Q-TRAN Introduces Flexible, Watertight Q-Wire Used in Direct Burial Applications for Landscape Lighting
Latest Innovation In Q-Scape Direct Burial Series
BRIDGEPORT, CONN. ---Delivering another technological breakthrough for the lighting and electrical industries, Q-Tran, Inc. unveils Q-Wire, a series of flexible, watertight cables that can be used for direct burial applications to power low voltage landscape lighting. Q-Wire joins Q-Set transformer cassettes and Q-Vault housing as the latest introductions in the all-new Q-Scape family, the first direct power supply system designed and engineered for landscape lighting. Q-Tran, the industry leader of high-performance power supply systems and transformers, has also designed Q-Wire for pool/spa and indoor lighting, as well as a broad range of other applications.
Q-Wire, which was invented in the Research and Development Department at Q-Tran, is a flexible, stranded type of cable that can be used effectively for low voltage indoor and outdoor lighting. Two tinned copper insulated conductors lay parallel within an overall jacket. Easy to install, flexible Q-Wire is UL Listed, watertight, sun resistant and tin coated so it won't oxidize. Its flexible shape guarantees water tightness when used with Q-Tran's Q-Click compression fittings, to prevent water leaks.
Four sizes of Q-Wire are available. 8-AWG: QW-8/2 Stranded UF-B Cable; 10-AWG: 2C Stranded UF-B Cable; 12-AWG: 2C Stranded UF-B Cable; and, 14-AWG: 2C Stranded UF-B Cable.
Q-Wire features a two-color outer jacket--- Brown on one side to blend into the bark of a tree and Dark Gray on the other. Stranded conductors are jacketed inside the UF outer jacket and color coded in Bright Blue and Bright Yellow.
Q-Wire has been approved by UL to meet Code Standard 493. It has been rated for temperatures ranging from -20 to +90 degrees Celsius, and 75 degrees Celsius in Wet locations. The cable can operate up to a RMS maximum of 600 volts.
About Q-Tran, Inc.
In 1993, Q-Tran, Inc. was founded by John Tremaine, an accomplished lighting designer born into a family of lighting entrepreneurs and innovators. He began his career with The Miller Company, a firm acquired in the 1930's by his great grandfather, who founded the National Electric Lamp Association (NELA Park), which became headquarters for General Electric Lamp Headquarters. Ownership of The Miller Co. was passed-on through generations of the Tremaine family, until being sold to Hubbell Lighting in the 1980s.
While operating a high-tech lighting showroom, John Tremaine founded Q-Tran as a source for developing remote transformers that eliminated noise and heat, significantly improving performance to enhance the quality of light. Operating with the mantra "EnlightenedThinking®," his firm pioneered innovative transformers with improved safety, reliability, performance and convenience, and developed the first power supply center designed specifically for low voltage lighting.
Over the years, Gean Tremaine, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Jordan Nodelman, Vice President of Operations, would take their place by their father's side, helping to build Q-Tran as a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality, power supply systems, transformers and components.
