PoE IS RAISING THE BAR FOR FIT & FINISH
CEDIA brought even more PoE shade motor solutions to the market, with manufacturers including BTX, Sombra, SI, Modern Atomics, Wolf, Power Shades, Savant and Somfy. As more power and data move directly to the window, the connection and final fit and finish matter more than ever.
That’s one of the reasons we created the XPOE grommet.
XPOE accepts keystone-style connections including RJ45, DC and USB-C, allowing the cable to terminate directly into the grommet instead of leaving a bulky connection hanging from the wall. An angled screw hole securely mounts XPOE into the wallboard, while a Snap Cap finishes the opening and conceals the cable connection.
For an even cleaner finish, slide the DropOut Cover over the XPOE. It flattens the wire and completely conceals the opening, can be painted to disappear into the wall, and is easily removed later for service.
Look for more on Xspot Trim solutions in the Xspot Wiring Solution Series beginning in October.
