New Maestro LED+™ Dimmers from Lutron

9/20/2019

Lutron's new Maestro LED+™ dimmers for RA2 Select, RadioRA 2, and HomeWorks are the most versatile and highest performing in-wall LED dimmers on the market!

Introduced at CEDIA, this new dimmer is the go-to product in the professional's toolbox for smart lighting control. It is phase-selectable for controlling LED, ELV, MLV, halogen, and incandescent, eliminating the complexity of pairing the right dimmer with the right lighting load. And with an optional neutral connection, it takes the guess work out of a neutral wire being present when installing the dimmer. Installers will save time by always having the right dimmer for the job – minimizing design, accelerating installation, and reducing callbacks.

AFC Cable Systems MC-Plus® Lite Expansion

9/18/2019

AFC Cable Systems® is expanding their MC-Plus® Type MC Cable offering to include aluminum armor. MC-Plus® is a UL Listed neutral per phase MC Cable. The aluminum expansion complements AFC’s Steel Armor MC Plus portfolio.

MC-Plus® is an ideal cable for installation in offices, stores, hotels, high-rise residential or similar applications. MC-Plus® allows the installer to pull and support one multiple circuit cable in place of pulling multiple single circuit cables. MCPlus® cables eliminate shared neutrals. This allows electrical systems to continue to operate while repair or maintenance is performed on one circuit without affecting other branch circuits within the cable. MC-Plus® cables also decrease the time it takes to identify a faulty circuit as only the affected single-phase breaker will trip, thus reducing electricians time to identify and trace the cause.

Because MCPlus® cables do not share neutrals the cable mitigates harmonic distortions in power distribution systems and addresses the requirements of NEC® 210.4(B) Disconnecting Means. Aluminum armored MCPlus® is RoHS compliant.
