Visionstar CA-16

Shops that sell eyewear by brand are the ones the CA-16 is built for. An optical practice with five or six key labels can give each its own column, so a customer who wears one name goes straight to it. Sunglass specialists and department store concessions do the same with fashion houses, and a practice that adds a new label can give it a column on the day the stock arrives. Sixteen arms, as photographed, give room for a label's main styles with colour variants beneath, and the face-on position shows the logo details on fronts and temples that brand buyers look for.

Branded stock is worth protecting. The British Retail Consortium's survey published in March 2025 put the cost of customer theft to UK retailers at £2.2bn for the year. A lock on each brand column answers that, at a price in convenience. Of the 5,000-plus US shoppers surveyed by Numerator in 2024, 27% said they would leave or switch store on meeting locked products, while 62% said they usually wait for staff. A customer who has come for a particular label has a reason to wait.

Fit also depends on the room. A long column needs ceiling height and a sound wall, and the lowest arms should stay within reach of seated customers under the Equality Act 2010 and the reach guidance in BS 8300-2. Brand owners sometimes set display standards of their own, and retail groups add fit-out specifications. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

A column for each label

One rod carries one brand from top to bottom. Customers find the name they want without searching the wall.

Room for a full range

The photographed rod has sixteen arms. A label's main styles and their colour variants can share one column.

Face-on view of brand details

Each frame lies across its arm, square to the customer. Logos, hinges and front shapes are on show.

Clear brand blocking across a wall

Rods side by side divide a wall into brand columns. The arrangement is easy for staff to maintain and for customers to read.

Security for sought-after stock

The key lock at the foot protects the whole column. Stock that customers ask for by name is kept on view and under control.

Works with brand display guides

One frame per arm gives fixed positions. A supplier's display guide can be followed arm by arm.

Large frames pictured on the arms

The catalogue photograph shows large sunglasses on the CA-16. Buyers can see how statement frames sit before they order.

Unpowered and simple to keep

No electrical parts means no wiring or testing. Upkeep is a check of the brackets, arm tips and lock.

Sixteen cross-arms in the photograph

The CA-16 is photographed with sixteen arms. The written configuration states the definitive count and spacing.

Curved arms with dark tips

Arms extend both sides of the tube and end in dark tips.

Slim central tube

The tube rises above the top arm and continues below the lowest arm to the lock.

Marked strip beside the arms

The photograph shows a strip of marks running along the tube next to the arms.

Lock housing at the foot

A lock housing with a key sits at the bottom of the tube. A close-up shows it clamped round the tube.

Buffer

A cushioning part named in the series title, located in the fitting instructions.

Two stand-off brackets

Bracket arms with round wall plates hold the rod away from the wall near the top and near the bottom.

Photographed with large sunglasses

Two pairs of large dark sunglasses sit across arms in the picture.

Unpowered

There is no lighting or wiring.

Ten rods per carton

The carton measures 1450 × 230 × 210 mm, about 0.070 m³.

Carton weight of 19 kg

The sheet lists 19 kg for the carton of ten.

Sleeved packing

The packing photograph shows rods in individual sleeves.

Keys, finish and fixings

Keys supplied, finish and any fixings are listed in the written configuration.

The CA-16 suits optical practices, sunglass specialists and concessions that sell by brand and have labels with enough styles to fill a long column. Its case is fit: a photographed sixteen-arm rod that gives one name a place of its own, shown face-on and locked at the foot. It suits shops with many small ranges less well, and it is wrong for self-service, discount lines and low ceilings. Before ordering, settle how many styles each label will show, the arm width against the widest frames, and the ceiling height at each position. Medigear.uk lists the CA-16 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Ask the enquiry team for the rod length, the arm count and spacing, the arm width and the fitting instructions before ordering.
