Hanok Middle Connector 210cm Drop - White

This is the small white joiner that sits mid-run on a suspended fitting, taking the load of the cable without carrying any current. It stands 67mm tall and is finished in a plain white that reads as part of the cable rather than an addition to it. There is no lamp and no wiring involved; its job is purely mechanical, holding a length of suspension wire where you want it and letting the drop be set shorter or longer to suit the room. A wire is supplied with it.

We reach for it on the longer linear pendants in this range, where a run over a kitchen island, a dining table or a long desk needs to hang level and at a considered height. It suits anyone tidying a suspension that hangs too low over a worktop, or lifting a pendant clear of a sightline in an open-plan room. It is one we mention when a customer is working out heights before the fitting goes up, since the drop can be adjusted later without changing the pendant itself. It is an indoor accessory for ordinary dry rooms, a kitchen, office or hallway rather than anywhere open to the weather.

Finish is white throughout, plain enough to disappear against a pale ceiling and quiet enough beside a darker fitting if that is what you have. Dust it with a dry cloth when you clean the light above it, and keep polishes and solvents off the white. It carries a one year warranty. The linear pendants and ceiling lights it partners are offered in black and white, with sand brown on one of the pendants, so match it by eye to the fitting you have chosen. No lamp is needed here.

Does this part carry any current?

No. It is a non-electric component, so nothing is wired through it. Its only job is to hold and adjust the suspension cable.

How much drop adjustment does it allow?

The drop can be set anywhere between 100mm and 2100mm, which covers everything from a tight hang under a low ceiling to a long drop over a stairwell or high-ceilinged kitchen.

What size and weight is it?

The body measures 67mm in height and the piece weighs 0.13kg, so it adds very little to the load on a suspension.

Which fittings is it meant for?

It is intended for the suspended Hanok linear pendants, where it joins and adjusts the cable run mid-drop.

Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry indoor rooms only, away from damp and splashes.

How do I keep the white looking fresh?

A dry cloth is all it needs. Wipe it when you dust the fitting above and avoid cleaning sprays, which can dull the white.
