THE KWIKPATH® SYSTEMA PATHWAY TO BETTER CABLE MANAGEMENT

T elephones. Video. TV. Internet. Data networks. Security andalarm systems. In recent years, contractors have seen an explosion of new and sophisticated cabling installations in

commercial buildings and homes. Moreover, these cabling requirementsare constantly changing and evolving to keep up with technologicaladvances. As a result, buildings and homes are accumulating clutteredtangles of wires and abandoned cables in their walls and ceilings,making cabling system upgrades difficult and costly.

Keeping both present and future communication cabling needs inmind, we created the Kwikpath cable management system. Designed to arrange and organize cables into a logical series of re-usable pathways behind walls and ceilings, Kwikpath makes cable installationand removal fast, simple and worry-free. With Kwikpath, cable andnetwork upgrades are easier and less costly.

No wonder so many contractors, building owners and homeownersfind cable management with Kwikpath a snap.

Without Kwikpath, communication cables can easily becomea mess of snarled wires and tangled lines. Could you find thecable you’re looking for here?

! KWIKPATH INNOVATIONA simplified method to branch off raceway in newconstruction; or retrofit a raceway without removingexisting cabling.

• ideal for applications with spatial limitations

• no more duct-taping a raceway branch

• no need to remove existing cable

• easy to handle and install

COMPLIANCE TO BUILDING REGULATIONSKwikpath meets all building regulations and is the onlyfully approved, raceway and fitting combination on themarket. High safety standards give you the peace of mindthat your communications network installation will passinspection the first time.

BENEFITS

PROTECTS CABLE INTEGRITY AND PERFORMANCEKwikpath prevents cables from being damaged on edgesor snags as they’re pulled through the raceway. Oncecables are installed, Kwikpath offers flame resistingproperties, and its protective shell prevents damage to cables when renovations cause trademen to enter or change the walls or ceilings.

REDUCES COSTS NOW AND OVER LONG TERMKwikpath is designed to allow easier cable installationand removal than other raceway systems. Simply pullcables through the raceway – no more fishing newcables blindly through walls or ceilings. Kwikpath alsoreduces renovation costs by eliminating the need toremove existing cabling in retrofit applications.

INSTALLATION FRIENDLY PACKAGING200' coils are packaged individually in corrugatedboxed cartons for ease of handling and dispensing.Designed into the cartons are packaging features thatassist with moving and dispensing the product. Byusing the dispensing method, only the necessaryproduct amount is withdrawn from the carton withthe balance being contained and easily managed.

A FITTING CHOICEThe Kwikpath fitting system reduces the need forpulling long runs of raceway around awkward cornersand tight spaces. And the industry first Y-Couplerreduces the number of pull boxes required in yoursystem design.

KWIKPATH® THE FASTEST AND EASIEST TO INSTALL

Kwikpath Riser lets you run communication cables effortlesslyfrom floor to floor through vertical shafts.

Kwikpath Plenum is the perfect lightweight solution for plenums and other overhead spaces.

K wikpath comes together faster and easier than other racewaysystems, thanks largely to a patented "snap-on" design thatensures fittings and raceway assemble and terminate easily

with no special tools or handling equipment needed. The six lockingtabs keep the fitting tightly connected with tremendous pull-out resistance. All without messy cementing or screws to tighten.

With its handy coil lengths delivered in dual purpose protectivepackaging/pull box, Kwikpath makes home-run systems easy andeconomical, letting you run cable from your telecommunications boxdirectly to a workstation outlet with fewer couplings. Being able tocut to length on the job site ensures that you don't run short or havewasted conduit left over.

Whether in narrow shafts or tight plenums, its light weight and fast,trouble-free installation make Kwikpath the number one choice forcommercial and residential cable management.

Kwikpath Resi is a convenient,flexible raceway system to meetthe current and future cablingneeds of any homeowner.

UNROLL KWIKPATH TODESIRED LENGTHAvailable in convenient coil lengths of 200 ft. and reellengths up to 5000 ft., Kwikpath gives you the flexibility to measure out end-to-end home-run systems with fewer couplings. Convenient lightweight coil lengths are easy tohandle and disposable reels ensure you don’t have to storeand return large steel reels.

INSTALLING KWIKPATH IS THIS EASY

PULL CABLE THROUGH KWIKPATHKwikpath’s interior corrugated surface reduces pull-forcesand friction, so pulling wires through the raceway isconsiderably easier than through metal tubing. And youcan pull cables through longer raceways without worryingabout damage to the cables.

SIMPLY SNAP CONNECTIONS TOGETHERKwikpath’s unique snap-on fittings make terminating or coupling quick and easy, and six locking tabs ensure the fittings stay connected. No messy cementing or screws to tighten.

MAKE BENDS AND TURNS BY HANDKwikpath is so lightweight and flexible you can bend,turn and manipulate it by hand to install it easily aroundirregular curves and in tight spaces. This flexibility allowsyou to get the job done right the first time, reducing wasted material and time.

CUT KWIKPATH WITHAN IPEX CUTTER For straight cuts every time, use our scissor-style cuttingtool. However, no special tools or cutting equipment are required. You can even cut Kwikpath with a regularutility knife.

KWIKPATH® MEETS ALL BUILDING REGULATIONS

Not only is Kwikpath easy to work with and invaluable in managing complicated cable systems, it also meets allcodes and standards requirements. In fact, Kwikpath is the

first raceway and fitting UL-approved combination on the market.Kwikpath offers a 100% integrated raceway/fitting system thateliminates all building code compliance concerns.

We’re also mindful of changing requirements by regulatoryagencies, governing the removal of abandoned cables in airhandling spaces. Today, architects, designers, engineers andcontractors appreciate that the most convenient way to remove andreplace a cable is to have it installed in a Kwikpath raceway.

Meeting all CSA, NBC, CEC, NFPA and EIA/TIA requirements,Kwikpath guarantees you the peace of mind of knowing yourcommunications network installation will easily pass inspection thefirst time. Not only that, you’ll know your system is safe andproblem-free for years to come.

CODES & STANDARDS

EIA/TIAKwikpath meets all commercial building telecommunications cableprotection and performance regulations.

CEC 2006/NBCKwikpath offers worry-free installation in accordance with CEC andthe National Building code of Canada.

THE KWIKPATH Y-COUPLER SAVES TIME AND MONEYThe Kwikpath Y-Coupler is a simple and cost effectivemethod used to branch off from an existing corrugatedraceway without the hassle of removing existing cablesand using large, expensive pull boxes. Also, the Y-Couplerwill reduce network downtime because existing cables willnot have to be removed for retrofit projects.

Manufactured in Kwikpath orange and fully UL approvedfor Plenum use, the Y-Coupler quickly snaps into place,creating a branch for any raceway size (3/4" - 2").

FEATURES• Plenum-rated

• Branch off without removing cables

• One part for all raceways sizes (3/4" - 2")

• Cost effective vs. pull boxes

• Ideal for confined spaces
