ACTi PMAX-0704 Weatherproof Junction Box
Overview
The PMAX-0704 is a weatherproof junction box engineered for outdoor and semi-outdoor camera installations where cable routing, power consolidation, and environmental protection matter. IP66 rating protects against dust and high-pressure water jets — a practical requirement when mounting cameras on building exteriors, poles, or equipment enclosures exposed to direct rain or spray. PoE (802.3af) passthrough eliminates the need for separate power runs to the junction point, reducing installation complexity and cable clutter. Deploy this where camera lines converge before entering a control room or NVR closet, or where a single weatherproof consolidation point prevents water ingress into cable conduits.
Compatibility
The PMAX-0704 integrates with ACTi camera series A4x, B4x, B41x, E44, E45, E46, E48, E44A, E45A, E46A, E41x, and I4x, plus PMAX-0203 through PMAX-0205 mounting accessories. Verify your specific camera model against this compatibility list before procurement to confirm mechanical and electrical fit. The unit supports standard rack-mount configuration for distributed surveillance architectures where multiple camera feeds converge at a central junction point.
Installation Notes
IP66 rating assumes proper cable sealing — use strain-relief grommets and weatherproof connectors for any cable entry. Taiwan-manufactured, weight 3.55 lbs. Confirm mounting surface can support the unit and bundled cable weight. PoE passthrough operates at standard 802.3af levels (up to 15.4W per port depending on switch and cable run); verify your PoE switch has sufficient budget if daisy-chaining multiple junction boxes or if cameras draw near maximum allocated power.
