It’s the first in-ground product on the market that will deliver permanent power and uses a UL50E Type 6P rated wiring enclosure and has been tested and evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. for safe operation year round.

The Outdoor Ground Box is designed to handle the requirements of the outdoor space while blending into the landscape. It’s perfect for spaces such as: outdoor retail shopping centers, corporate campuses, amusement parks, sports fields, hospitality, or any outdoor space where power is required.
