The connection point includes: a wall block, including first connection elements, the wall block configured to be mounted securely in a wall of the dwelling such that the first connection elements are electrically connected to corresponding portions of the grid; and a functional block configured to provide a specific electric function and including second connecting elements, wherein the functional block is configured to be removably mounted in the wall block, and thus interchangeable, the attachment providing the electrical connection of the second connection elements to the corresponding portions of the grid via the first connection elements, to allow the electric function to be brought into service.

Molded Box Cover for Fire and Acoustical Sealing of Electrical Boxes

An electrical box cover for an electrical outlet box includes a back and four sides extending from the back. The back and the four sides define an interior of the box cover that is large enough to cover the exterior of the electrical outlet box. The box cover is made of a soft, flexible material that can be molded to a shape of the electrical outlet box and that has certain elastomeric qualities so that the box cover can be slipped on to the electrical outlet box and installed, thereby providing additional sound and fire protection to the electrical outlet box. The cover box may also include a flange surrounding the opening in the box cover to cover any gaps around the cutout of the wall. The box cover may include one or more knock-outs that correspond to one or more knock-outs in the electrical outlet box.

Use of flame resistant material with audio/video, information and communication technology equipment enclosure

A wall-mounted enclosure assembly comprising knockouts formed through one or more enclosure walls is provided with a layer of metallic or polymeric flame-resistant material affixed to the exterior or interior surface of the one or more enclosure walls to block the knockout's perforations, which would otherwise remain open. This seals the unused knockouts and prevents hot molten materials or flames from escaping the enclosure through the knockouts' perforations in the event of a destructive equipment malfunction within the enclosure. Unused knockouts remain visible through the tape, and consequently the tape does not prevent installers from easily locating and removing selected knockouts.
