Fire-safe cabling access

LARGE CAPACITY POKE-THROUGH supports up to 36 low-voltage cables in one location. The large capacity, fire-rated poke-through is designed for communication cable, furniture-feed applications. The unit mounts flush with the floor surface and is intended for workstation clusters that require the feeding of a large number of communications cables through the floor. UL listed and CSA certified, the poke-through is for 1-, 1.5- and 2-hour fire-rated floors, with thicknesses of 2.25" to 7". Installed easily from above or below, the unit has two internal spurs to prevent the fitting from pulling out of the 3" cored hole. The flush cover has knockouts of 1 1/4" and 2" in the center to mount a conduit fitting if flexible conduit is used for transition to the furniture. For communications cables only, its maximum capacity is 36 UTP cables at 0.21" diameter (40% fill). Covers are available in brass, black and gray.-Hubbell Premise Wiring

Hidden antennas

ENABLE IN-BUILDING WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY. The i-ceilings Wireless System integrates antennas with acoustical ceilings to enable clear, reliable coverage for wireless communications inside commercial interiors. A suite of antennas is embedded in the special ceiling panel itself to enable in-building wireless connectivity for both voice and data. The panels provide effective coverage because the ceiling plane is considered to be the best location for omnidirectional antennas. The panels blend with the overall ceiling, eliminating unsightly surface-mounted antennas. Compatible with all wireless voice and data standards, including the IEEE 802.11b standard and the Bluetooth standard, the panels can include one 850/1,900 Mhz dual band voice antenna, one 1,900 Mhz voice antenna that can be used alone or as a diversity element with the dual band, and two 2,400 Mhz antennas in a diversity configuration. Other series with different antenna configurations are also available.-Armstrong
