Overview

The Panduit WGSPL1218BL Wyr-Grid Pathway Splice Connector is engineered to provide a robust and reliable connection for your cable routing systems. Specifically designed for use with 12 inch (304.8mm) and 18 inch (457.2mm) Wyr-Grid Pathways, this splice connector ensures seamless end-to-end pathway continuity. Its primary function is to maintain electrical continuity between connected pathway sections, a critical requirement in many industrial and commercial installations. Constructed with durability in mind, the WGSPL1218BL offers a secure mechanical connection that physically joins adjacent pathway segments. The connector's dimensions are 1.57 inches in height (39.8mm), 4.67 inches in length (118.5mm), and 1.12 inches in width (28.5mm), allowing for a compact integration into your existing cable management infrastructure. This splice connector is part of Panduit's comprehensive Wyr-Grid system, known for its flexibility and ease of installation. While the WGSPL1218BL itself is a splice connector, it's important to note the broader context of Panduit's wire basket solutions. Panduit offers various splice options, including bolted style splices (PWBSPL**) which can form a UL Classified bond when installed correctly over bare metal surfaces, and push-on style splices (PWBPS**) for faster, tool-less connections where electrical bonding isn't required. Additionally, flat expansion splice bars (PWBFES**) are available for bridging small gaps or creating field-fabricated width reductions. The WGSPL1218BL is the black variant (BL) of a specific splice type within this range, designed for 12" and 18" pathways. Ensure your cable routing system is secure, continuous, and electrically sound with the Panduit WGSPL1218BL Wyr-Grid Pathway Splice Connector. Its precise fit and reliable performance make it an essential component for maintaining the integrity of your cable pathways. Manufactured in the USA, this splice connector upholds Panduit's commitment to quality and innovation in cable management solutions.
