What RapidRun™ is:

RapidRun is an award-winning interconnect system designed, from the ground up, to evolve with the components of your installation. Featuring an amazing connector technology and incredible flexibility, RapidRun is able to handle whatever signal you need wherever you need it; this versatility allows easy customization of any system.

The RapidRun system consists of three Runners and a collection of Break-Away termination options that function with specific Runners. Two Break-Aways are required for each Runner, one on both ends of the cable. The multiple combination options allow you to customize the system in order to create your desired configuration.

Installation jobs can be done easier, faster and more efficiently with the RapidRun system. With RapidRun, you can pull a multi-conductor cable with a small, secure connection through a tight space, and still retain the full functionality and performance of a professionally terminated installation! The design and flexibility of the RapidRun base cable allow it to fit through 3/4” conduit, even through a 90° sweep, while its durability allows it to withstand a maximum pull tension of 30 pounds. After installation, termination is a cinch. Simply connect the Break-Aways on each end, a process that takes only a few seconds, and the cable is instantly terminated to carry the signal.

RapidRun can also handle the changing needs and desires of installers and customers. For example, the job needed VGA, but just after completion, the customer changed his mind and now wants a product that requires a component video signal. Simply unscrew the Break-Away and replace it with a new connection option. In seconds, the cable has changed from carrying a VGA signal to component video. What amazing flexibility!

To ensure a Runner cable is terminated properly and will work in the appropriate fashion, RapidRun uses a color-code system. Runners have been colored yellow, blue, or red. Each Break-Away has been colored either yellow, blue, green (works with either blue or yellow), or red. The color-code system is in place to help users see which Break-Away is compatible with each Runner, and to prevent a failure of the system from guesswork. To further simplify the configuration process, two RapidRun Configurators have been developed. Each Configurator (one for original RapidRun and one for RapidRun Digital) will only allow a user to select Runners and Break-Aways that will be fully functional with each other to create a complete RapidRun system.

No cabling solution on the market will do more to make your installations easier or more versatile! This revolutionary design provides the greatest flexibility and the highest signal transfer rates possible.

    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. Below is a detailed description of each Runner option. Make your selection to meet the requirements of your installation.
