Introducing the New Swivellink Metric Line

**SWIVELLINK® "METRIC LINE" HAS ARRIVED** Once again you asked and Swivellink® delivered! The Metric Line has arrived! We believe the metric line fills a void for many of our customers. Swivellink® Metric comes in a slick metallic gray color to easily distinguish inventory. This new color also looks very nice alongside most cameras, lights, and sensors. Our imperial line will still remain the eye-popping blue that you have come to know and love.                                             How the metric line differs from Swivellink's imperial line: • The ball size on the standard size links and base is 28.5mm •  All hardware is metric •  The links are in metric length •  Part numbers will start with SLM instead of AFSB INTERESTED IN A QUOTE OR MORE INFO?
