RapidRun™ Runners™ - Making Hassle-Free Installation a Reality

Imagine pulling a VGA cable through a 3/4” conduit with a 90° sweep – and not worrying about all those small pins when you’re done. Imagine switching the installed cable from VGA to component video or switching from DVI™ to HDMI™ in less than a minute. Never before has there been an interconnect system that offered such adaptability. Until now.

The RapidRun™ Runner™, the core cable of the RapidRun system, makes each of these scenarios a reality. The advanced technology of the RapidRun system makes installation of the Runner easier and more flexible than traditional ways of running cable. Each Runner features the RapidRun connector which makes termination after installation quick and easy. Every Runner also includes two protective end caps with eye-loops that protect the connector during installation from debris. This simultaneously provides an easy and safe way to pull the Runner through conduit or construction framework. These features enable a Runner to be pulled through a conduit as small as 3/4” in diameter, while the Runner itself is flexible and durable enough that it can pass through a 90° sweep*.

The first step in building your RapidRun system is choosing the appropriate Runner for the applications you are connecting. Three Runner options are available, all CL2-rated for in-wall use. The Home Theater (Blue) and PC/Video (Yellow) Runners are also available with a plenum-rated jacket. Home Theater and PC/Video Runners are available in lengths of 15, 25, 35, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150ft. Digital Runners are available in lengths of 15, 25, 35, 50, and 65ft.
