Armored vinyl construction provides superior durability in commercial environments, reducing damage from impact and abrasion and delivering longer service life. This translates to lower replacement costs and less maintenance downtime in high-traffic facilities. The back-wire termination paired with a precision screw connection enables faster, cleaner terminations, streamlining on-site wiring and improving installation efficiency across multiple panels. The 15A, 250V rating and NEMA 6-15P configuration ensure reliable performance for common commercial loads, supporting consistent current delivery and minimizing nuisance trips. Brass contact material delivers robust, low-resistance connections, improving safety margins and reducing energy losses in long cable runs. Color-coded yellow ED Box packaging aids quick identification during assembly, stocking, and field repairs, boosting overall jobsite productivity. Compliance with RoHS, cULus, and NOM classifications mitigates regulatory risk and simplifies cross-border sourcing for industrial projects. The product’s 0.25-0.63 inch cord range and back-wire wiring method support a wide range of cord sets and simplify compatibility with existing infrastructure. The design accommodates a two-pole, three-wire grounding scheme for reliable fault protection, ensuring safe operation in commercial wiring installations. In practice, engineers report easier retrofits and faster commissioning when integrating this armored plug into ED Box assemblies, thanks to standardized dimensions and dependable torque performance (15 lbf-in).
