National Light Sources | Adaptable Box IP65 150mm x 150mm x 50mm | Light Grey
The NLS 30632 is an adaptable box rated IP65, designed to protect electrical and data connections from water and dust ingress in exterior locations. The 30632 measures 150mm x 150mm x 50mm and is manufactured from light grey polycarbonate, making it suitable for housing cable terminations, junctions, and relay connections on building exteriors, sheds, and outdoor installations. It complies with the IP65 weatherproof standard for dust and water protection.
Outdoor cable protection is critical when joining damaged cables, terminating submains to remote structures, or creating multi-way junction points away from mains boards. Many electricians and builders face the challenge of housing connections safely on external walls where standard indoor enclosures fail within months. The NLS 30632 solves this by providing a sealed, weatherproof environment that prevents corrosion, water damage, and short circuits in outdoor wiring scenarios.
Electricians value the NLS adaptable box range for cost-effective weatherproofing on exterior jobs. The 150mm x 150mm footprint suits standard cable glands and termination blocks, and the light grey finish blends with most building facades. Stock rotation is straightforward since the 30632 sits centrally in the NLS adaptable box range — smaller boxes handle tight spaces, larger variants handle multi-cable installations. The sealed design with Phillips head screws ensures the IP65 rating holds reliably over time.
Features
- IP65 weatherproof rating — prevents water and dust ingress, suitable for exterior walls, sheds, and outdoor cable protection with sealed design and gasket.
- Light grey polycarbonate construction — resists UV degradation and weathering better than standard PVC, holding colour and finish in prolonged sun exposure.
- 150mm x 150mm x 50mm dimensions — suits standard cable glands and termination blocks, compact enough for wall mounting without excessive projection.
- Sealed lid with Phillips head screws — four-point closure ensures the weatherproof rating is never compromised by loose fixings or wind vibration.
- Multiple internal termination points — adaptable for electrical, data, MATV, relay and contact housing without modification or additional adapters.
- Centre position in the NLS range — smaller models (75mm x 75mm, 100mm x 100mm) handle compact jobs; larger variants (150mm x 225mm, 300mm x 300mm) suit multi-cable installations, so the 30632 covers most renovation and retrofit scenarios without overstocking.
- Complies with weatherproof standards — rated to IP65, approved for outdoor locations where moisture and environmental exposure are expected.
Where to use
- Exterior wall cable terminations — the NLS 30632 protects submains and supply cables joining to sheds, pool pump houses, external lighting circuits, and detached structures where standard indoor enclosures cannot be used.
- Multi-way outdoor junctions — suits joining three or more cables in remote locations away from switchboards, with space for terminals, relays, and protective devices inside.
- Data and comms protection — houses network cables, antenna feeds, and MATV signal splitters on exterior walls, protecting connectors from salt spray and rain in coastal regions.
- Outdoor relay and control boxes — suitable for poolside automation, garden lighting controls, and HVAC equipment terminations where weatherproofing is mandatory.
- Damaged cable repair and splicing — when existing exterior cable runs are damaged, the 30632 provides a quick sealed enclosure to house splice boxes and protection caps without re-running conduit.
- Renovation and retrofit work — compact enough to fit awkward spaces on renovation jobs, e.g., exterior wall mounting, soffit runs, or shed conversions where hidden conduit routing is impractical.
The NLS 30632 is not suitable for submersible or high-pressure wash environments — the IP65 rating protects against rain and dust, not continuous water jets or hose-down applications. Do not use the 30632 in locations subject to chemical spray, extreme UV (hotter than 50°C ambient), or corrosive atmospheres without additional protective coatings.
