Easier access to underfloor cables
Legrand has introduced 6 in versions of its access and cleaners’ grommets for underfloor power and data-cable services. They were developed in response to market changes, which mean the current 5 in solution is no longer the most suitable option. Steve Marr, marketing manager for the power-distribution business unit, explains, ‘Increased data requirements have led to more data cables being installed, while increased data speed has resulted in thicker cables.
‘Meanwhile, the 17th Edition need for RCD protection of sockets used by ordinary persons has meant that space in cleaners’ grommets is also at a premium.’
The new grommets provide the additional space required without having to use 8 in products.
The 6 in body enables an RCD socket to be mounted flat and still leave room to manipulate a moulded plug.
Selected products are available pre-wired to Electrak tap-offs. Features include spring-loaded screws for rapid installation and removable inlay for optional carpet fitting. Cable flaps allow for the permanent connection of services when the lid is closed.
