What is Softwiring?
Otherwise known as modular wiring, Softwiring is a plug-and-play system which supersedes the labour intensive method of hardwiring by utilising an interconnecting modular backbone which enables a versatile and tool-less installation between the ceiling, workstation and floor. Softwiring has transformed the building industry by adding flexibility and modularity whilst reducing installation time, waste of material and overall cost. Softwiring (or modular wiring) enables the easy re-use of wiring when re-configuring workstation power distribution, without the waste associated with hard wiring. This not only saves time and increases productivity during on-site installation, it also gives the designer maximum flexibility for future expansion.
The SW and NW series represent the latest generation of socket outlets from CMS Electracom. These units feature integrated soft-wiring couplers compliant with the AS/NZS 61535.1 connector standard, ensuring reliable and safe connectivity.
Designed to meet IP4X requirements, the outlets eliminate the need for safety end caps or tool-removable connectors. The SW and NW series also deliver significant installation advantages, allowing for fast, tool-free mounting in both thin and thick panels—resulting in substantial labour savings.
Each outlet incorporates a 10A double-pole, auto-switched mechanism for enhanced safety and performance. The SW and NW series are fully certified under the Energy Safe Certificate, providing added assurance of compliance and quality.
