Panduit VS-AVT-CABLE-16 VeriSafe 16 ft Replacement Cable
The Panduit VS-AVT-CABLE-16 is a 16-foot replacement cable designed specifically for the VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester (AVT) system. This cable connects VeriSafe system components during electrical safety verification procedures, enabling technicians to confirm circuits are de-energized before beginning maintenance or installation work. The 16-foot length provides extended reach from the tester to remote panels, switchgear, or equipment locations without requiring the technician to work directly adjacent to the electrical source.
Key Features
- 16-foot (4.88 m) cable length for extended reach to remote test points
- Purpose-built for Panduit VeriSafe AVT voltage testing systems
- Replacement cable maintains system accuracy and compliance after cable wear or damage
- Supports NFPA 70E and OSHA electrical safety work practice requirements
- Factory-terminated connections ensure reliable component integration
VeriSafe systems are deployed in environments where electrical work carries significant arc flash and shock hazards—data centers, industrial plants, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings with complex electrical distribution. The AVT tester verifies absence of voltage across all three phases plus neutral and ground before a qualified electrical worker begins tasks like breaker replacement, panel maintenance, or circuit modifications. The cable is a consumable component in this workflow: it experiences mechanical stress from repeated connections, exposure to work environments, and storage/transport between job sites. Maintaining a spare or replacing cables that show wear, jacket damage, or compromised strain relief is a basic reliability practice for any team using VeriSafe.
The 16-foot length strikes a balance between reach and manageability. It allows testing at height (overhead bus, rooftop equipment) or across a room (motor control center to disconnect) without excess cable creating snag hazards or clutter in the work zone. The cable integrates with the VeriSafe AVT base unit and optional accessories—grounding sticks, remote indicators, and phasing adapters—creating a complete absence-of-voltage verification system. Panduit specifies this cable by part number to ensure electrical characteristics (capacitance, insulation resistance, voltage rating) remain consistent with the tester's calibrated performance.
For facilities with lockout/tagout programs that reference NFPA 70E Section 120.5 (relationship between shock protection boundaries and PPE) or Article 110 (general requirements for electrical safety-related work practices), maintaining test equipment in serviceable condition is not optional. A damaged test cable can introduce false readings, compromise worker safety, or void the tester's certification. The VS-AVT-CABLE-16 is the factory-specified replacement, sold individually for single-unit service or in 10-piece cartons for fleet maintenance across multiple VeriSafe kits. Qualified electrical workers, facility maintenance teams, and industrial safety coordinators stock replacement cables alongside other consumable safety components—arc-rated PPE, voltage detector batteries, and grounding equipment—to ensure uninterrupted compliance with electrical safe work practices.
