Abstract

See full text

A system for suspending and powering an electrically-powered fixture, such as a luminaire, with a coaxial suspension cable, and for attaching the fixture to the cable and to a structure, such as a ceiling, using at least one cable gripping devices, such that the height of the fixture may be adjusted. The suspension cable may comprise an inner cable, which may include a plurality of strength strands wound around a conductive strand; and an outer conductor, such as a copper mesh, separated from the inner cable by an insulator layer. The system may include an assembly mounted to the structure and an assembly mounted to the fixture, each assembly configured to grip the inner cable at one end of the suspension cable and to allow a first conductive path to the inner cable and a second conductive path, insulated from the first conductive path, along the outer conductor.
