This Issue's Question: Who makes PREVENTA™ Machine Safeguarding Products - For Enhancing the Safety of Personnel? "From stand-alone safety monitoring to integrated safety control systems, the comprehensive PREVENTA line of safety devices provide the appropriate level of machine safeguarding for any industry or application." Improvements in Network Patch Panels Peter Walsh, PE 
Some electrical contractors install data and communication systems that
few others can see. They have people trained to install these
specialized cables and connectors. These systems are so important to
security and business operations, the patch panels and terminations are
locked up and have security procedures.
LED Track Lighting Applications James R. Dukart 
Juno Lighting Group has added new products and to its Track Lighting Applications for 2015.First, the company’s LED wall wash/flood fixtures for line-voltage trac have been broadened with the introduction of the T258L and T259L models. The T258L and T259L fixtures offer efficacies as high as 88 lumens per watt, while producing up to nearly 4,700 lumens from the 57-watt version and up to over 2,600 lumens from the 30-watt version. They consume less energy than similar CMH fixtures, and with a rated service life of 50,000 hours, last about four-times longer, says the company. The Cost of Multimedia Outlet Appearances Peter Walsh, PE 
The cost of keeping up appearances is often overlooked. For instance,
multimedia outlets are most often located in a meeting room or
classroom. The customer wants them to look good because of their
visibility. This requires additional labor to clean up plaster dust, and
to select plate covers to match power outlet and switches.Customers expect the electricians to repair damage caused by other trades. If a painter slops on the cover plate, or the furniture mover slams a desk into it, the electrical contractor repairs the damage. If the outlet was in the stairwell or some inconspicuous location, the repair might not be required.
