What it is
Panduit announces the launch of the first UL-certified Fault Managed Power System under Class 4 standards. The post emphasizes Panduit’s involvement in shaping the UL certification process itself, positioning the product as enabling compliant intelligent infrastructure deployment at scale.
Why it matters
UL certification for Class 4 power systems removes a critical code compliance barrier that has historically slowed AHJ approval for FMPS deployments. Electrical contractors and integrators can now specify and install certified Class 4 systems with clearer code compliance pathway, reducing project risk and approval timelines. This milestone establishes precedent for how intelligent power distribution will be tested and certified going forward.
