Today, in the modern dynamically developing world of electrical products, one of the places of honor is occupied by such a product as cable box. In cross section, the product has the form of a U-shaped profile with a lid included. Range overall dimensions quite diverse from W15 x D15 to W500 x D100 mm, in sections with a standard length of 2 m for ease of transportation and installation. The temperature range of application varies from - 40°C to + 120°C.
Structurally the boxes are made:
Solid without holes, with notches to facilitate the design and fastening of cables and wires, with holes for attaching additional accessories and connecting sections to each other;
Perforated, with different sizes of teeth and distance between them;
- cable channels with the possibility of installing modules of electrical installation products in them.
Solid boxes are mainly used for laying cables and wires - power, control, fiber optic, telephone and systems fire alarm. When laying cables of different voltage classes in one box, it is structurally provided additional option – longitudinal partition. When laying cables and wires in vertically installed boxes, special clamps are optionally provided; if necessary, fastening to the structure can be done with ordinary ones.
Perforated box used to route electrical wires and cables inside shields And cabinets when performing electrical installation work. On the inside of the box there are specially made notches with which you can simply remove the teeth and walls of the box without the appearance of burrs and without using a special tool. Along the edges of the box, the teeth are made with a slight rounding for easier routing of electrical cables and wires; there are also holes, the purpose of which during installation is to secure electrical cables and wires. Aesthetically it looks decent, speeds up installation and makes it easier.
Cable channels (boxes) can be used to perform electrical installation work in industrial, office and domestic premises as cable-supporting skirting boards, And traditional boxes. Electrical installation products of various standards can be mounted above the channel, and directly on the channel, with the help of additional accessories. When installing cables and organizing workplaces, in large areas, as well as in rooms where electrical wiring is laid under the floor, floor mounting systems are used. So cable channels given a streamlined shape and high strength.
In the modern world, it is difficult to imagine any object being built or reconstructed, ground or air, movable or not, in which they would not find application cable channels.
IEK cable channels are made of plastic and are designed for quick and convenient installation of wires in premises. They are made from durable, non-flammable and impact-resistant PVC, which allows you to organize the laying of cables even in aggressive environments, for example, laying street communications or organizing the connection of an air conditioner. The cable channels of the Elekor series are presented, used for laying main communications in office, administrative, residential buildings and industrial facilities. They are distinguished by ease of installation due to the presence of perforations for fastening with self-tapping screws, a rough surface that allows the use of “liquid nails” and increased resistance to bending. Elekor cable channels are durable and preserve appearance even with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The channels are connected to each other using a special box, into which a socket can also be mounted.
Cable channels Elekor
The Elekor series also includes floor and baseboard cable ducts designed for laying cables in office and administrative buildings. These can be low-current and power cables for organizing employee workplaces or in government and medical institutions. Taking into account the experience of organizing employee workplaces and the specifics of “office” activities, cable channels have additional insulation of electrical wiring to eliminate cases of damage electric shock, and also allow you to limit unauthorized access to wiring. To preserve the appearance, a protective film is applied to the channels, which is removed after completion of installation work.
The IEK assortment also includes cable channels with a natural wood texture, which allows not only to organize reliable cable laying in country houses and cottages, but also without disturbing the appearance of the interior of the room. There are two versions - oak and pine, the texture of which is applied to the products using thermal printing technology.
Cable Channels Primer
The Primer series of cable channels includes products for building structured cable systems in office and administrative buildings. These products are distinguished by the presence of large space for cables, the ability to distinguish between power and low-current cables and the possibility of simple installation without the use of tools.
The IEK group of companies is engaged in the manufacture and sale of various products for energy supply of any facilities. The Elekor cable channels produced by this company have become very popular due to their price/quality ratio. Let's figure out whether there are reasons to trust the manufacturer.
Certificates
Until recently, IEK proudly presented certificates for all its products on its official website, but now this section shows a 404 error and there is no way to view them. The support service does not say why this information is now closed.
Section "Certificates" on the official website of the IEK company
This means that if you need certificates of compliance of Elekor cable channels with the requirements of the Russian Federation or the EU, you will have to request them separately from the IEK representative offices, which is not very convenient.
General characteristics
- Elekor cable channels are made of self-extinguishing PVC;
- Operating temperature range – from -15 °C to +60 °C;
- Wall thickness from 0.7 mm to 2.4 mm depending on size;
- The cable channel cover can be removed without the use of additional equipment;
- Channel length – 200 cm
Range
The Elekor series includes regular and trunk cable channels in white and with oak and pine textures. Each of these series contains more than 130 items of various accessories (turns, extensions, partitions, etc.), allowing you to solve any problem with external cable routing, connecting switches and sockets in the right places.
Cable channels "oak" and "pine"
For textured cable channels, corresponding internal and external corners, connectors, couplings, partitions, and plugs of the same color are provided. This allows you to make all the wiring in the same color. The texture is applied using thermal printing, so the paint does not fade or wear off over time.
Price
Comparison table of costs and Elekor. The sizes of the channels and accompanying fittings do not match, so the most popular sizes are used as an example.
Cost of cable channel Elekor (left) and Legrand (right)
The table shows the cost white channel cable. Unlike Legrand, Elekor offers two more colors, “oak” and “pine,” so from an aesthetic point of view, channels from IEK are preferable.
Calculate the required section
To calculate the required channel size, you need to know the total number and cross-section of wires along with insulation. Knowing this, find the required Elekor cable channel in the table:
Internal useful cross-section of cable channels
Related fittings (corners, connectors, etc.) Elekor have the same throughput, like a cable channel.
When designing, it is considered advisable to fill the cable channel with no more than 40-45% for the purpose of possible further modification, connection of additional power sources and the need to lay other switching lines.
In order not to calculate on your own how many cable threads you can run through a particular channel, use the table below:
