Power and Communication Systems

What Power and Communication Systems does

Power and Communication Systems (PAC Systems) is a privately held U.S. manufacturer founded in 2004 and headquartered in La Vergne, Tennessee, where it designs and fabricates modular wiring systems for the electrical contracting industry. Its core offering is the Plug-N-Go Modular Wiring System, a platform of pre-assembled, keyed, and color-coded components intended to reduce installation time, prevent wiring errors, and enable easy future modification in commercial and industrial power and lighting distribution. The product catalog spans commercial components (PC-D distribution box connectors, PC-LW lighting whip cables, PC-LR lighting cables, PC-S switch modules, PC-E extender cables, PC-FS fixture connectors, PC-SPL splitter modules), industrial variants (PC-DB, PC-ILC, PC-FSC, PC-IFCS, PC-PD, PC-FW), and service poles and custom power strips, with UL-listed safety architecture and dead-front construction. Keyed connectors, positive locking clips, and color-coded voltage identification are repeated design features.

The company generates revenue through hardware sales of these modular wiring components and pre-assembled systems, distributed through a U.S. sales representative network and direct factory sales contacts, with quote-based pricing. Operations are concentrated at a single 25,000 sq ft facility in La Vergne, TN, from which it ships to most U.S. jobsites within 3-5 days and supports rush orders at maximum capacity. Its customer base spans retailers, schools, warehouses, and manufacturing and industrial sites, with application areas including commercial lighting, industrial hi-bay lighting, convenience power, emergency exit circuits, and raised access floor power. The company also offers replacement and expansion components compatible with legacy Sentinel Lighting Wiring Systems and Dual-Lite EZ-Flex installations, monetizing the installed base of earlier-generation modular wiring systems.

Broad incumbents

• Atkore (AFC Cable Systems): Atkore, through its AFC Cable Systems brand, is a major manufacturer of armored cable and pre-fabricated wiring assemblies for commercial and industrial applications. It competes in the same modular/assembled power distribution space as PAC, but at significantly greater scale.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric offers a broad portfolio of wiring devices, power distribution components, and commercial/industrial electrical solutions. Its product breadth and global reach make it an incumbent competitor across many of PAC's commercial and industrial use cases.
• Leviton: Leviton is a major manufacturer of wiring devices, connectors, and commercial/industrial electrical products. Its modular wiring and pre-fab assemblies compete with PAC's Plug-N-Go offering for similar commercial contractor customers.
• Hubbell Incorporated: Hubbell is a broad electrical products incumbent that manufactures wiring devices, connectors, and modular/branch wiring solutions used in commercial and industrial construction. It overlaps with PAC's commercial and industrial modular wiring offering but across a much wider portfolio.
• Eaton: Eaton manufactures a broad range of electrical distribution products including wiring devices, connectors, and modular power distribution systems used in commercial and industrial facilities. It serves the same end customers as PAC from a much larger platform.
• ABB (Thomas & Betts): ABB, including the Thomas & Betts product family, makes electrical components, connectors, and modular wiring solutions for commercial and industrial installations. It overlaps with PAC's connector and modular wiring product lines as a much larger incumbent.
• Southwire: Southwire is one of North America's largest wire and cable manufacturers and offers assembled wire products, lighting whips, and modular cable systems used in commercial and industrial construction. It is comparable to PAC as a domestic manufacturer of pre-fabricated wiring products.

Emerging players

• Bridgeport Fittings: Bridgeport Fittings manufactures electrical fittings, connectors, and accessories used alongside modular and pre-fab wiring systems. It is an adjacent/niche competitor in the same contractor channel as PAC, though it focuses more on fittings and connectors than complete modular wiring systems.

Direct peers

• Legrand (Wiremold): Legrand's Wiremold product line is one of the most established modular/preset wiring systems for commercial lighting and power distribution. It directly competes with PAC's Plug-N-Go in the same product category and customer base (commercial and industrial contractors).

Others

• Caddy/Erico (nVent): nVent's Caddy and Erico brands provide electrical fastening, support, and grounding products used in commercial and industrial wiring installations. They are adjacent to PAC's modular wiring business as ecosystem/enabling products rather than direct competitors.
