Hikvision DS-2280ZJ-WA160 Junction Box for CCTV Cameras

Product SKU: DS-2280ZJ-WA160

Product Overview

The Hikvision DS-2280ZJ-WA160 is a large-format junction box designed for compatible CCTV camera installations where additional space is required behind the camera for cabling and connections. Its Ø160 mm aluminium-alloy body provides a broader mounting platform than smaller junction boxes in the same accessory family while maintaining a relatively compact 55 mm depth. Weighing approximately 442.6 g, the enclosure incorporates multiple camera-side M4 fixing points, a central cable opening and a side cable entry for flexible cable routing. The DS-2280ZJ-WA160 is particularly useful where the selected camera requires a larger mounting footprint or additional connection space. Exact camera compatibility should be confirmed before installation because the supplied datasheet does not provide a model-by-model compatibility list.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Larger Camera Bases: Useful where a compatible CCTV camera requires a broader Ø160 mm mounting platform.
• Cable Management: Provides additional enclosure depth for supported camera connections and cable routing.
• Wall or Ceiling Installations: Suitable where a compatible camera needs a junction enclosure between the camera and supporting surface.
• Side-Entry Cabling: The integrated side cable entry is useful where wiring cannot pass directly through the mounting surface.

Why Choose the DS-2280ZJ-WA160

The DS-2280ZJ-WA160 is a practical option when a compatible CCTV camera requires more mounting area and connection space than smaller junction boxes can provide. Its Ø160 mm aluminium-alloy body gives installers a broader platform while the 55 mm enclosure depth creates room for supported cabling behind the camera. Multiple M4 fixing points and both central and side cable-entry options also provide useful installation flexibility. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2280ZJ-WA160 should still be selected by checking the exact camera footprint and mounting requirements because the supplied datasheet does not specify universal camera compatibility, a structural load rating or an environmental protection rating.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your compatible CCTV camera requires the DS-2280ZJ-WA160 or a Ø160 mm junction-box mounting platform.
• Choose a smaller junction box if: The exact camera supports a WA120 or WA140 model and the larger 160 mm enclosure is unnecessary.
• Confirm environmental and structural requirements if: The project depends on a specific load capacity, IP rating or indoor/outdoor classification, as these values are not published in the supplied datasheet.

FAQs

1. What is the Hikvision DS-2280ZJ-WA160 used for?
   The Hikvision DS-2280ZJ-WA160 is a junction box for compatible CCTV camera installations. It provides a dedicated aluminium-alloy enclosure behind the camera for supported cable connections and creates a larger Ø160 mm mounting platform. Exact camera compatibility should still be confirmed before installation because the supplied datasheet does not provide a model-by-model compatibility list.
2. What are the dimensions and weight of the DS-2280ZJ-WA160?
   The DS-2280ZJ-WA160 measures approximately Ø160 mm × 55 mm and weighs about 442.6 g. These measurements refer to the junction box itself. Installers should also allow clearance for the side cable gland, attached camera, cabling and fixing hardware when planning the completed installation.
3. What material is the DS-2280ZJ-WA160 made from?
   The supplied datasheet specifies an aluminium alloy body for the DS-2280ZJ-WA160. This provides a rigid circular enclosure for supported CCTV camera installations while keeping the accessory relatively compact at approximately 442.6 g.
4. What mounting holes are shown on the DS-2280ZJ-WA160?
   The dimensional drawing shows eight M4 camera-side mounting holes and four Ø4.5 mm mounting holes on the opposite face. The four Ø4.5 mm holes are arranged on an approximately 62.6 mm × 62.6 mm square pattern. Physical compatibility should still be checked against the exact camera and mounting surface before installation.
5. Does the DS-2280ZJ-WA160 have a side cable entry?
   Yes. The product drawing and image show a side cable gland or conduit entry on the junction box. This gives installers a defined side-entry route for compatible cabling where the installation layout requires it, while the central opening can support cable routing through the mounting surface.
6. Does the DS-2280ZJ-WA160 have a published load rating or IP rating?
   The supplied datasheet lists the DS-2280ZJ-WA160 as a junction box and provides its material, dimensions and weight, but it does not state a maximum load capacity, IP rating or explicit indoor/outdoor classification. For Security Wholesalers installations, those requirements should therefore be confirmed for the complete camera system rather than assumed from the junction box alone.
