Fast and Reliable Connections for Prewired Raceway


Prewired connectors significantly reduce installation time for prewired raceway. Each connector takes less than five seconds to install versus as much as three minutes to manually strip wires and attach twist-on wire connectors. Independent testing confirms that installers can get off the job up to 18 times faster with prewired connectors than when using conventional methods. Further, because the prewired assemblies are factory wired and tested, errors, backtracking, and troubleshooting are virtually eliminated.

Prewired connectors are available in 3-, 6-, and 8-wire configurations, and are rated for applications up to 250V, 30A. They are compatible with a wide range of prewired systems, including Wiremold® DS4000™, 4000, and ALA4800 Series Raceway.

Prewired connectors are particularly well suited for large, repetitive installations, such as hotels, classrooms, laboratories, dormitories, and healthcare facilities.

Power Pole Extender Increases Space Flexibility, Improves Job-Site Efficiency


Legrand/Wiremold offers power poles that are easier to install and enable on-site modifications to accommodate a variety of height requirements. Wiremold® Tele-Power® Pole Extenders are available in 5-foot sections that snap together to create a single standard pole – or they may be used to extend the length of an existing pole.

Dual-compartment Tele-Power Pole Extenders work with standard Wiremold 25 Series Tele-Power Poles to provide up to five feet of additional height. The Pole Extender, which can be cut to length, slips securely onto the original pole. A patent-pending mounting system ensures that the finished pole is as strong and durable as a single unit.

Legrand/Wiremold also offers prewired and unwired Tele-Power Pole Extenders that can be combined in the field to make a single 10-foot pole. Factory-wired units come with two 20A, 125V duplex receptacles. Wired and unwired units are supplied with mounting hardware, end plate, and ceiling trim.

Tele-Power Pole Extenders offer numerous advantages over longer, single units. They are shipped in smaller packages, so they are easier to handle and store on site. In addition, smaller units are less likely to be damaged during shipment. For last-minute changes, Tele-Power Pole Extenders can be shipped by air or ground, and are stocked by Wiremold distributors.

Wiremold® Floor Box now Accepts Round Poke-Thru-Style Cover




Legrand/Wiremold now offers a six-compartment floor box with the same 8" round cover as the popular Evolution™ Series Poke-Thru device. This gives designers the option of a round cover as well as the ability to have matching covers when Wiremold® Resource RFB6E Series floor boxes and Evolution Poke-Thru devices are used in the same space.

Resource RFB Series floor boxes are versatile activation solutions that provide power, communication, and audio/video services to open space areas or directly to workstations. Large openings provide full access to all compartments and ample space to make connections, an important consideration especially for audio/video installers.

RFB6 Series Floor Boxes are also available with new FloorPort™ rectangular activation covers, as well as round Evolution covers. These covers incorporate TopGuard™ protection to prevent water, dirt, and debris from entering the power and communication device compartments. These covers are UL Listed to U.S. and Canadian standards for tile, terrazzo, carpet, and wood floors. Covers are available in nickel, brass, bronze, black, and gray.

High-Capacity Work Surface Portals


Legrand/Wiremold has introduced high-capacity work surface portals that provide convenient table-top access to electrical, voice, data, video, and audio services. Evolution™ Series work surface portals are based on the design of the popular Evolution™ Series poke-thru device. These robust units have the capacity to accommodate large devices and cabling, yet install unobtrusively into any table top.

Evolution Series work surface portals differ from many table-top products in that the cover is fully closed, even when computers, projectors, and other equipment are plugged in and in use. The cover assembly features two unique spring-loaded slide cable egress doors that provide access without using flip lids, doors, or pop-ups. Power receptacles and voice, data, and A/V connections are mounted below the table surface, which protects the connections and minimizes obstructions on the table surface.

Evolution Series work surface portals are available in 6" or 8" sizes. Other options include surface- or flush-style and cord-ended or hard-wired versions. Solid, die-cast aluminum covers feature durable, powder-coated colors: nickel, bronze, brass, gray, and black.
