Products connect a building. Electrical infrastructure components make up the power and communications backbone of a building. That is why you need electrical
infrastructure products you can trust, products that are safety-tested and code-compliant, easy to specify and install. You need products that bring choice, single source
convenience, and peace of mind. Solutions connect an enterprise. True innovation goes beyond the product. You need application-based thinking, products that
integrate simply and smoothly, from conduit and cable runs to support framing, cable tray systems, and more. People connect our industry. We are not isolated from
each other by roles of manufacturing, representation, distribution, design, installation, and inspection. We are all interdependent on each other. Because together
we enhance the value of what we do for our customers. Professional pride connects us all. We are proud of our Allied Electrical™ Group family of brands. Together, we
are uniquely able to benefit the people we serve, by supporting their professional growth, business growth, and the growth of our industry.

People connect our industry.
Allied Electrical™ Group supports everyone’s role in
electrical infrastructure design and development.
The forces that drive our industry are complex. Research and new technologies drive us all; but
it is our capacity for professional collaboration that takes us to new destinations in electrical
infrastructure design, delivery, installation, and utilization.
At Allied Electrical™ Group, internal collaboration has forged a company with the exponential
capacity to be a vital resource for the professionals we serve – distributors, contractors,
building owners, engineers, code authorities, and inspectors – the people who make
our industry remarkable.
Codes and Standards
Owners and Specifiers
Allied Electrical™ Group professionals work closely
with the standards organizations in our industry
to share new technology insights and to support
progressive, safe code development. We consult with
inspectors in the field, and with local government
officials to understand their expectations and to
share knowledge. Together, we are advancing the
important work of NEC, UL, CSA, IAEI, NFPA,
NEMA, MFMA, CTI, and others.
Property owners, architects and design engineers
demand cost-effective performance from their
electrical infrastructure projects. Allied Electrical™
Group collaborates with these professionals to
meet their expectations and more – bringing higher
performance with lower total ownership costs.

Distributor Partners
Contractors
Inspections and Approvals
Distribution partners increase efficiencies
and grow with Allied Electrical™ Group as
single-source providers. More than a promise,
Six Sigma initiatives simplify the way we do
business. EDI sets (810, 820, 850, 855, 856)
cut transaction costs. And, ardent support of
National Association of Electrical Distributors
(NAED) programs such as Industry Data
Exchange Association (IDEA) and Industry
Data Warehouse (IDW) continue to create
enhanced value.
Much of the credit for Allied Electrical™
Group’s innovation goes to contractors
who have collaborated with us on product
design, installation, and performance.
Through dialogue with National Electrical
Contractors Association, International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
International Electrotechnical Commission
and other membership groups, we deliver
solutions based on the wants and needs
of front-line professionals of our industry.
We hold in high regard the role of the electrical
inspector, and have learned over the years the
challenges these professionals face in their
constant endeavor to safeguard us all. Through
collaboration, mutual respect, and involvement
with the National Fire Protection Association,
National Electrical Code and International
Association of Electrical Inspectors, we have
found the inspection and approval process is
never static, but is open to progressive product
ideas when they are proven safe and effective.

Application Engineering
We are inspired by real-world applications and ideas discovered through
dialogues with contractors, engineers, inspectors and distributors.
Sometimes the new idea relates to performance, but it may also relate to
product handling, installation, or compliance. In most cases, it seems the
most useful answers are derived from the simple question: What if...?
Research & Development
Allied Electrical™ Group invests a significant percentage of revenue
every year into research and development. Our latest R&D programs
are looking at the evolving needs of engineers, contractors, and
building owners, even as our prior R&D programs have generated
a wave of new product and system solutions.
Innovation
You can see the evidence of Allied Electrical™ Group innovation in the
broad range of new products and systems mentioned in this brochure.
We put you at the forefront of improved product handling and installation,
better system performance, reduced ownership costs, and easier
compliance with today’s most stringent codes and standards.
Quality Assurance
Six Sigma drives all of our operations, from raw material sourcing
through manufacturing and delivery. As a result, continual improvement
is not an end process but our entire process, and our consistently
superior quality is not some distant goal, but it is the daily measure
that we live by. Professional pride compels us to offer you no less.

The Allied Electrical Group family of brands:
Connected to better serve you.
Allied Tube & Conduit has for decades been the most
specified line of EMT, IMC and rigid steel conduit. Inventors
of the Kwik-Fit ®, Kwik-Couple®, Kwik-Fit Compression®, and
EZ-Pull ® interior finish for easier wire pulling, the Allied line
has recently expanded to offer a range of color-coded EMT
products for complete and continuous identification of
individual power, fire alarm, and low voltage EMT applications.
The original, the leading, and still the most innovative line
of metal clad and armored cables, AFC’s solutions include
MC and AC cables, and flexible metal and liquid tight conduit.
The AFC ColorSpec™ identification system is just one reason
why AFC has earned such loyalty, even as we continue to
research the needs of electrical engineers, design build
contractors, electrical contractors, and inspectors.
Our long-time investments in steel research, design and
fabrication have naturally guided the development of the
Power-Strut® line of continuous slot metal framing. With
the widest array in all metals and finishes, today the brand
extends to over 10,000 SKUs and includes channel, fittings
and accessories for any framing or support application.
The Cope cable tray line includes our popular ladder,
trough, and solid bottom trays, as well as our innovative
new CAT-TRAY™ wire basket trays, Centipede® center-hung
trays, and Cope-Glas™ fiberglass cable trays.
