Review on White Leviton 47605-28N SMC 28-Inch Series Structured Media Enclosure by Randy Albright

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Seems like a good deal until you factor in the cost of all branded modules

As a box with a door that fits in the wall it's great. As something to help you organize and build your home network, it leaves a lot to be desired. Whether you want to use nifty push-lock fasteners or a web of holes in the back, you need to buy Leviton's patented overpriced modules. Or you can do what a lot of people have done here and drill your own holes or install plywood inside. I was disappointed to find that attaching items inside the box required some creativity. I didn't want to spend $150 on a patch panel that should have been $40. I was very disappointed to find that my switch would not fit with standard mounting brackets. Luckily I was able to come up with something using zip ties. I'm not sure if the competitors' products are any better. My experience is only with that.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Weight
