Hubbell RACO 206RAC RETRO-RING

This galvanised steel electrical box fits 3/8 in. to 1-1/2 in. thick walls or ceilings for old-work installations. It accepts one or two devices directly and includes a wall template for accurate cut-outs. The small footprint is covered by most popular life-safety devices. Steel old-work wings secure the box and mounted devices to the wall structure.

Sustained installation performance

Steel old-work wings maintain a firm hold on the box and devices after the wall is closed, resisting movement from repeated device use. The galvanised coating protects the ring from corrosion inside the cavity over the service life. A low-voltage partition can be added for power and data separation without degrading the mechanical mounting.

Thermal noise and power characteristics

As a passive metal enclosure the RETRO-RING produces no heat, noise or power draw during normal operation. The galvanised steel dissipates any warmth from connected devices without active cooling. No electrical consumption or acoustic signature is added to the circuit.

Questions about this item

Does the steel construction of the RACO 206RAC RETRO-RING generate noticeable heat when devices are powered all day?

The galvanised steel ring is a passive mounting bracket with no electrical components, so it produces no heat of its own during continuous operation.

What existing wall opening and thickness does the 206RAC require for a secure old-work installation?

It fits a standard 4-inch square cut-out in walls or ceilings between 3/8 inch and 1-1/2 inch thick, using the included template and built-in steel wings.

Will the RETRO-RING accept the same low-voltage partition I use with my current steel boxes for power and data separation?

Yes, the 206RAC is designed to accept a steel low-voltage partition, allowing power and data devices to mount side by side in the same opening.
