Cooper Wiring Devices Announces
ArrowLink™ Modular Devices
New line of cost-effective devices offers increased flexibility on the jobsite
PEACHTREE CITY, GA., February 27, 2009 – Cooper Wiring Devices, a division of Cooper Industries,
has announced Arrow Hart® brand modular wiring device, ArrowLink, the industry’s most comprehensive
device installation solution. ArrowLink provides an unequalled breadth of devices that offer superior
speed and consistency to help lower installation costs on any job site. The unique installation flexibility,
combined with a set of industry-first safety features make the ArrowLink a complete job solution for any
location.
ArrowLink modular devices maximize labor savings through a broad offering and increased job-site
flexibility. The extensive breadth of the line provides increased efficiency, as the use of an ArrowLink
device ensures a quality connection for any application. The convenient external connection style and
the reduction in the number of trim-out installers required for each installation save time and labor. In
fact, the modular connections increase trim-out speed more than 2 to 1. In addition, the connector leads
are prepped, stripped and ready to wire. The clearly-marked, consistent pre-wired configurations
eliminate the risk of mis-wiring, which reduces the occurrence of call-backs, and results in increased
savings.
In addition to flexibility and cost savings, ArrowLink devices bring the same Arrow Hart quality and
dependability that customers of Cooper Wiring Devices have valued for years. The leaded ArrowLink
plug preserves the structural integrity of the base wiring device, and the one-piece impact-resistant
connector provides maximum durability during rough-in. Plus, a polybag connector cover shields the
contacts from any paint or drywall mud. The audible click indicates a secure connection every time.
