Patented Dual Speaker Modules: The Simple Approach to Managing Audio Installations

ICC has taken its patented Dual Speaker Module and made it even better. The original Dual Speaker Module has push buttons in the front and crimp terminals in the back which required installers to crimp speaker wires. The new design has push buttons on both front and back so that a tool is no longer required to install the module. Simply push buttons, insert wires, and you are done.

The new Dual Speaker Module is in slim (HD) housing. Home automation Installers can fit up to 6 Dual Speaker Modules into one faceplate, even in Decorex style (see picture). In other words, installers can wire an entire 5.1 surround sound system using only one single gang outlet. The new Dual Speaker Module accepts wires up to 16 AWG on both sides and is available in White (WH), Ivory (IV), Almond (AL), and Black (BK) housing.

ICC has been a US manufacturer of structured cabling products for 25 years. ICC supplies a large array of voice, data, audio and video outlets to commercial and residential installers through distribution channels nationwide.

EZ Fold Wall Mount Bracket

Wall Mount Bracket is an alternative to the heavier and pricier wall mount racks. It provides similar functionalities – to mount panels and equipment in a confined space – with less cost. The traditional wall mount bracket is too bulky to store and it is costly to ship because of the size of its fixed arms. Some manufacturers attempted to reduce the space by folding two arms with hinges only to create another deficiency – weak arms. Two arms are needed to have enough strength to support heavy panels, cables and expensive equipment and hinging the arms makes it dangerous to bear extra weight. By hinging two arms, it also sways the entire bracket and makes it unstable.

The EZ-FOLD Wall Mount Bracket is designed differently. It can be folded to only 2.5 inches in height and installers can easily stack them in the truck or store them in small spaces. When it is unfolded, the arms will extend to 15 inches to accommodate most of the equipment, panels, and plenty of cable storage space. The EZ-FOLD has two hinges for folding purposes.

Once it is unfolded and securely mounted, the two hinges do not bear weight anymore. Both arms are supported by stud or backboard mounting screws. The weight limit is also strengthened by the double-row screw mounting.

Additional features:
• Available in 2, 4, 6 and 8 rack unit sizes
• Divided hinge allows easy access every 2 RU
• Heavy duty 16 gauge steel
• Bridge lances everywhere for cable ties
• Optional cover for top and bottom

The box can be screw mounted to a floor, wall or suspended over the ceiling. Two optional magnets can also be used to mount on metallic surfaces. It has a rugged PVC housing making it durable so that it can be left on the floor.

With the Mobile Parch Box HiPerLink solution, anyone can deploy network cabling anywhere quickly and with ease. There’s no termination required, no tools and no mess. Each cable assembly is factory terminated in Southern California, with a turn-around time of two to four weeks.

ICC Elite Installer Installs CAT5e System for Environmental Services Company

CA – A leader in environmental protection, solid waste, and recycling services needed to network both its two facilities in Fullerton and Santa Ana. The 25,000 square foot Fullerton location required 60 voice and data connections in two wiring closets. The 17,000 square foot Santa Ana location required 40 voice and data connections, also in two wiring closets. Both infrastructures support multi-user workstations and handle high bandwidth activity such as network servers, printers, VoIP phones, and employee time clocks.

Choosing the Right Structured Cabling System

An ICC Elite Installer was hired to install an ICC cabling system for both locations, selecting high-performance CAT5e data connectivity and premise cables. ICC 7-foot distribution racks were installed and loaded with CAT5e data patch panels and horizontal cable management.

Their Systems Engineer said, “By networking the locations with ICC cabling, we were able to combine voice and data network services in a much more efficient manner. This not only greatly reduced their monthly phone bill, but also has increased their overall operational efficiency, resulting in enhanced customer service.

The Benefits of Offering Manufacturer Warranty

As an ICC Certified Elite Installer, they were able to offer ICC’s manufacturer warranty to guarantee the quality and performance of the network installation. The installer said, “By offering ICC’s manufacturer warranty, we can set ourselves apart from our competition and offer our customers a quality product and service on every installation.
