Abstract

A surface mount box including a substrate and a cover is disclosed. The substrate has four side walls on a rectangular base. Coupling means are formed on exterior surfaces of two of the side walls to connect with other surface mount boxes for expansion. An opening on one of the side walls provides a passage for a transmission line to go into the surface mount box. Another opening is formed on one of the side walls to receive a connector port. The cover has a number of coupling elements and a plug on a base plate. When the cover is fastened to the substrate by the coupling elements, the plug inserts into the opening for the transmission line and confines the transmission line within a small region.
