The Kidde CAB6B is a surface-mount steel backbox built to house fire alarm control equipment in commercial installations. Black finish keeps the enclosure low-profile in exposed-mount applications where aesthetics count - mechanical rooms, corridors, and lobbies.

Built for the commercial installer

Steel construction with pre-punched knockouts on multiple sides gives flexible cable and conduit routing without cutting metal on-site. Multiple mounting points secure the enclosure to drywall, concrete, or plywood backboards. The CAB6B is sized for Kidde Commercial fire alarm panels, modules, and system accessories in a single clean housing.
