Fluorescent lamp and ballast system
The F28T8 UltraMax System operates a 2-, 3-, or 4-lamp system. The 28W fluorescent lamp and ballast system is rated for UL type CC anti-arc protection. This system includes multi-voltage control, which can virtually read the incoming voltage and adapt automatically to any voltage from 108V to 305V. It also features anti-striation protection, which eliminates traditional spiraling or swirling with a barber pole effect. The system also features a 1.4 lamp current crest factor.

Design and estimating system
The RapidBOM is a PC-based network design and estimating system that allows the user to establish and standardize on an accurate design process that automatically creates a bill of materials (BOM) and labor costs. Users can input information like cable lengths, cable closet distance, and cable type and the program will determine the materials needed, associated part numbers, and labor costs associated with completing the job. The system also includes Microsoft Project to design networks that include premise infrastructure and complete outside plant with route construction.

Infrared thermal imager
The first in a planned series of infrared imagers, the ThermoView Ti30 is a handheld thermal imaging device that detects hot spots in electrical circuits, rotating equipment, and other processes. With a range of 0° C to 250°C, the device takes infrared pictures of temperature measurements that are then recorded and can be uploaded to a PC for storage and analysis in accompanying software. As many as 100 temperature-calibrated images can be stored in the unit. The company is also offering free thermal imaging training to those who purchase the imager.
