ABSTRACT:
An outlet box for a conventional electrical receptacle or like includes a rear support bracket extending rearwardly from one side thereof. The bracket is generally L-shaped and can include a weakened portion, to enable it to be bent. The bracket abuts an inner face of a wall panel, to prevent rearward movement of the outlet box. At the front, a frame can be attached to or integral with the side wall of the outlet box, for the mounting of communication cables. For this purpose, the frame can include one or more tabs to which communication cables can be initially secured. The tabs are deflectable internally, to abut the inner face of a wall panel around the outlet box and the frame, to prevent forward movement of the outlet box.
