Through-Panel-Mount Connectors

Before making a permanent connection, use these connectors to test a circuit. Also known as binding posts, they mount through panels to create a connection point.

All connectors are insulated to prevent contact with panels.

Gold-plated brass conducts the best. Tin-plated brass lasts the longest. Nickel-plated brass offers a good compromise between conductivity and longevity.

Single banana jacks come in your choice of color. Double banana jacks come with one red jack and one black jack, and your choice of color for the mounting base.

Hand-held voltage ratings are the maximum tested voltage for applications where you hold a cord connected to the jack in your hands while testing. Hands-free voltage ratings are the maximum voltage the jack is rated to withstand.

Ceiling-Mount Outlet Poles

Bring power to workstations that are not near a wall—these poles mount from the ceiling. They are internally divided to accommodate power cable on one side and telephone and data cable on the other. Add phone jacks or RJ45 sockets to the knockouts to connect telephone and data cable, or run cable to equipment through the knockouts. Carpet/floor grippers hold fast on the flooring, so there’s no need to cut carpet or drill into the floor.
