Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 10588SI Cable Connector Duplex Bx used for?
▾
The 10588SI Cable Connector Duplex Bx is a dual-cable termination device that attaches to the wireway knockouts on Series II lighting fixtures. It allows two separate cable runs—such as 14/2 armored cable or flexible conduit—to be joined to a single fixture, simplifying series wiring and reducing the number of knockout holes required.
Does the connector support aluminum conduit?
▾
Yes, the Duplex Bx is rated for use with aluminum conduit as well as steel flexible metal conduit. The connector’s metal housing provides a secure clamp that grips the conduit wall, ensuring a stable electrical path that complies with NEC standards for both material types.
How do I install the Duplex Bx onto a Series II fixture?
▾
To install, first remove the knockout cover on the Series II fixture and insert the provided metal bushing. Slide the Duplex Bx into the knockout until it seats fully, then tighten the set screw to clamp the cable or conduit. Verify that the connector is flush and that the cables are securely held before energizing the circuit.
Is the connector rated for outdoor use?
▾
The Duplex Bx is intended for indoor installations within lighting fixtures and is not specifically rated for direct exposure to weather or moisture. For outdoor applications, use a connector listed for wet locations or a weatherproof junction box to maintain code compliance and protect the electrical connections.
Can I use the Duplex Bx with larger than 3/8-inch conduit?
▾
The Duplex Bx is sized for 3/8-inch trade-size reduced wall flexible steel, aluminum, or steel conduit. Larger conduit diameters will not fit securely within the clamp, so for sizes above 3/8-inch you should select a connector rated for the specific conduit dimension or use a separate junction box.
