How does Class 2 DC Power reduce hospital construction costs?

Class 2 DC power lowers hospital construction costs by removing the requirement for steel conduit, junction boxes, and mechanical protection. That delivers approximately 60% reduction in cabling costs alongside a faster electrical rough-in schedule.

Because Class 2 wiring stays inherently below hazardous voltage and current thresholds (per UL 1310 and the NEC), it's exempt from the raceway rules that govern line-voltage AC. On Cence projects that typically compresses the electrical schedule by weeks, reduces skilled-electrician hours on site, and frees ceiling plenum space for mechanical work.
