OneTrack Backbone
T-coupler Housing
OneTrack Backbone
T-coupler Housing
with Pull Box
OneTrack Backbone T-coupler Housing is an
enclosure for the OneTrack T-coupler when used
with OneTrack Backbone. The T-coupler Housing is
available with or without a pull box. Although the
images show the T-coupler Housing without the pull
box, the installation steps are the same for both
models.
Separate installation and wiring instructions are
provided with the T-coupler. For information on
planning a complete OneTrack system, see the
OneTrack by ETC and OneTrack Backbone System
