Pluggable Electrical Installation

Simplicity is the Future

Pluggable electrical installation represents the cutting edge in building installation today and is becoming more and more popular. And with good reason – this plug-and-play approach involves structured planning and assembly of cables and connectors before they reach the construction site, where they can then be simply plugged together. That saves time, prevents errors and simplifies maintenance.

WINSTA® in Use

In our new panorama experience, learn where WINSTA®’s advantages really make a difference and discover specific example applications of simple installations in offices and hotels.

New Lighting Connection Box with Linect® Interface from WAGO

More Freedom in Lighting Design

These days, there is often not enough space within modern LED lights for suitable field-wiring terminal blocks. WAGO now has a solution: the new connection box for lighting and electrical equipment with a Linect® interface is easy to attach outside the light. This leaves more room for creativity and makes the connection process easier for electricians, while also protecting the light from contaminants and dust, since it no longer has to be opened to connect it.

The Benefits for You:

  • Generous installation space outside box for conductor cross-sections up to 5 × 2.5 mm2
  • Integrated Linect® interface and connector for conventional connection
  • Suitable for either pluggable building installation with WINSTA® or conventional installation
