Installation
Cutting Track
DataTrack comes in standard lengths of 4 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft (121 cm, 243 cm, and 365 cm). These
pieces can be cut to custom length on site. In order to ensure proper performance, cut pieces should
be used at the end of a run of track with no feeds or couplers attached to the cut end. In cases where
a cut piece of track must be used with a coupler or feed accessory, please note the following:
• ETC recommends using a power miter saw with appropriate metal blade to cut the track.
• Cuts must be square and perpendicular to the track.
• Cuts should be made from the open side towards the top.
• Be careful to prevent the DMX wire from being dislodged from the track and/or deformed while
cutting the track. Test to confirm that the cut edge will properly fit into feed and splice pieces of
the track before proceeding with installation.
• Cuts should not be made on the labeled end of a piece of track.
• The minimum distance that the bus bar can be cut back from the edge of the track profile is
0.08 in (2 mm). The bus bar does not have to be moved out of the track profile.
• Use a file to remove burrs after cutting.
