About Us
The Story of Squidlite™
Squidlite™ got its roots going back over 44 years ago when Jim Kraft invented the original squid cabling system, way back before being a squid was cool!
Back then, Jim invented one of the world’s first segmented high performance data cabling systems but something was missing. It worked great except it was hard to manage. You see, segmented cabling was made to move and to be flexible, but when you moved it, you couldn’t find it.
After awhile, Jim had a genius idea. He put an identification light on the system and oh my how things have changed. That little flashing light allowed us to build mobile systems, make modular furniture modular again, and drastically reduce the cost of wiring up your office.

What Everyone is Saying About the SQ-iD
It (SQ-iD) just makes sense. Why wouldn’t you use it?
“This is so easy my dog could probably figure it out, but my 8 year old, no problem. We have 3 buildings with this system installed, and this will be in our 4th. ”
This is awesome!
“Anyone who has spent half a day looking for a patch panel port in the closet will immediately know the value of the SQ-iD.”
A big time saver!
“No more climbing into my car for a 3 hour drive that my terminal manager can now do in 5 minutes (successfully I might add).”
Simply genius!
“I can stand 10 feet away at the door of my server closet and know exactly the outlet I’m looking for. Even with the lights out. Out of curiosity, I asked 2 plumbers clearing a drain line if they could figure out which outlet it was. They did and went back to clearing the drain line. ”
Highly recommended!
“We probably spend monthly on service calls, lost time and lost productivity not to mention the frustration associated with trying to manage our data cabling for what the SQ-iD costs.”
We now have a consistent labeling scheme.
“With 14 locations across 5 states and a different installation company at every location we end up with 14 different labeling schemes. The SQ-iD will mean 14 labeling schemes that are all exactly the same that any of our employees can figure out.”
This will save a lot of time!
"No more unplugging the computer and trying to figure out which link light went out on the switch. That ought to save a lot of time."
We use the SQ-iD system in multiple locations.
"We put our first SQ-iD system at our distribution center. We now have it in 2 of our stores. If it didn’t work, we wouldn’t keep putting it in."
Doesn't get any easier than this!
"The best thing is the extensive user manual. Just plug it in and look for the flashing green light. Doesn’t get any easier than this."
