Leviton Telcom 40278-W Surface Mount Jack 8P8C White

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 40278-W is a surface mount telephone jack with an 8P8C (8-position, 8-conductor) modular connector configuration. Designed for wall-surface installation without requiring a recessed electrical box, it provides a finished termination point for telephone or low-voltage data lines. Telecommunications technicians and structured wiring installers use this jack for both new construction and retrofit applications where in-wall mounting is not practical or desired. The white finish suits standard residential and light commercial interior environments.

This surface mount jack is suited for residential telephone wiring installations, small office voice cabling, and low-voltage retrofit projects. It mounts directly to a flat wall surface, making it a practical solution when fishing wires through walls is not feasible. The 8P8C configuration supports standard telephone and compatible modular applications. It is sold as an individual unit.

Follow applicable local low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer termination guidelines when punching down or connecting conductors.
