So, I finally got to actually install the Rapid-Run system in someones house and let me tell you people.... It couldn't have been any easier.

The entire entertainment system is connected as well as their Internet service and best of all, it was minimally invasive to the home due the the excellant cable structure of the rapid- run system.

A few small holes in out of the way places and pull the cabling through the walls to where we needed the outlets to be, then install the right end cable and Presto !! instant gratification. I was able to wire 5 rooms for Internet & Entertainment in no time at all.

 

If you want to bring your house into the 20th Century, you gotta try this system. You won't be dissapointed.

 

What RapidRun Is

RapidRun is the first interconnect system designed, from the ground up, to evolve with the components of your installation. Based upon our amazing MUVI™ system, short for Multi Use Versatile Interconnect™, RapidRun can handle whatever signal you need whenever and wherever you need it!

Incredible Flexibility -- Easily Customize Your System!

The RapidRun system consists of two runners and eight break-aways; you use two break-aways per each runner. Choose just what you need to create up to eight different configurations. The secret to RapidRun's incredible versatility lies in the runner. The runner is a core cable that can be connected to your choice of break-away interface connectors or break-away wall plates. Two runners are available; choose either plenum-rated CMP runners, or PVC runners for in-wall use in conduit:

(1) The PC/Video (UXGA) Runner designed primarily for presentation applications using a computer and projector or other large display. This cable provides three close-tolerance coaxial conductors with full, independent braided shielding and 4 twisted pairs. Basically, this runner can accommodate UXGA (HD15) computer, component video with left and right audio, S-video with left and right audio, or composite video with left and right audio signals. Choose from an HD15 termination, 5BNC termination, 5RCA termination, 2RCA and S-Video termination, or 3RCA termination.

(2) The HT (or 5-Coax) Runner designed primarily for audio/video applications such as a home theater installation or a multi-room A/V hookup. This cable provides five 75-ohm mini-coax conductors, each individually shielded and designed for maximum flexibility. This runner will support nearly any A/V signal from RGBHV to HDTV component video, from S-video AND component video on one easy pull (ideal for ceiling-mounted projectors!) to composite video and audio for basic distribution.

STEP 1: Choose Your Runner

Powerful Features Drive the Runner's Versatility:



>> Each runner features the RapidRun MUVI connector, a unique and proprietary example of form following function. The compact MUVI connector enables a lossless connection between the Runner and Break-Away, without compromising the characteristic impedance or fundamental properties of the interconnect design. The MUVI connector features a unique locking mechanism that is easily tightened from either the male or female termination.

>> Every runner cable includes two protective end caps with eye-loops. These end caps protect the MUVI connector contacts from the dirt, dust and detritus so common on any job site. Plus, the end caps are rated up to 15 foot-pounds of tension to provide an easy and safe connection point for pulling the Runner through conduit or construction framework.

>> Runners are available in CMP-rated plenum construction for commercial applications, or in CL2-rated UL listed PVC construction for residential installation.

>> Available lengths are 15, 25, 35, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 feet.

Once you've selected the right Runner for your job, you simply need to select the proper break-away terminators, truly the genius of the RapidRun line. With the same high specifications as the Runner, the 1.5-foot break-away will never compromise the integrity of the signal path. There are eight break-away terminations available in two simple options: Decora style wall plates or flying leads. There is no performance difference or installation penalty -- choose the connection that is right for you! Mix and match, there are no limitations with RapidRun! Break-away terminations are finished with a male MUVI connector for an instant and effortless connection to the Runner. Simply fit the connectors together (the connectors are keyed, so they can't be incorrectly attached) and tighten the knurled locking rings. It's that simple!

Color-Coding Makes Matching Runners and Break-Aways Simple

Each Break-Away is color-coded to match with appropriate Runners. There are a total of three colors. The Runners are color-coded blue for the HT Runner and yellow for the PC/Video Runner. Break-Away terminations are also color-coded in one of the three colors. Blue Break-Aways work with blue Runners. Yellow Break-Aways work with yellow Runners. Green Break-Aways are compatible with both yellow and blue Runners. Simply match the colors and you cannot make a mistake!

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 professionally terminated UXGA (HD15), component video, left/right audio, S-video, composite video, S/PDIF coaxial digital audio or even RGBHV full bandwidth component video! Any job can be done easier, faster and more efficiently with the RapidRun system -- any job! Choose any stock length from 15 to 150 feet, or order a custom length. We'll make it equally easy to wire the room next door or the room up one floor and down the hall!
