6
Without RapidRun

• A/V and VGA bulk cable pulled without connectors,
  then terminated at each drop
• Field terminations might be difficult
• Solder
• Screw-down terminals
• Field terminations may also affect performance
• Inconsistent shielding, grounding practices
• If applications change, new cable must be run

7
With RapidRun

• Installer pulls base cable
• Includes pulling cap on each end
• Protection
• Ease of use
• ¾ conduit with 90 sweep
• 15 lbs of pulling tension
• Then, terminates to pigtail or wallplate with
  easy-to-use MUVI connector
• Termination is clean, sturdy, and takes only
  seconds

8
How does it work?

• The system consists of two major components
• Base cable
• Break-Away
• Pigtail or wallplate
• Installer plans wiring strategy, decides which
  signals will be used
• Select base cable
• Choose the proper Break-Aways accordingly
• MUVI connectors make termination easy

FAQs

• What kind of connector is that?
• This is a proprietary circular DIN-style
  connector. It can be referred to as a MUVI
  Connector.
• Can I get custom lengths?
• Yes, custom-lengths will be available.
• What about plenum jackets?
• Some plenum-jacketed cables will be stocked, in
  various lengths. Custom-built lengths will also
  be available.
• How is the connector terminated?
• The conductors of the cable are soldered securely
  to the RapidRun connector. This is standard
  practice for factory-assembled cables, and
  results in a high-performance, highly stable
  connection.

More FAQs

• How large of a conduit can I put it in?
• 3/4 conduit, with a factory 90 sweep.
• How long of a cable can I have?
• Many factors can affect maximum cable length.
  For most applications, picture quality is
  maintained up to 150 feet. Analog A/V
  (composite, S-video, YPbPr), applications can
  sometime exceed this, going to 200 feet and
  beyond. The longest base cables that will be
  stocked are 150-footers.
• Does it support Hi-Def?
• Supports UXGA YPbPr analog video, both of which
  support HD resolutions (including 720p and1080i).
  Length considerations should always be taken
  into account.

17
THE LAST OF THE FAQs

• How strong is the pulling eye?
• The factory has tested the strength of the ring
  on the pulling eye, and pulling force should not
  exceed 15 lbs. If stronger pulling force is
  needed, a pulling aid that attaches to the wire
  itself can be used.
• Who needs the RapidRun system?
• Hotels, banquet centers, exhibition halls,
  convention centers, training rooms, presentation
  areas, houses of worship, conference rooms,
  classrooms, high-end home theater installations,
  auditoriums, transportation terminals, retail
  stores, etc.
• ANYWHERE WHERE A/V OR VGA SIGNALS NEED TO GO A
  LONG DISTANCE, THROUGH A SMALL SPACE, AND WITH A
  MINIMAL AMOUNT OF TERMINATION WORK!!!
