ACTi SMAX-0288 Pole Mount Bracket with Junction Box
Overview
The ACTi SMAX-0288 is a pole-mount bracket with an integrated junction box, built for outdoor camera installs where the pole is your only mounting structure and you need a weatherproof cable termination point at the mount itself. The junction box gives you a sealed space to land PoE cable runs and manage slack without a separate enclosure hanging off the pole. At 16.5 lb, it's a solid steel mount rated for permanent outdoor duty, finished in white to match ACTi's camera housings.
Compatibility
The SMAX-0288 is built specifically for ACTi's A4x, B4x, B41x, and I4x camera series, plus the E44, E45, E46, E48, E44A, E45A, and E46A models, and the E41x series. It also mounts the PMAX-0203, PMAX-0204, and PMAX-0205 mounting adapters, and pairs with the PMAX-0508 and PMAX-0704 combination for extended pole-mount configurations. If your deployment runs a mix of these ACTi camera families on the same pole run, this bracket keeps hardware and part numbers consistent across the site rather than sourcing mount-specific brackets per camera model.
Installation Notes
Designed for pole mounting in outdoor environments — confirm pole diameter compatibility with the mounting straps before ordering for non-standard poles. The integrated junction box is meant to house PoE cable connections and slack storage at the mount point, reducing the number of separate weatherproof enclosures needed on the pole. Because this is an outdoor-rated accessory, verify housing seals stay intact during install and route cable drip loops before final termination to keep water out of the junction box.
Pair the SMAX-0288 with compatible cameras from the ACTi camera catalog when planning a new pole-mounted deployment, and check a pole mount cameras listing if you're comparing bracket options across brands. For sites running multiple pole cameras on one PoE segment, review a PoE planning guide before finalizing your cable runs and switch port budget, and pair the install with an appropriately rated PoE switch to cover the added junction-box cable drops.
