Overview

The nVent LDSWITCH72 Door Switch Cable (SKU: LDSWITCH72) is a 72-inch black copper cable designed to connect nVent PaneLite LED or Fluorescent lights to a remote door switch. This cable enables lights to activate only when the enclosure door is opened, improving safety and energy efficiency by preventing unnecessary illumination. The T-connector design allows flexible integration with ganging cables or power supplies at the switch end of the light, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity. Constructed with one 18 AWG copper conductor, the LDSWITCH72 ensures reliable power transmission for door switch functionality in industrial environments. The 72-inch length accommodates most standard enclosure sizes, providing flexibility for optimal remote switch placement. Compatible with both LED and Fluorescent PaneLite lights, this cable eliminates the need for complex hard-wiring directly to the light, streamlining setup and minimizing potential failure points. Key applications include industrial control panels, electrical cabinets, and other critical enclosure systems where controlled illumination enhances operational safety and efficiency. The cable is manufactured in the USA as part of the nVent Hoffman product family, ensuring durability and compliance with industry standards.
