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.

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.
