Dahua DH-PFA138 Aluminium Junction Box for Security Cameras with Safety Rope Hook

Product SKU: DH-PFA138

Product Overview

The Dahua DH-PFA138 is an aluminium-alloy junction box designed to provide a neat mounting and cable-management point for selected compatible Dahua security cameras. Its Ø160.9 × 37mm enclosure offers space for supported connectors and excess cable, with G3/4 threaded outlets at the base and side for flexible routing. A built-in safety rope hook and supplied safety rope help secure the camera temporarily while connections and mounting screws are completed. The junction mount supports camera assemblies weighing up to 3kg and operates from –40 °C to +60 °C. Dahua specifies basic anti-corrosion protection but does not state an IP weatherproof rating, so compatibility, sealing and environmental suitability must be confirmed for the complete installation.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Compatible Dahua Camera Installations: Provides a dedicated junction mount for selected camera models listed in Dahua’s accessory-selection information.
• Neat Cable Management: Helps contain supported connectors, cable joins and excess cable behind the camera.
• Conduit and Gland Entry: G3/4 threaded openings support suitable side or rear cable-routing arrangements.
• Elevated Camera Mounting: The safety rope hook assists with temporary camera retention during fitting and servicing.
• Commercial CCTV Projects: Aluminium-alloy construction and a white finish support professional office, retail and warehouse installations.

Why Choose the DH-PFA138

The DH-PFA138 is a practical accessory when a compatible camera requires more organised cable termination than direct mounting to a wall or ceiling can provide. Its aluminium-alloy construction, 3kg load rating and G3/4 cable entries support a professional mounting arrangement, while the integrated safety rope hook gives installers a secure temporary attachment point during connection and servicing. Supplied screws, anchors, wrench and safety rope reduce the number of small installation items that need to be sourced separately. Supplied by Security Wholesalers, this junction box should be selected only after confirming the camera model, mounting pattern, total weight, fixing surface and environmental sealing requirements.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose the DH-PFA138 if: The selected Dahua camera is listed as compatible and the complete assembly remains below the 3kg load rating.
• Choose a smaller junction box if: The camera has a compact mounting base and requires less connector or cable-management space.
• Choose an IP-rated model if: The junction box itself must have a stated weatherproof certification for an exposed installation.
• Choose another mounting accessory if: The camera must project away from the wall, attach to a pole, mount on a corner or suspend from a ceiling.
• Confirm the cable pathway: Select compatible G3/4 glands, conduit fittings and sealing methods before installation.

FAQs

1. What is the Dahua DH-PFA138 junction box used for?
   The DH-PFA138 provides a dedicated mounting and cable-management enclosure for selected compatible Dahua security cameras. It helps organise connectors and excess cable behind the camera while creating a stable junction-mount surface. The unit is an accessory only and does not include a camera, recorder, power supply, network cable or installation service.
2. Which Dahua cameras are compatible with the PFA138?
   Compatibility must be checked against Dahua’s current Camera Accessories Selection information for the exact camera model. The DH-PFA138 has specific mounting holes, dimensions and a 3kg load rating, so it should not be treated as a universal bracket for every Dahua camera. Confirm the camera model and complete accessory chain before ordering.
3. What does the safety rope hook do?
   The integrated safety rope hook provides a secure attachment point while a compatible camera is being installed or serviced. Dahua includes one safety rope in the package. The rope is an installation aid rather than a substitute for correct mounting screws, suitable wall fixings, structural support or compliance with the camera’s installation instructions.
4. How much weight can the PFA138 support?
   Dahua specifies a maximum load-bearing capacity of 3kg for the DH-PFA138. The combined weight of the camera and any supported accessories must remain within this limit. The wall, ceiling or other mounting surface, together with its anchors and fasteners, must also be capable of safely carrying the complete installed assembly.
5. Is the Dahua PFA138 weatherproof?
   Dahua lists operation from –40 °C to +60 °C and basic anti-corrosion protection, but the official specification does not state an IP weatherproof rating for the DH-PFA138. Outdoor suitability therefore depends on the complete compatible camera assembly, sealed cable entries, installation method and exposure level. Do not assume the junction box alone provides a certified waterproof enclosure.
6. What cable-entry thread does the PFA138 use?
   The DH-PFA138 uses G3/4 threaded cable-entry points. The datasheet drawing shows entries on the side and base, helping installers route cables according to the mounting surface and camera arrangement. Any gland, conduit fitting or sealing component used with the thread must suit the cable, environment and applicable installation requirements.
7. What mounting hardware is included?
   The Dahua datasheet lists one junction box, four ST6 × 45 screws, four plastic expansion bolts, four M4 × 14 screws, one S3.0 wrench and one safety rope. Package contents may be revised by the manufacturer, so installers with a specific fixing requirement should confirm the current carton and select alternative anchors when the supplied fixings do not suit the mounting surface.
8. What should I confirm before ordering the PFA138?
   Confirm the exact camera model, total supported weight, required cable-entry route, mounting-surface material and whether additional weather sealing or conduit fittings are needed. Also check that the Ø160.9mm enclosure fits the available installation area. Security Wholesalers can assist with checking the junction box against the selected Dahua camera and mounting arrangement.
