PRODUCT PICK OF THE MONTH

RIP-TIE — CABLECARRIER

The Rip-Tie CableCarrier is designed to help any technician who has ever had to replace a cable in a rush or an emergency situation. That never happens. Right. Well for those that live and work in the real world, this is the product for you. With a CableCarrier, you can carry an extra cable or two on your tool belt and be prepared for any cable problems.

The Rip-Tie CableCarrier attaches to a belt loop or tool belt with one of three choices of attachment hardware — 2-1/16" (5.2cm) nylon swivel hook; 3-1/8" (8cm) aluminum carabiner; or 2-3/16" triangular aluminum carabiner. It uses the best quality hook and loop material and will last for 10,000 refastenings. The Rip-Tie pull-tab makes opening the CableCarrier a simple one-handed operation.

The CableCarrier is available in 14 different colors and two sizes (1" wide by 6 or 9" in length,) with carabiners available in matte silver and matte black. They are sold in packages of two, five, 10, and 50.

The CableCarrier is ideal as a hanger for temporary cable runs. The 3-1/8" carabiner has a maximum opening of 1" — allowing it to hang from a wide range of supports and equipment. (Note: The carabiners are all non-load bearing.)

SPECTRACONNECT

LDDE introduces SpectraConnect, a fluorescent tube system for stage and architectural lighting. The advantages of SpectraConnect as compared to similar systems lie in the homogeneous adjustment from 0-100% with an internal 16-bit resolution — realized in the smallest possible dimensions. By means of additive color of T8 fluorescent lamps, it is possible to produce almost all the colors of the rainbow in any desired intensity. Due to the integrated DMX512 module, SpectraConnect is conveniently adjustable from the control console. The modular multi-core-plug system allows forming an unbroken line of lamps in upright as well as hanging position.
