Modular Plug and Play

Main Distribution Box:
The heart of the modular wiring system, the Main Distribution Box (MDB) delivers power to the Secondary Distribution Boxes via Power Extender Cables. The MDB comes standard in 6 double port General Purpose (GP) and Isolated Ground (IG) or 6, 9 or 12 single port configurations. Single ports can be configured for General Purpose power or Isolated Ground. A prefabricated Metal Clad Type MC Home Run® or Super Neutral® cable with oversized neutral conductor(s) is provided as an integral part of the system.

Secondary Distribution Box:
The Secondary Distribution Box (SDB) is the point from which General Purpose (GP) branch circuit power or Isolated Ground (IG) power is delivered to user outlets. The SDB comes standard in 4 double ports or 4 or 6 single port configurations.
Access Floor Module:
Easily integrated into The Intelligent Floor® System, the ACS Access Floor Module allows easy access to power and telecommunication outlets in an access floor. The floor module can be equipped with both General Purpose and Isolated Ground receptacles as well as industry standard telecommunication connectors from the vendor of your choice. The Access Floor Module is easy to relocate when moves, adds and changes occur.

Zone Distribution Box:
The Zone Distribution Box functions as a telecommunication Consolidation Point (CP) or Multi-User Telecommunication Outlet box (MUTO). This enclosure, when combined with our pre-terminated telecommunication home run cable, provides a communication wiring distribution point between the telecommunication closet and the end user location.

The enclosure can be fitted with a variety of industry standard copper or fiber telecommunication modules which provide connectivity, cable management, and slack storage for cables. The standard telecommunication home run cable is a bundled and armored assembly consisting of unshielded twisted pair or fiber optic cable. The telecommunication system is factory tested to meet TIA 568A performance specifications. Standard 12 or 18 port copper and/ or fiber configurations are available.

Integrated Zone Distribution Box:
The Integrated Zone Distribution Box (IZDB) supports power and telecommunication cabling in a single enclosure with a pre-terminated telecommunication home run cable. Both services are kept physically separated in the box. The IZDB receives power from the MDB via snap-in Extender Cables. The standard telecommunication home run cable is bundled and armored assembly consisting of unshielded twisted pair or fiber optic cable. The individual cables and fiber pairs are factory-terminated in compliance with the requirements of TIA 568A. The IZDB comes standard in two configurations-4 double port GP and IG with 18 port copper or fiber or 4 double port GP 7 IG with 12 port copper or fiber. Other custom configurations of bundled 4 pair UTP and fiber optic cable are also available.

Power Extender Cables:
A Whip End Extender Cable carries branch circuit power from the "power out" tap on the Extender Cable to access floor modules or to support connections to modular furniture systems.

A single (5 pin) or double (10 pin) port Extender Cable runs form MDB TO SDB and from SDB to Whip End Extender Cable at point of use. It may also run directly from MDB to Whip End Extender. This versatile component also provides extension capability in the event of changing length requirements.

Power Extender Cables are manufactured from Metal Clad Type MC Cable, consisting of 90¼ C insulated #12AWG solid copper ground. All Extender Cables are rated for use on 20 ampere branch circuits, and are dead-fronted for safety. To eliminate inter-voltage connection, each cable is keyed and color-coded to meet specific voltage requirements.

Telecommunication Extender Cables:
These cable s are used to connect desktop devices to the ZDB. Cable configuration varies based on user requirements. For a Consolidation Point (CP) configuration, these cables generally use RJ45MJ or SC connectors at the ZDB and are factory-terminated on a RJ45MJ or SC connector at the faceplate. On the Multi-User Telecommunication Outlet (MUTO) configuration, these cable generally use RJ45MP connectors on both ends providing direct connection of the desktop devices to the ZDB.
