Frequently asked questions

What is Softwiring?
Softwiring revolutionises traditional hardwiring methods with its innovative plug-and-play
system. By utilising an interconnecting modular backbone, Softwiring enables
seamless and tool-less installation across the ceiling, workstation, and floor.
Softwiring includes the use of products such as Power
Rails
, Cable Baskets & Cable Trays, GPO Power Modules, In-Desk Boxes, Interconnecting Leads, Umbilical Cords and Starter Sockets, transforming the building and construction industry and the everyday workplace.
Firstly, Softwiring enhances flexibility and modularity, allowing for effortless customisation and reconfiguration of workstation power distribution.
Unlike traditional hardwiring, Softwiring promotes easy reuse of wiring during workspace modifications, significantly reducing material waste associated with renovations or expansions. This environmentally conscious approach not only
minimizes waste but also contributes to cost savings, making Softwiring a
cost-effective solution.
Another key advantage of Softwiring is its time-saving installation process. With plug-and-play functionality, on-site installation becomes efficient and streamlined, saving valuable time and boosting productivity. This
is particularly valuable in fast-paced environments where quick setup and reconfiguration are essential.

Softwiring also offers architects and designers and facility managers maximum flexibility for future expansion ensuring adaptability as business needs evolve.

What are the advantages of Softwiring?
- Quicker installation: Softwiring is a plug-and-play system that does not require any tools, making it much quicker to install than traditional hardwiring methods. This can save businesses a significant amount of time and money on installation costs.
- Safer installation: Softwiring connectors are pre-terminated and pre-tested, which eliminates the risk of electrical faults. This makes softwiring a much safer option than traditional hardwiring, which can be prone to electrical hazards.
- More sustainable: Softwiring is a more sustainable option than traditional hardwiring because it is reusable. This means that businesses can save money on materials and waste by reusing softwiring leads and outlets.
- More flexible: Softwiring is a more flexible option than traditional hardwiring because it can be easily reconfigured. This makes it a good choice for businesses that need to be able to change their workspace layout frequently.
- More cost-effective: Softwiring is a more cost-effective option than traditional hardwiring in the long run. This is because it saves businesses money on installation costs, electrical hazards, and waste.
Overall, softwiring is a more efficient, safer, and sustainable option than traditional hardwiring. It is a good choice for businesses that are looking for a reliable and versatile solution for workspace devices.
How does Softwiring Work?
Softwiring uses male and female connectors on the end of every cable, including interconnecting leads, starter leads with 3-pin plug, and power rails.
The connectors are designed so that they can only be connected to each other, ensuring correct installation.
What is a Starter Socket used for?
The Starter Socket is one option to start the Softwiring circuit which has a female terminal allowing for an interconnecting lead connection.
Can I plug Softwiring into a wall socket?
Generally speaking yes, we offer a lead with a 3-pin plug terminated on one end and a female connector on the other that then allows you to continue cascading with Softwiring Products.
Refer to a qualified electrician for further advice if unsure.
Is Softwiring safe?
Yes certainly, Softwiring is a safe and reliable way to connect Softwiring products.
The connectors use an interlocking connection clipping system to ensure a safe and secure connection.
Softwiring products are certified to current commercial and domestic Australian standards.
Where can I buy Softwiring:

Softwiring products can be purchased online at The Softwiring Shop, we offer the most comprehensive range and offer volume order discounts.

What are the maintenance requirements for softwiring systems?
Softwiring systems are generally low-maintenance. However, it is important to inspect the system regularly for any signs of damage or wear. If any damage is found, it should be repaired or replaced immediately.
How do I choose the right softwiring system for my needs?
The best way to choose the right softwiring system for your needs is to consider the following factors:
- The size of the project
- The type of devices that will be plugged into the system
- The budget
- The desired aesthetic
Can Softwiring be customised to my requirements?

Yes certain products can be designed specifically to your requirements.

Email us at enquiry@thesoftwiringshop.com.au or Contact Us for further assistance.

How long does it take to install Softwiring?
The installation time for softwiring varies depending on the size of the project and the type of softwiring system that is used.
However, softwiring is typically quicker to install than traditional hardwiring.
What is the difference between hardwiring and Softwiring?
Hardwiring and Softwiring are two different ways of connecting electrical devices.
Hardwiring is a physical connection between two devices by terminating a live wire into a terminal wheras Softwiring is a logical connection using pre-terminated male to female plug and play connectors.

With hardwiring, the two devices are connected by a physical wire. This type of connection is more permanent and less flexible than softwiring.

Softwiring is more flexible and easier to change than hardwiring. As Softwiring is modular it is also more cost effective to reconfigure and as such is has more environmental sustainability benefits.
What is the cost of softwiring?
The cost of Softwiring varies depending on the size of the project and the type of Softwiring system that is used.
To get an accurate project cost we recommend to select your products and add them to your cart. Then continue to the checkout to see the final order cost which will include any order discounts achieved.
How do I troubleshoot Softwiring problems?
If you are having problems with your softwiring system, here are a few things you can check:
- Make sure that the connectors are properly connected.
- Make sure that the outlets are properly installed.
- Make sure that the power is turned on.
- Make sure the cables havn't been damaged. DO NOT TOUCH ANY CUT OR DAMAGED CABLE!
How do I disconnect Softwiring connectors?
To disconnect softwiring connectors, simply push the release button on the female connector and pull the connectors apart.
Is CMS Softwiring compatible with other systems?
Unfortunately not.

When ordering products through The Softwiring Shop to add to your current Softwiring network, ensure the connectors are the same as your current systems by checking the imprinted labels on your connectors.
