End trim is consider a connector as is comes with the necessary bracket assembly for support at the end of a run. An S connector (straight) are available to fill parallel panel runs where one panel run has a connector and the other does not. An S connector is not required to join panels.
31. Cetra Stackable Connectors Page 32 There are three ways to order stack connectors which solve different planning solutions based on application. Stackable connector models include: Connector Connection bracketry Note: Top caps are not included. Top cap from base connector will be used. Order the connector to equal the stackable height. Order the connector to equal the height of both stacked units. Order the connector full height of the base and stack panel.
32. Cetra Hi-Lo Connector Page 33 Three and half key points for the specification. Of a hi-lo connector. 1. Direction of hi-lo. 2. Height of your drop. 3. Width of the lower panel. ½. If it is a connector-to-panel hi-lo you need to specify a new connector top cap located on page 100. End trim is 1” thick. Hi-lo Trim Kits Include: Vertical end trim Bracket Top cap for the lower panel
34. CetraApplication Guidelines for Stack Panels Page 26, 32, 35 Two stacks can be placed on top of one panel, the total height can not exceed 118”. Stack panels are load bearing. Stack must equal the same height on all sides of a stack connector. A hi-lo can not be located at a stack connector. A hi-lo can only be created in line with stack. One ATET bracket ships with each stack panel. Overheads cannot hang on wing wall.
35. Placing Stack in a 4-station cluster The person located in the lower left (chair) position will have stack added to there workstation.
36. Placing Stack in a 4-station cluster There are 3 possible solutions.
37. Placing Stack in a 4-station cluster Solution 1: Creates odd spaces that extends stack into other areas. 3-Way/ T Base Connector 3 Way/ T Stack Connector 4-Way/ X Base Connector 4-Way/ Stack Connector
38. Placing Stack in a 4-station cluster Solution 2: Least expensive solution however not ideal based on connector height as long as it is under 80” total height. 3-Way/ T Base Connector 4-Way/ X Base Connector
39. Placing Stack in a 4-station cluster Solution 3: Alternative solution that retains flexibility. 3-Way/ T Base Connector 2-way/ L Stack Connector 4-Way/ X Connector
40. How many ATET are used in this example? Think about how many stack panels you see in this example. How many stacks are at a connector? How many are left over?
41. ATET used in this example Did you count 4? Placement of ATET bracket.
42. Floor to Ceiling Applications Floor to ceiling top channel is available in 12’ lengths. It may be cut in width and depth in the field to the desired length. The height can be cut to a maximum of 2” given the channel is 4” tall. It is available in core finishes.
43. Cetra Power and Data Overview Page 36 Powered panels are shipped with an electrical distribution installed. Duplex receptacles are rated at 15 amps. 18” panels can be used to pass power to another however it cannot accept receptacles. Up to 4 duplex receptacles can be used in a powered panels and 8 in a mid-height electrical panel. Refer to page 67 for examples on the variety of jumpers used in a mixture of configurations.
44. Cetra Power Distribution Assemblies Page 37 Power Distributions match the same size as the panel and can be installed on a non-powered panel. There are two wire configurations available for matching building power, 8 and 10-wire. Imagse taken from installation instructions.
45. Cetra Jumpers Page 37 Jumpers are used to pass power from one panel to the next. 18” panels can pass power to an adjacent panel however it offer no power access. When an 18” is used in a t configuration one AEJ2 and one AEJ5 must be used to route power through a connector. Note mid-wire jumper examples on the right-hand side of the page.
46. Cetra Pass- Thru Page 37 A pass-thru is used in instances where you are continuing power from base to mid-height. Image taken from installation instructions.

Cetra panel system evolved from the acquisition of a company named Artec around 1980. This cornerstone to our product portfolio is what we believe is the strongest panel system in the industry.
Base waireways can accommodate (18) ¼” cables at 40% file and (44) 1/4” cables at 100%.
Solid hardboard center septum is covered with two densities of fiberglass and the selected fabric. 18” W panels can be used to pass power from one panel to another, but cannot accept receptacles. When specifying two grades of fabric on a panel the price of the panel is divided by the total cost.

The first panel width mid-height power needs a jumper to go from base to mid-height with an additional distribution specified. Jumper cables will displace one receptacle at base and mid-height. On panels that are 24” and 30” wide jumper cables can connect to at the same or opposite end of an AED. Panels that are 36” wider must have the jumper installed on the same side.
An extruded aluminum vertical power pole ships inside of the panel and attaches to the top of the panel with a top cap that is pre-cut. Any excess height telescopes into the ceiling or can be cut to size at the installation site.
Sectional tile heights include heights at 7”, 12”,19” and 24”. These panels can be used in combination to other panel types within Cetra without adapter brackets. The placement for tiles is determined based on the frame configuration.
Door, for the 80” Panels only. Bottom bracketry to secure the door is generated using the auto-connectors routine when a door is attached to a directional connector. Doors can not be hung on Y, V or Z connectors. Gates can not be hung on L, Y, V, Z, M or W connectors. The gate referenced on this page has been discontinued.
The advantage in using this panel is to not have any breaks in Traxx while connecting at any point without interuption.
V, Y and Z connectors cannot be used next to hinged doors. Power and data can be routed through connectors. M wall mount works with the thickness of Traxx. It offers no adjustment for out-of-plumb walls. W wall mount offers 5/8” lateral adjustment for out-of-plumb walls in addition to allowing for an adjacent door mount.
The hi-lo connector kits cannot be used next to a connector, a z or y connector or floor-to-ceiling channel.
Note the minimum wing chart on the right hand side of the page.
Overheads cannot be hung in a row of stackable panels where there is a hi-lo.
All sides of the stack connector must be counterbalanced. You cannot change height with a stack connector at a connector. Stack can only drop one height coming off of the stack connector at the first panel touching the stack connector.
18” panels are only available with non-punched wireway covers.
