Future-Proof Your Projects with Plugtail Wiring Devices

When it comes to specifying commercial buildings, it’s hard to know what the future holds. Today it may be a conference room, but tomorrow it could be multiple workstations. One reliable constant—there will always be unique power requirements. PlugTail wiring devices by Legrand, which use a first-of-its-kind technology, are designed to accommodate those needs with flexible solutions that can satisfy a building’s electrical requirements today, tomorrow and for years to come.

Some of the Benefits to Specifiers Include:

1. FUTURE READY

Unlike other electrical wiring device platforms, PlugTail allows specifiers to lay out a space knowing that every point of connection can be used for a standard switch today and a sensor tomorrow. The unique platform guarantees that wherever there is a pigtail connector, there can be any type of PlugTail wiring device at any point in time with minimal effort.

2. FASTER CHANGEOUTS

Gives specifiers the ability to offer the added benefit of minimal downtime to electrical contractors, because these wiring devices are simple to install, any device can be swapped out quickly and easily— meaning the facility can be up and running in no time.

3. INCREASED FLEXIBILITY

Thanks to the unique PlugTail connector, specifiers can provide limitless possibilities to building owners. As every pigtail can connect to any type of PlugTail wiring device, specifiers are able to deliver more and better options to building owners as they choose and change how a space will be used.

4. SECURITY OF CODE COMPLIANCE

With space usage changing so quickly, staying code compliant can be a constant challenge for everyone involved. Fortunately, all PlugTail devices meet Federal Specification and National Electrical Code requirements and are trade agreement compliant. This security gives specifiers, electrical contractors and building owners the confidence and peace of mind of knowing that however a space may be used, regardless of electrical wiring device changeouts, it will always be up to code.

5. SUITABLE FOR ALL ENVIRONMENTS

While some products are better suited to particular environments, PlugTail is suitable for specification in all commercial spaces—offices, education, healthcare, manufacturing, you name it. This distinct advantage provides specifiers with a seamless product for every job, while giving peace of mind to building owners—as they can rest easy knowing their properties are specified for every type of space.

6. HISTORY OF RELIABILITY

An often-overlooked benefit to PlugTail is how seamlessly it fits into the construction process. Once a specifier creates a building’s electrical wiring plan, building owners and electrical contractors can easily work together to install whatever wiring devices best fit the space. Given the ease of installation, it’s no wonder PlugTail is preferred by many electrical contractors.

7. A HOLISTIC SOLUTION

PlugTail wiring devices by Legrand marry well with all other Legrand products including surge protectors, sensors, Plug Load devices, Wiremold products, and AFCI and GFCI receptacles, to name a few. Specifying a project with PlugTail lays the groundwork for a flexible, code-compliant, cohesive electrical solution, with the option of energy-efficient upgrades—all of which can be easily provided by Legrand.
