is provided between the compartments. But personally id probably knock in two seperate single backboxes as you may have problems with induction

I thought it would be OK due to the proper segregation, but thank you for your quick and useful advice as always! Have a good one chaps

Thank you

No problem at all, the chances of any induction problems is going to be very slim. just maintain the segregation plate between the separate box compartments.... Your obviously not going to bring the two different system cables thru the same entry knockout , or into one compartment thru to the other, are you??..lol!!

No chance, I am treating them as two seperate boxes! Just a lot easier to line up than two singles

Go for it, I have before, like you say easier to get them lined up!
