Ceiling Grid Power Low Voltage DC Interconnects Innovative grid system interconnects distribute safe, low-voltage direct current (DC) power from power server modules to lighting fixtures, sensors, and other devices in the ceiling. Configuration flexibility meets the changing needs of spaces - enabling fast and easy reconfigurations without rewiring. The plug-and-play modularity allows for endless design options that can enhance and change with the functionality of your interiors.
