What is softwiring?

Softwiring is a modular, plug-and-play approach to power distribution that uses pre-terminated leads, connectors, GPO modules, desk power rails and cable-management to speed installation and make future reconfiguration simpler than traditional hard-wiring. Always use a licensed electrician where required by law and follow relevant Australian standards.
