Which accessories do you need for Data Pro busway?

Documented Data Pro accessories include vertical or horizontal tap-off units, horizontal elbows, panel connectors, hanging supports and feed boxes.

A tap-off or plug-in unit draws power from the run and protects its circuits; select its outlet type and mounting arrangement before ordering.

Source: Data Pro manual §4.3, §5 and §6.

Units have 1, 3 or 6 circuits; the standard arrangement is 3 single-phase circuits.

Metering modules are optional.

More suitable if…

Data Pro is more competitive if you need organised branches and changing loads in data centres, laboratories or telecom facilities.

Not ideal if…

It is not ideal to choose by appearance or assume any tap-off fits; confirm compatibility and site conditions, including altitude.

Frequently asked questions

Are tap-off and plug-in separate product lines?

Here they describe the branch unit and its connection; they do not replace the full component code.

Can I specify a cable outlet?

Yes; the manual distinguishes direct cable, fixed industrial socket and mobile industrial socket outputs.

Is monitoring included?

Not necessarily; intelligent modules are optional.

What about end caps?

Do not reuse an LVA end-cap specification for Data Pro; confirm the termination component and code with engineering.

From drawing to estimate

Planning outlets early lets you compare future reconfiguration costs against rewiring individual cable circuits.

Specialist product · GM-Z

Are you looking for medium-voltage busway?

GM-Z is a cast-resin busway built for medium-voltage power: typically the link between generators, transformers and switchgear in power plants and large industrial sites.

It is engineered and quoted project by project. Most commercial and industrial buildings need a low-voltage system such as LVA or GM instead.
