Why Choose the ABB UK660MV UK600 Flush-Mounted Ventilated Media Unit?
The ABB UK660MV (ABB order code 2CPX031386R9999) is a professional five-row flush-mounted multimedia distribution enclosure from the ABB UK600 range. Designed for structured data, telecommunications and home networking installations, this recessed media unit provides a dedicated housing for compatible routers, network switches, patch panels, communication equipment and associated electrical accessories.
Featuring a ventilated sheet steel door finished in RAL 9016 traffic white, the UK660MV combines a discreet architectural appearance with practical ventilation openings for installed electronic equipment. Its IP30 ingress protection rating, IK07 mechanical impact resistance and Class II double-insulated construction make it suitable for correctly designed indoor multimedia installations.
The enclosure measures 872 × 384 × 97 mm (H × W × D) and incorporates modular perforated sheet steel mounting plates, a patch panel for up to 12 compatible keystone modules and a swivelling triple socket outlet. With five rows of installation space and a nominal 60-position enclosure format, the ABB UK660MV offers a flexible solution for organising modern building communication infrastructure.

The ABB UK660MV multimedia distribution enclosure provides a central installation location for the communication infrastructure used in modern homes and commercial buildings. Rather than functioning as a conventional circuit-breaker consumer unit, it is designed primarily to accommodate compatible networking, data and telecommunications equipment within a protected recessed housing.
Its modular perforated sheet steel mounting plates provide flexible fixing positions for compatible routers, network switches, fibre-optic equipment and other communication devices. The perforated design supports adaptable equipment placement, while the removable DIN rail provides an additional mounting option for suitable accessories. The available space allows installers to arrange devices according to their dimensions, cable connections and ventilation requirements.
The integrated patch panel for up to 12 keystone modules supports organised structured cabling installations. Compatible keystone or E-DAT modules can be selected according to the required network connection type, allowing installers to establish a clear termination point for building data cabling. The supplied swivelling triple socket outlet provides a convenient power connection arrangement for suitable active networking equipment.
The ventilated sheet steel door is particularly useful in multimedia applications where active electronic equipment may generate heat during operation. Ventilation openings help promote airflow through the enclosure, although installers must still consider the heat output, manufacturer clearances and operating temperature requirements of the installed devices. The ventilated door does not make the enclosure suitable for wet or outdoor locations.
With IP30 protection, IK07 impact resistance and Class II double insulation, the UK660MV provides a defined level of protection for correctly assembled indoor installations. Its rated electrical characteristics relate to the manufacturer's enclosure specification; they should not be interpreted as ratings for every networking device or accessory fitted inside.
The flush-mounted housing offers a discreet alternative to surface-mounted multimedia cabinets. Its RAL 9016 white trim frame and door blend into suitable interior walls, while the reversible door hinge and 120° opening angle provide convenient access for installation, inspection and equipment maintenance.
For wall preparation, ABB identifies a nominal niche size of 828 × 340 × 88 mm. Installers should confirm the required opening and fixing method using the current ABB installation drawing, particularly where hollow-wall construction or additional mounting accessories are involved.
