Fiber-optic indoor and indoor/outdoor interlocking cable

is an aluminum armored design that is said to eliminate the need for inner duct or conduit with a smaller crush resistant pathway for improved design flexibility and lower installed cost. The product is used within buildings to provide high-density connectivity and ease of installation. For more about Opti-Core cable from Panduit, click here .

Busway system is a modular overhead high-density electrical distribution system designed for the higher load requirements of industrial and high-tech applications. The new system was developed to extend the manufacturer’s maximum busway size from 225 to 400 amps, as a response to the growing power needs of labs, data centers and other mission-critical facilities.
