Wirerack system













Designed for commercial and residential applications, the Studlock wirerack system allows users to setup and pull wire from 1,000-ft spools. The racks hold multiple spools, which keeps them off the floor. No tools or screws are required for installation, as a locking mechanism holds the racks securely in all wood and steel studs. They’re level upon installation and won’t tip over or slide when the spools run low.

Fiber/copper cable tester


























Available in two models, DTX CableAnalyzers feature large displays and 12 hr of battery life. They have a 12-sec Cat 6 fiber Autotest that provides standards-compliant certification by testing two fibers (each at two wavelengths), measuring length, and determining pass/fail status. The DTX-1200 supports test capabilities up to 350 MHz, and the DTX-1800 has a 900 MHz maximum bandwidth. Multi-mode and single-mode fiber test modules are available for the series, which allows immediate testing of fiber or copper cabling without swapping adapters.

They provide a minimum letter brightness of 0.15 foot-lamberts and are housed in an all-plastic, high-impact, sealed casing that’s waterproof.
