MK Electric has launched its new Prestige 3D range of three compartment trunking in aluminium. Combining the strength of the metal with gently curved aesthetics, and with either aluminium or PVC fittings, the range is well suited to commercial offices, educational facilities and laboratory applications.
The new trunking, which is available in both dado and skirting profiles, is manufactured from high precision extruded aluminium and offers a greater depth to cater for Cat 5e, 6 and 7 structured cabling. With the aluminium-PVC hybrid, the robustness of aluminium combines with the flexibility of PVC in the bends allowing these cables to be wired more easily.
With pre-drilled bases and hinged lids, the system is designed specifically for ease of installation, offering pre-punched oval holes at 100mm intervals, ensuring no drilling is required for wall fitting. Wiring is also made easier with 50mm x 21mm knockouts at 100mm intervals along compartment dividers, providing instant access to mounting boxes without drilling or cutting.
In addition, being aluminium, the trunking is corrosion resistant, lightweight and easy to cut on-site. Aluminium is also fire-resistant and will not emit smoke or toxic gases.
