Built Boards | Vertical Wall Mount NBN Cabinet CAT6 | Compliant enclosure
The Built Boards BBNBNV1 is a vertical wall-mounted network enclosure designed for Australian NBN installations, housing CAT6 cabling and network equipment in residential or small commercial applications.
When the national broadband rollout reaches a property, installers and homeowners need an enclosure that meets NBN Co compliance standards while remaining compact and unobtrusive. The cabinet holds active equipment, patch panels, and power supplies in one location, keeping cables organised and protecting connections from dust and accidental damage.
The BBNBNV1 simplifies NBN installations by combining compliance with practical functionality. It arrives with a power outlet and pre-installed CAT6 6-gang outlet, accelerating setup and reducing site time. OptiComm approval confirms compatibility with nationwide network equipment.
