Cooper Wiring Devices

About Cooper Wiring Devices

Cooper Wiring Devices carries one of the most storied legacies in the electrical industry. The brand's origins trace back to 1891, when the company that would become Arrow Hart began manufacturing industrial wiring components in Connecticut — just nine years after the first commercial electrical generating plant came online. Eagle Electric followed in 1920, and the merger of these two pioneering firms eventually gave rise to Cooper Wiring Devices as it is known today.

Over the decades, Cooper Wiring Devices grew into a comprehensive electrical solutions provider, absorbing well-known brands such as Arrow Hart, Eagle Electric, ArrowLink, Aspire, and RhinoBox. In 2012, Cooper Industries — the parent of Cooper Wiring Devices — was acquired by Eaton Corporation, a global leader in intelligent power management headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Under Eaton's umbrella, Cooper Wiring Devices continues to serve residential, commercial, and industrial markets with the same engineering rigor that built its century-long reputation.

What Cooper Wiring Devices Makes

Cooper Wiring Devices specializes in a broad range of electrical wiring components designed to connect, protect, and control electrical power safely and reliably. Their lineup includes receptacles and outlets (including GFCI and tamper-resistant models), switches and dimmers, locking devices, plugs and connectors, wallplates, cord sets, and industrial-grade pin-and-sleeve devices. The brand's Specification Grade receptacles are engineered for demanding industrial, institutional, and commercial environments where long-term reliability and low maintenance are critical.

For residential and light commercial applications, product lines like Aspire bring together style and functionality — offering decorator-style switches, outlets, and dimmers in a range of finishes. For heavy-duty industrial environments, the Arrow Hart line of pin-and-sleeve IEC 60309 devices delivers rugged, internationally standardized connections suitable for food and beverage processing, wastewater treatment, and other demanding facilities.
