Line8 · Specification Reference
One code is the whole specification.
Line8 is three track systems — SL, R, and TL. Everything else is a configuration of one of them: length, finish, terminal side, lighting, and the modular adaptor ecosystem. Every configuration resolves to a single order code you can write straight into a drawing schedule.
Why it exists
The code is the specification.
A Line8 track is made to order — cut to the millimetre, hand-finished, and built up from a modular set of adaptors and accessories. That flexibility means there is no fixed catalogue of stock numbers to point at. The order code solves this: it encodes every choice into one parseable string, so a single grammar describes any track we can make.
For a specifier, that means Line8 can be written into a schedule, an RFQ, or a drawing the same way any standard catalogue part number is — without needing a stock list. The code travels with the product through quoting, ordering, warranty registration and service. It is the stable identifier for a made-to-order product.
The grammar
How the code is built.
The code reads left to right in a fixed order. Each part answers one question about the track. When an option isn't chosen, its part is simply left out — so SL is a Surface Light track with no lighting, and SL-rgb is the same track with smart lighting.
| Part | Answers | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Which of the three systems | SL |
| Lighting | Ambient lighting type (omit for none) | w |
| Length | Track length in millimetres | 1000 |
| Terminal | Which end the power feed enters | R |
| Finish | One of 11 finishes | Bk |
| n× Accessory | Quantity + accessory faceplate(s) | 1xCat6 |
| n× Adaptor | Quantity + adaptor, series, body, ring | 2xUKS-1BlackDS |

For specifiers
Writing Line8 into a schedule.
Because the order code is a complete specification, it can be written directly into a drawing schedule, bill of quantities, or RFQ. A typical schedule line reads:
