Colored Boxes & Faceplates

Another First for PDU Cables

As the first power cable manufacturer to offer color choices of liquid-tight conduit, PDU Cables has expanded its offering to include eleven colors for its receptacle boxes and faceplates (blue, black, red, orange, green, yellow, gray, pink, white, purple and brown).  

 

The use of Colored Faceplates & Boxes

Color coding power cables in a mission critical facility makes tracing and managing primary and redundant power sources and key infrastructural systems and components easier, and in data center management easier usually translates into fewer outages and less downtime.  

Eleven standard colors of boxes and faceplates


 

To make data center management easier, PDU Cables, the first branch circuit power whip manufacturer to offer colored conduit, now offers colored face plates and boxes painted to match its eleven colors of Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit. 

 

 

 

 

 

1900 colored boxes and faceplates
 

Even if you aren't using Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit, you can still color code your branch circuit power whips for primary and redundant power sources. 

 

PDU Cables has colored faceplates and boxes in all eleven colors for various styles of both weatherproof and 1900 boxes, the perfect way to add color for cable management even if they are mated to greenfield or Flexible Metal Conduit (RWS or RWA).

  • The separation of primary power from redundant power.
  • Easier identification of power feeds and panel board within the PDU. 
  • PDU Cables ensures that the colors of the faceplates and boxes remain consistent from order-to-order.
