July 11, 2025
In today’s evolving commercial environments, safety and compliance are top priorities. With the increasing need for accessible, flexible and reliable power distribution solutions, Legrand has consistently delivered high-quality products that meet these demands.
One of the latest innovations in Legrand’s Connectrac product line is the Tamper-Resistant (TR) Receptacle Device, specifically designed to work with Express Kit and Flex raceways. The device not only ensures safety, but also enhances the overall functionality of these systems, especially in education and healthcare environments.
The Importance of Tamper-Resistance in Today’s Commercial Spaces
Tamper-resistant receptacles are more than just a code compliance requirement – they are essential to protecting both people and equipment. In environments where multiple users may interact with power outlets, such as offices, schools and healthcare facilities, tampering with electrical outlets can lead to serious safety risks. Foreign objects inserted into unprotected outlets can cause electric shocks, short circuits or fires.
The Connectrac Tamper-Resistant Receptacle Device helps mitigate these risks by providing an added layer of security. Designed to meet or exceed the safety standards set by the National Electric Code® (NEC), this device is built to protect against accidental or intentional tampering, fostering peace of mind for building owners, facility managers and end-users.
