MWS
D ES C R IPTION
MWS, Modular Wiring Systems, provide low cost installation of branch
circuit wiring for lighting and power. Using modular components
that plug together, MWS can be installed in a fraction of the time of
hardwiring. Plus, MWS offers the advantage of relocating fixtures and
outlets in future renovations.
The MWS Fixture Cable (FC) continues power from the Starter or switch
drop to the first lighting fixture and between lighting fixtures. The line
side connector snaps into any 1/2" knockout and has 6" #18 leads to
connect to fixture wiring.
