Abstract
A fixture box for a light fixture or the like is disclosed. An input port accessible from the exterior of the housing is provided to receive and terminate an incoming electrical power source cable. An output port accessible from the exterior of the housing is also provided to provide electrical power to another fixture. A light fixture port accessible from the interior of the housing provides an electrical connection between the incoming power and the light fixture. Enclosed hot, neutral and ground buss portions are provided to make electrical connections and provide electrical power between the input port to the output port and to the fixture port. The fixture box also lowers labor costs due to the quick termination of the Q-CEB to the snap in connection at the ports.
