Fully customizable communication ports

GracePorts are communication ports that allow workers to access control panels easily through closed doors, which eliminates the risk of contamination to the panel. Thru-door access enhances compliance to NFPA 70E / CSA Z462 as well as global electrical safety standards. Our ability to fully customize your GracePort® to meet your precise needs means never having to compromise safety.

Components

Varieties of components are available and can be paired together in your fully customizable GracePort®. Whether you need something as common as an RJ45 or as unique as a DVI female-to-female feed-thru bulkhead, Grace Engineered Products can design and create a GracePort® that fits your precise need.

Housing size and UL ratings

Whether you need 304 or 316 Stainless Steel, Surface Mount, or our Thru-View® panel mount housing, our housings are all UL rated.

GracePort Hazardous Location Housing

The Hazardous Location GracePort (M7) is intended for environments where the user must do a “sniff test” and typically obtain a “Hot Work Permit” before opening the enclosure. Computer access ports and specific network solutions are available for Ethernet, DeviceNet, Data Highway Plus, Modbus Plus, Profibus, Fipway and others. The housing is especially well suited for use with the GracePort Low Profile Circuit Board for ease of field wiring.

Housings only meet both domestic and international code requirements.

Class I, Div. 1 & 2, Groups A,B,C,D

Class I, Zones 1 & 2, Groups IIB +H2, IIA

GracePort Stainless Steel Housing (Non-UL)

NEW GracePort #304 Stainless Steel JB7 Housing protects all the components, circuit breakers and power options featured on our fully customizable GracePort. The durable design mounts securely to the outside of an enclosure and provides protection for valuable components from dust, dirt, oil, water, and other environmental contaminants found in highly corrosive industrial settings.

The JB7 Stainless Steel Housing features a low profile ideal for tight spots, tool entry with a quarter-turn latch and padlock ability for restricted access.

GracePort Stainless Steel UL Type 4X Housing

Keep stainless steel enclosures closed with the #304 or #316 stainless steel GracePort® interface. Grace offers thousands of combinations of cables, connectors, and outlets, all available to ship in days!

The M5 & M6 Stainless Steel Housings are UL Recognized and are the perfect solution for enclosures with limited space. The extended profile on the M5 & M6 Housings accommodates for any additional component wiring within the electrical enclosure. A padlock-able door with a screw-down clamp provides tool access for qualified personnel.

Power/Circuit Breaker

We have various power options for international and domestic use available. Because circuit breakers offer the ability to limit what devices can be run through the GracePort, we offer different amperages to fit your exact need.
