Pinnacle offers CIRCULAR CAGES AND CAGE ACCESSORIES designed to allow rodents to freely move around a cage while connected to a tether. All cages are made of 1/4" clear acrylic and are suitable for use with most commercial cage washing equipment. Multiple cage sizes are available. See chart below for details.
ALUMINUM MOUNTING PLATES are ideal for attaching data acquisition systems, swivels, and video cameras above the cage. Two sizes are available, 14", 18" (35,5, 45,7 cm).
CAGE LIDS allow for additional containment of active animals. The design provides security without compromising natural cable movement. Lids can be easily removed for cleaning and feeding.
CAGE EXTENDERS increase the height of our standard cages as an additional way to contain active animals. The extenders fig snugly on top of Pinnacle's cages and add 4" (10,2 cm) per extension to cage height.
CIRCULAR CAGES allow the animal to move freely around the circumference of the cage without creating too much slack in the cable. The open top makes cleaning and feeding easy and accessible. Three cage sizes are available.
CAGE STANDS accommodate a single animal cage and mounting plate. The standard stand's split design makes it compatible with both mouse and rat cages and all of Pinnacle's tethered recording systems. There are two stand options. They are adjustable to 24" (61 cm) and 36" (91,4 cm) tall.

Low-torque commutators are available for mice and rats. Commutators are mounted above the cage, which allows for unencumbered freedom of movement.
