D-LINE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about D-LINE from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum cable diameter that D-LINE cable floor covers can accommodate?
D-LINE cable floor covers, such as the PVC Plastic Cable Floor Cover (SKU 19RZ85), are designed to manage cables up to 5/16 inch in diameter. This single-channel cover protects cables running across floors, reducing trip hazards and cable wear. The overall dimensions are 2 11/16 inches wide and 9/16 inch high, providing a low-profile solution for routing cables in walkways and other areas. It is suitable for low-voltage applications and can be used in both residential and commercial settings.
Are D-LINE raceways paintable?
Yes, many D-LINE raceways are paintable. For example, the Maxi Raceway (SKU 38G167) and Mini Raceway (SKU 38G172) have a paintable surface, allowing them to be customized to match the color of the wall or baseboard. This feature is useful for blending cable management into the surrounding decor. The raceways are made of PVC plastic and come in white or black, with some models featuring a semi-gloss finish. Painting should be done after installation and according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
What is the Hinge and Click Lock design in D-LINE cable concealers?
The Hinge and Click Lock design is a feature of several D-LINE cable concealer strips, such as the Quarter Round (SKU 60WA66) and Mini Raceway (SKU 60WA63). It allows the cover to hinge open for easy cable insertion and then click securely closed, providing a continuous channel for routing low-voltage cables. This design simplifies installation and allows for future cable additions or changes without removing the entire raceway. The cover can be opened and closed multiple times without losing its locking function.
What sizes are available for D-LINE Mini Raceway connectors?
D-LINE Mini Raceway connectors, such as the Mini Raceway Coupling (SKU 38G180), are designed for Mini Raceways sized 1.18 inches by 0.59 inches (30x15 mm). These couplings join sections of raceway to create longer runs. They are made of white PVC and are supplied in packs of 5. The Smooth Fit design ensures a continuous channel for cables. It is important to match the connector to the specific raceway model to ensure compatibility.
Can D-LINE cable concealers be used outdoors?
D-LINE cable concealers are primarily designed for indoor use. They are made of PVC plastic, which offers some resistance to moisture, but they are not specifically rated for outdoor exposure to UV light, extreme temperatures, or weather. For outdoor applications, additional protection or alternative products may be necessary. It is recommended to consult the product specifications and consider the environmental conditions before installation. For indoor use, they provide effective cable management and protection.
What mounting options are available for D-LINE raceways?
D-LINE raceways offer different mounting options depending on the model. Some, like the Quarter Round (SKU 60WA66), feature adhesive mounting for easy installation on smooth surfaces. Others, such as the Micro+ Raceway (SKU 60WA67), use screw-on mounting for a more secure attachment. The choice depends on the surface type and the weight of the cables. Adhesive mounting is suitable for lightweight cables and temporary installations, while screw-on mounting provides greater stability for permanent installations or heavier cable loads.
