Metalbox distribution boxes

Metalbox Series Blue distribution boards: recessed strength and style.

  • Capacity from 14 to 56 modules: ideal for various setups.
  • Wall fixing: metal claws; G-MP28 specified for MP14HGW.
  • Graphite colour option available: modern look for select models.
  • For hollow walls: designed for precise recessed mounting.

Metalbox Blue: distribution boxes with metal frame and door

Metalbox Blue distribution boxes house modular equipment in hollow walls in 14-, 28-, 42- and 56-module formats. The range combines metal finishing components with the installation enclosure. White references and NG graphite variants are available; select by complete code and mounting requirements.

References and differences

Reference Specified capacity (18 mm modules)
MP14HGW / MP14NGHGW 14
MP28HGW / MP28NGHGW 28
MP42HGW / MP42NGHGW 42
MP56HGW / MP56NGHGW 56

The MP14HGW description distinguishes the metal frame and door from the thermoplastic box and cover. Metalbox should therefore not be read as an entirely metal body. Its data sheet states a 333 × 300 × 88 mm recess and external dimensions of 362 × 327 × 88 mm. These are different measurements for planning the opening and visible front.

Selection and installation planning

MP14HGW uses metal claws and identifies G-MP28 for hollow-wall fixing. Check the mounting parts for each capacity. This reference declares an included DIN rail and earth terminal block, while a key lock is optional and not included. Size the board for its components and thermal requirements: module count alone does not determine the electrical load of the complete assembly.

Consult Solera technical documentation to verify drawings, installation conditions and included parts. Also compare Arelos distribution boxes / ICT telecom enclosures. The Blue range for hollow walls page groups all branches.

Frequently asked questions — Metalbox distribution boxes

Which capacities are available?

The MP14, MP28, MP42 and MP56 references in this subcategory provide 14, 28, 42 and 56 modules. NG variants offer graphite. Confirm dimensions and finish using the full hollow-wall reference.

Is the box entirely metal?

The MP14HGW description specifies a metal frame and door with thermoplastic box and cover. Distinguish the components rather than assigning one material to the whole product.

Can external dimensions be used for the cut-out?

Not as an automatic equivalence. MP14HGW states 333 × 300 × 88 mm for recessing and 362 × 327 × 88 mm externally. Follow the reference drawing and check cavity depth and wall conditions.
