Abstract
A surface mount box including a substrate and a cover is disclosed. The substrate has four side walls on a rectangular base. Coupling means are formed on exterior surfaces of two of the side walls to connect with other surface mount boxes for expansion. An opening on one of the side walls provides a passage for a transmission line to go into the surface mount box. Another opening is formed on one of the side walls to receive a connector port. The cover has a number of coupling elements and a plug on a base plate. When the cover is fastened to the substrate by the coupling elements, the plug inserts into the opening for the transmission line and confines the transmission line within a small region.
Claims20
An expandable box for containing a connector port which is connected with a transmission line, said box comprising:
- a substrate including:
- a rectangular base;
- a first side wall on one side of said base, having coupling means on the exterior surface for expansion;
- a second side wall connecting with said first side wall on said base, having an opening for receiving said connector port;
- a third side wall, opposite to said first side wall on said base, having coupling means on the exterior surface for expansion;
- and
- a fourth side wall, connecting between said first side wall and said third side wall on said base, having an opening as a passage for said transmission line;
- a cover having a number of coupling elements and a plug on a base plate;
- wherein said cover is fastened to said substrate by said coupling elements and said plug inserts into said opening of said fourth side wall to confine the transmission line therein.
An expandable box for containing a connector port which is connected with a transmission line, said expandable box being expanded by connecting with a second expandable box, each said box comprising:
- a substrate including:
- a rectangular base;
- a first side wall on one side of said base, having coupling means on the exterior surface for connecting with said second expandable box;
- a second side wall connecting with said first side wall on said base, having an opening for receiving said connector port;
- a third side wall, opposite to said first side wall on said base, having coupling means on the exterior surface for connecting with said second expandable box;
- and
- a fourth side wall, connecting between said first side wall and said third side wall on said base, having an opening as a passage for said transmission line;
- a cover having a number of coupling elements and a plug on a base plate;
- wherein said cover is fastened to said substrate by said coupling elements and said plug inserts into said opening of said fourth side wall to confine the transmission line therein.
