PosiBox - Outdoor distribution box, pre-wired, transparent hinged lid, functional earth


A tough transparent PC cover provides PosiBox users with crystal clear, unambiguous views of DIN rail setups in an instant. DC connections and safety issues have never been easier to diagnose, DC Quality Audits have just become, simple, swift and safe.


Good quality DC is worth protecting long term too.


PosiBox combines innovative technology options such as a one-way pressure relief valve to stop climatic pressure and corrosive condensation build-up, a common problem in ferrous products. In addition, a built-in humidity indicator signals the presence of humidity and notifies auditors of maintenance requirements.


A further unique option is PosiBox's radical functional earth feature, an external grounding point provides a positive route to earth for system equipment, PosiBox’s dedicated path to true ground ends the problem of Foucault’s or eddy currents (looping electrical currents within the structure.


PosiBox - Clearly a new standard in DC


In Passive technology, it’s the details that matter, Hughes take care of those details!
