The Wheelock DBB-R 4" deep red backbox delivers exactly that—extra depth for wiring, knockouts for every common conduit size, and a factory-red finish that matches your signals perfectly.

The Telecom Spot Expert Review
We see the DBB-R used on job after job because it just works. The extra depth solves those tight-conduit headaches, and the red paint means no mismatched boxes showing through. It’s one of those “install it and forget it” accessories that saves time on every project. If you’re pairing it with RSS strobes or MT horns, this is the backbox the manufacturer designed for the job.
