The PB-5115 is a coupling kit that joins two predrilled pole halves into a single 4" pedestrian pole assembly, with overall heights ranging from 8 to 14 feet. Rather than shipping a full-length pole as oversized freight, the two halves travel separately and connect on-site using six set screws and a single tool. The coupler is designed for common SCH 40 ped pole wall thickness, accommodates internal wiring from both directions, and works with both threaded and slip-top bases. What makes it genuinely different from a standard coupling solution is the structural performance: the junction at the coupler exceeds the strength of a typical base-to-pole connection, so the mid-pole joint is never the weak point in the assembly.

We're thrilled to announce that the Pelco TB2N1 Transformer Base has been successfully validated through MASH 2016 crash testing. Our TB2N1 was included in a complete assembly (a 25-foot luminaire pole with a 10-foot arm and transformer base) that passed all three levels of MASH testing. This certification represents a significant commitment to crashworthy design and the safety of the infrastructure professionals who depend on our products.

When specifying traffic signal infrastructure, the terms "transformer base" and "foundation" are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Each component serves a distinct purpose, and understanding how they work together can save time during design, streamline installation, and ensure your project meets safety and compliance standards from the start.
