Choosing a Cord or Kit
| Option | Best fit | Selection check |
|---|---|---|
| Desco 14213 cord and snap kit | You need a 15-foot common point cord plus mat snap hardware | Mat material, attachment method, mating snap and electrical requirements |
| Common point cord alone | Your mat already has a suitable attachment | Exact connection type and cord specifications |
| Mat bundle | You also need the worksurface mat and other accessories | Check every included component; bundles differ |
Compatibility and Installation
Check both snap diameter and mating connection type. A 10 mm label alone does not establish compatibility, and the included stud and socket hardware does not mean every mat can be fitted without checking its construction. Follow Desco's current installation instructions and have qualified facility personnel identify and verify the designated grounding point. This kit does not replace a wrist strap or establish a complete ESD-control system by itself.
