In pat terns, each straight run of track is started
with an Individual and continued with Joiners.
CABLE OR STEM
Stems are recommended for housings in
straight runs or patterns and cables for housings
in patterns only. Both at tach to the housings at
any point (except at top wireway covers), may be
spaced up to 8' apart and may be shortened in
the field. The cables have an adjusting collar to
facilitate leveling. Stem length may be increased
48" with the Stem Extension Kit. A special coupler
is included to strengthen the joint between
housings.
POWER FEED AND POWER CONTINUI TY
Power is fed into the end of a straight run
of housings with a Stem Kit. Power is fed

Splice Boxes with a Stem Kit or a Cable Kit
with electrical feed. Power is also continued
from one track run to another through the
Housing/Splice Boxes. Auxiliary Electrical
Connectors, which are ordered in sets with
