Choose the port count for a surface-mount extension box based on how many keystone connections you need at the installation location, with extra ports available for future additions. One-port, two-port, four-port, and six-port options support different connection requirements while providing room for clear port identification.

Check that the surface-mount extension box accepts 90-degree keystones and that the keystone’s shape and orientation fit the box without blocking adjacent ports. Also confirm the box has the right number of ports for the installation and choose a finish that suits the mounting location.

Surface-mount extension boxes can be installed with screws or double-sided adhesive, giving installers flexible options for retrofit projects and locations where cutting into the wall is not preferred. Their surface-mounted design supports placement on accessible wall or other suitable flat surfaces.

Port icons help installers and users identify the intended connection at a glance, supporting clearer cable organization on a surface-mounted installation. Black, white, and light almond color options help the boxes coordinate with the surrounding space or distinguish connection points in different areas.
