What's a flange box?

I've come across this FLANGE BOX on the B&Q site. Is it just a plastic back box you would use in the same way as a metal back box?

It's clearly not a drywall box or a surface mount one so is it just the plastic equivilent of the metal box? Or does it have a particular purpose?

I'm thinking it might be a good recessed back box for my data cabling?

Ignore those two, they don't understand the rules.

Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.

B & Q have by mistake shown the photo of an undercounter bath designed for a mouse. These retail for around £750.00 at Mouse Bathstore.

Fortunately the fixing holes are identical to those for an electrical back box and face plate. With very little effort you should be able to adapt it to accept data cables and save yourself a shed load of money.

Thanks. I think.

On a serious note, DD is correct, it is deep recessed back box, that was probably designed to take a cooker panel or similar, it would be fine for data cables, a standard double blanking plate should fit as a cover.

Sorry about the humour, I couldn't resist.;)
