Interference-Limiting Turn-Lock Receptacles

Protect computers and other sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Also known as isolated ground receptacles, they have a ground terminal that is insulated from the mounting strap so you can run an isolated ground wire through the conduit. When mated with a plug, a quarter turn locks them in place to remain secure in high-vibration applications and prevent accidental disconnection. Receptacles fit standard wall plates (not included).
