Cable ties - Do you want to hold lines, cables or other everyday things together, lash them down, fix them, connect them to each other - temporarily or for life? Cable ties are often a quick and very inexpensive solution. The selection of inexpensive and stable cable ties at eibabo® is huge. Here you can find out something about the history, areas of application and the properties of individual materials.Cable ties can be used universally and have become indispensable in our daily lives. These are handy, inexpensive and above all very versatile. Cable ties are used in the office, at home, on the go, when camping, as well as in trade and industry. But where does this useful everyday helper actually come from?The history of the cable tieCable ties originated in the United States of America. A cable tie was first patented there in the 1950s and was originally intended for fastening telephone cables.Already knew?The cable tie was born on October 1, 1954. On this day, the American George M. Rapata filed the corresponding patent in his name. This makes him the inventor of the cable tie.The first models were still made of metal. The further development and the commercial establishment of this idea is attributed to a Mr. Maurus S. Logan from the company Thomas & Betts. With the beginning of the industrial processing of plastics, this electrical company was able to produce the 'Ty-Rap'. The idea for the 'Ty-Rap' came to Logan in 1956 while visiting a Boeing airplane factory. At that time, the electrical wiring of the aircraft was still very complicated. Miles of wires were laid on long sheets of plywood and tied in place with waxed braided nylon cord. In view of this enormously lengthy manual work, Logan was convinced that there had to be a simple, durable and above all faster alternative. Over the next few years, Logan experimented with different tools and materials. On June 24, 1958, the 'Ty-Rap' cable tie was patented and marketed. In the decades that followed, the cable tie established itself more and more as a general means of attachment and thus found its way into almost all areas of everyday life.Flexible usageThe principle of the cable tie as a self-locking loop is even used in surgery. In this way, doctors fix broken bones or tie off vessels.Today there is hardly a household without cable ties. Whether for bundling power cables, fixing plants or as creative handicraft material - the possible uses are almost unlimited.Are there reusable cable ties?Cable ties are very inexpensive. The excess end is usually cut off after installation. This is why cable ties are usually disposable. However, there are some models that are reused.What types of cable ties are there?Cable ties differ in appearance and material. This results in different characteristics in terms of possible uses and durability. Among others, the following cable ties are widely used:Disposable cable ties:This is the classic cable tie. One end is pushed through the ratchet on the other end. This connection cannot be loosened again. To release the binding, the cable tie must be cut. Instead of a ratchet, there are also other self-locking systems, for example a clamping ball on metal cable ties.Bead Cable Ties:The design resembles a pearl necklace. The beads are threaded through a hole/two holes at the other end of the cable tie and hook into a taper of the respective hole. This holding connection is not as secure as with other models. A bead cable tie can be used again and again for this. This type of cable tie also comes in other designs, such as a herringbone or ladder shape.Multiple Cable Ties:Reusable cable ties have either a locking release feature (push button, rocker release, clip style) or a removable ratchet.Cable ties with marking:These models have flags or solid areas for written or printed identificationDouble loop cable ties:Here the ratchet sits in the middle and both ends can be pulled through the middle to form a loop.What special shapes are there for cable ties?In addition to the different types, there are also some special forms that are optimized for specific areas of application. Some cable ties have an eyelet or a fastening hole on the ratchet and can be attached to the ground with a screw. Other variants are supplied with a dowel including an impact pin. This means that electrical cables can only be laid on wood, brick and concrete surfaces using cable ties. Screws are no longer used. Cable ties with clamp anchors work in a similar way. This anchor is pushed through a hole in a metal surface and latches at the back. To fix a cable tie on a smooth surface, special pads with a self-adhesive layer are available. These can (additionally) also be fastened with a screw.What are cable ties made of?Cable ties are made of different materials. Which material you should use depends on the place of use and the desired durability. Cable ties are most commonly made from flexible nylon. At least 2% carbon black is added to nylon to increase resistance to UV light in outdoor applications. This protects the polymer chains and extends the life of the cable tie. In the food industry, cable ties contain a metal additive so that they can be detected by industrial metal detectors. ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) cable ties are used in radiation hazardous environments. Stainless steel cable ties are available for explosion proof applications. Coated stainless steel cable ties prevent corrosion between dissimilar metals.Image: Cable ties from various manufacturersWhat affects the durability of a cable tie?Nothing is forever. Cable ties are also subject to a certain amount of wear or age over time. Then the moment has come to replace a cable tie. The following circumstances affect the durability of the cable ties:Temperature: At temperatures above 85 degrees, nylon loses its elasticity and strength. When cold, it becomes brittle and breaks.Humidity: If the air humidity is permanently high, the cable ties absorb moisture and the strength decreases.Material thickness: A larger material cross-section increases the service life.Vibration: Microcracks form due to constant vibrations, which lead to the destruction of the product.Radiation: Sunbeams and other radiations also affect the strength of the plastic structure.Mechanical stress: Twisting, pulling or abrasion lead to premature closure of the materialChemicals: Decomposing substances of all kinds and their vapors reduce durability. What do I need a cable tie tensioner for?A cable tie tensioner can be used to apply a cable tie with some tension. The tool trims the excess end flush. This will avoid a sharp edge that could otherwise cause injury. If you want to process a large number of cable ties, the tensioner offers the following advantages:convenient and fast workprovides the necessary tensionthe force regulator guarantees a uniform attachmentgrab and pull with one handSave time by automatically cutting the end piece Do the material colors have a specific meaning?In addition to a large variety of materials, we offer you natural-colored and black cable ties as well as various other material colors. The bright colors in particular are used for easy visual recognition in dark environments. The use of a specific color for a corresponding application is not prescribed. TIP:Tie together matching cables with cable ties of the same color. This makes sorting, separation or recognition within cable harnesses or in other rooms easier. At eibabo® you will find cable ties according to your wishes. Choose from classic models or designs that have been specially developed for a specific application. Well-known manufacturers are 3M, ABB, Fischer, OBO, Lapp, Rittal, Hama, Phoenix, Schneider Electric and around a dozen others.

Safety lamp - Don't panic now! Keep calm and leave the building as quickly as possible! Of course, none of us want to experience such a scenario. Nevertheless, situations can arise that require immediate action or at least special attention. Safety lights help for this purpose. These warn of dangers, show us the shortest escape route or illuminate danger spots so that you don't inadvertently injure yourself.With the eibabo® safety lights, you ensure that potential dangers are identified more quickly, damage is avoided and, in the first instance, evacuations can be carried out quickly. Many safety lights are equipped with economical LED technology and are therefore also designed for efficient continuous use. Your purchase in the eibabo® technology store is also particularly secure. This is ensured by the Trusted Shops buyer protection and a high level of customer satisfaction. Use one of over 20 payment methods and have your order delivered worldwide. And should something not go to your satisfaction, our accommodating customer service will be happy to help you.What types of safety lights are there?In emergency situations related to the failure of the main lighting, emergency lighting systems are used. These can be caused, for example, by power failures, fires or accidents caused by people. The purpose of safety lights is to:enable safe evacuation of people from buildingsindicate potential security risksensure the completion or continuation of work in progress (backup lighting) Depending on the type of lighting, these are connected to the existing house electricity network, connected to backup energy sources or function independently using their own energy supply. While backup lighting allows ongoing activities to be terminated or resumed, evacuation and hazard detection lights are designed to:indicate escape routesTo illuminate danger zones - such as moving machine parts, crash sites, tripping hazards, black ice, fire zonesAvoid panic - crowds of people are guided to the escape routes with instructions Image: Ceag ExitCube #40071353420In which areas should safety lights be used?Safety lighting is rarely found in the private sphere and is generally not required. Safety lights should still be present in those private buildings and areas:where critical crowds can occurwhere visitors and other public traffic are to be expectedif there is at least one branch from the exit of the apartment to the elevator or stairs And of course, the following buildings, among others, must be equipped with safety lights:high-rise apartment buildingsall public, commercial and industrial facilitiesCovered and open areas of petrol stations, multi-storey car parks and traffic tunnelsObjects that are characterized by a high number of visitorsestablishments with retail sale of alcohol Please noteThe exact regulations differ depending on the country and can be found in the national regulations for escape route marking. Emergency lighting, which is not related to the evacuation of people, is necessary:in production with a continuous technological cyclein medical facilitiesat airports and train stationsin all other establishments where even a brief cessation of activity may result in death or accidents How are escape routes and danger areas illuminated?Illumination for evacuationThe main aim of marking escape routes is to leave the building safely and as quickly as possible. The route to evacuation starts right from the premises of housing, work or using services. Therefore, an evacuation lamp and a light indicator with the appropriate pictogram should be installed above the exit from the room. Other important marking points along the escape route are changes in the direction of movement and the floor, flights of stairs, entrances and exits.Already knew?A universal and globally understandable pictogram for escape routes is the green human silhouette walking through a doorway. Often this sign is accompanied by a directional arrow.emergency lightingIn addition, there are devices for emergency lighting along the entire escape route up to the exit from the building to the outside. In addition to the trend-setting infographics mentioned, these are also actual lamps for illuminating the floor, walls or steps. On the other hand, the escape route lighting also serves as escape route lighting for orientation for helpers and rescue personnel. This shows the way to safety zones and provides information about where, for example, fire extinguishers or first-aid equipment is located.Always recognizableAll signs identifying evacuation, hazardous areas, and emergency equipment locations must be sufficiently visible and recognizable. The minimum character height is calculated based on the maximum viewing distance divided by 200. Example: With a maximum viewing distance of 15 meters (= 1500 cm), the infographic must be at least 7.5 cm tall.hazard lightingThe purpose of hazardous area lighting includes protection of open chemical tanks, moving machinery, high-pressure vessels, electrical voltage, furnaces, and so on. Unguarded fall areas, escalators or automated production areas are also marked in this way.What is anti-panic lighting?If potential crowds of people are to be expected indoors and outdoors, this could cause difficulties for some people in finding escape routes. Anti-panic lighting should prevent uncontrolled stressful situations in an emergency and ensure that escape routes can be identified from any point in the danger zone. This is done through good lighting, clear instructions and unambiguous infographics. All of this reduces confusion and promotes calm and organized movement to the emergency exit when an alarm is announced.What is backup lighting needed for?The main task of backup lighting is not related to the evacuation of people. There are facilities where numerous important technical processes and humanitarian services take place. These cannot be interrupted. These include hospitals, certain authorities, airports, train stations or military facilities. This is where back-up lighting systems come into play to prevent human injury or death or the occurrence of other man-made accidents. TIPThe presence of backup lighting does not exclude the need for evacuation lighting with all the necessary indicators. The use of separate lights for backup systems is usually not economical. Rather, if the main power supply fails or is interrupted, the standard lighting is automatically switched to a source from the central emergency power supply. The running time of such a back-up light is calculated for a period of between a few minutes and several hours, depending on the setup.

Network server cabinet - Special network cabinets and server cabinets are required to accommodate and organize IT equipment in companies and data centers. In the following article, you will learn what the differences are between the individual models, how best to use them and what you should look out for when making your selection.What are the standard dimensions within network cabinets and server cabinets?In order to be able to describe the differences between individual cabinets, we must first look at the similarities. The 19-inch grid has established itself as the standardized norm for fastening network technology in the housing provided for this purpose (e.g. cabinets or racks). This standardization is laid down in the IEC standard 60297 (in Germany DIN 41494). This means that servers, patch panels, routers, switches or UPS can be installed over this dimension and easily in all cabinets. term UPSThe abbreviation UPS stands for 'uninterruptible power supply'. 19 inches corresponds to a width of 482.6 mm. In addition to this standard width, standardized heights are also provided. These are specified in HE (= height unit) or U (= unit). One U corresponds to 44.45 mm. This means that a standard server cabinet with 42 HU is approximately 2 meters high.The external dimensions are based on the internally defined standards. Depending on the model, the cabinets can have different widths and depths. This is because ventilation may be required and wiring may be complex.The most common are cabinets with dimensions of 22, 24, 33, 42, 44 and 47 height units.The width of a cabinet is usually 600 mm, 800 mm or 1000 mm.The depth is typically 800 mm, 1000 mm or 1200 mm. TIP:If you are unsure of the space you need, always choose a cupboard of the next larger size. The extra space is good for ventilation or allows you to route cables to the side of your built-in devices. Free spaces in height provide space for later extensions.What is the difference between server cabinet and network cabinet?When looking for suitable storage locations for our network technology, we come across different product names and technical terms. The terms 'server cabinet' and 'network cabinet' belong to this. For the layman it is not clear at first glance whether there are differences between the two versions and what they are. Visually, the cabinets are almost the same. Both have the same dimensions or are based on the same 19-inch grid. In fact, however, there are some specific differences. Server cabinets and network cabinets differ in size, design and purpose. The design of the products depends on the specific tasks and the parameters of the network equipment located inside the cabinets.The network closetA network closet is commonly used to store patch panels, routers, switches, as well as network equipment and network accessories. In most cases, the network cabinet is only 800 mm deep and therefore smaller than a server cabinet. The smallest dimension can often be selected in terms of width, too, because cabling is usually manageable. This saves space, because thermal requirements are usually not a problem for the devices mentioned above. Network closets are more likely to have a glass or solid plastic door and the back panel is solid material.The server cabinetThe server cabinet is mainly used to install servers, monitors, uninterruptible power supplies or similar devices. Ventilation and cable management play a special role here. Server cabinets can therefore be chosen wider and deeper than network cabinets. Server cabinets usually have a perforated door and also rear ventilation holes.One of the most important differences to the network cabinet is the load capacity. The selection of the load capacity of a server cabinet is determined by how much technology is to be accommodated in it. Simple models have a carrying capacity of about 450-500 kg. If there are numerous or heavy devices to be accommodated, please select a model with a load capacity of up to 1000 kg. For equipping particularly large systems, models with a load capacity of 1500 kg are used.In addition, most servers generate a significant amount of heat. To facilitate heat exchange, a server cabinet is made of perforated metal with a ventilated front door and back panel.Image: Rittal PremiumServer-10 network cabinetAre there network server cabinets for outdoor use?It is not always possible to accommodate server technology or network devices inside buildings. Network cabinets and server cabinets with special properties are available for outdoor use. These all-weather cabinets have a high IP protection class and thus protect against dust, touch and water. It can be installed free-standing with a base on the street or hanging on a wall. The special requirements for vandalism, fire protection, cable routing, earthing and ventilation are also taken into account. Models with a high degree of protection are allowed to be installed in industrial areas with high levels of pollution and humidity.What advantages does a professional network server cabinet offer?With a network server cabinet, you centralize the installation of all important network components. The technology is monitored and maintained in one place. All standardized devices with a 19 inch attachment can be used, individually positioned and expanded. Closed systems support the requirements for data security according to EU-DSGV. In addition, there is order and clarity in the entire network structure.What else should I consider before buying a network server cabinet?The purchase of a network cabinet or server cabinet is an investment for many years. The IT environment of companies in particular is constantly changing and constantly being expanded. Therefore, select the dimensions of the cabinet sufficiently large. All existing components must find a place. In any case, plan enough space for later installations.The purchase of a server cabinet often goes hand in hand with the purchase of additional accessories. These include fans and air conditioners. It may also be advisable to install an extinguishing system to prevent the loss of data and expensive technology in the event of a fire. Need additional inventory to place your devices? For example, the following ensure clarity and order:Skirting boards for protecting electric cablesOrganizer and cable hook for the proper organization of the electrical installationAuxiliary shelves, drawers, shelves or mounting panels for screens All from a single sourceCompletely equip your network cabinet and server cabinet with eibabo®. You can get everything you need here in the shop. Benefit from low prices for mounting rails, cables, plugs, panels, extinguishing systems and air conditioning units.If the cupboard is not in a lockable room, it should have a lock itself. This prevents access by unauthorized persons.Typically, a network cabinet or server cabinet forms the heart or the control center of your building network. All computers access it, obtain important data or store countless documents. Therefore, such a cabinet is not only a place of storage, but also has a protective function. Therefore, pay attention to robust quality, because a stable basic structure reliably protects against external mechanical influences.

Emergency stop rope switch - Emergency stop switches are very important safety devices and are mostly, but not exclusively, used in machines used in industrial production. Depending on the type and structure of the system, they are also required by law. The classic emergency stop switch shuts down the machine as soon as it is actuated. This prevents people from being injured in the event of a technical problem. A structural variant of this switch is the emergency stop with cable pull. This can also be equipped with a cable pull and is put into operation by pretensioning the cable. If the tension on the rope changes, either because the rope is pulled or if the rope breaks, the machine is switched off. In practical use, this means that the cable can be installed anywhere along a hazardous work area, for example, and the machine can be stopped from any point by pulling the cable. Inexpensive and reliable emergency stop rope pull switches are part of the eibabo electrical installation product range.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Low-voltage industrial components > Emergency stop pull cord switch you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Bowden cable emergency switchCable switchCounterEmergency stopEmergency stop pull cord switchEmergency stop pull switchEMERGENCY STOP rope switchPull cord switchRipcordSafety switchSwitchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Emergency stop rope switch:ABBKiepeRockwellSchmersalSchneider ElectricSiemensSteute

Fire detector - Your building and the people and objects in it are certainly important to you. Protect your valuables by using fire alarms. Find out here how fire detectors differ and what you should consider when buying one. Fire detectors play an important role in the area of alarm systems. These are an indispensable part of security in private and public buildings. In some cases, the building must be equipped with fire alarms.What are fire alarms?Fire alarms are technical devices or systems that draw your attention to an emergency. This alarm allows you to take action to extinguish a fire and protect people and assets. The devices can be found in the private environment, as well as in commercial units, office buildings, industrial plants and public facilities. Each fire detector detects a hazard in different ways. Irrespective of this, in the event of a fire:acoustic signals are triggered to draw the attention of people in the buildingRemote signals are sent to alert the fire brigade directly or via a central station A complete fire alarm system usually consists not only of the detectors, but also of a fire alarm control panel. This can be set up to trigger various actions automatically. These include, for example:the automatic information of the fire brigadethe activation of extinguishing systems for active firefightingswitching on ventilation systems or extraction systemsopening escape routes In this eibabo® catalogue, the focus is on the detector devices that should be installed at central points in a building to detect hazards.What are the differences between the fire detectors?The various fire detectors are, so to speak, the 'sensory organs' of a fire alarm system. We differentiate between automatic fire detectors and non-automatic fire detectors. Automatic fire detectors detect a fire based on physical properties. Non-automatic fire detectors must be operated manually. The nature of the danger can also be very different. With the automatic fire detectors, you have the choice between simple or technically sophisticated fire gas detectors or smoke gas detectors, heat detectors, smoke detectors, flame detectors, multiple sensor detectors and various special detectors. Manual fire alarms with broken glass windows are non-automatic fire alarms.Fire gas detectors and smoke gas detectorsThe carbon monoxide detector is one of the fire gas detectors. Carbon monoxide is a toxic, colorless, odorless gas produced by combustion. Carbon monoxide detectors or CO fire detectors measure the carbon monoxide content in the air using an electrochemical cell.NoticeThus, a carbon monoxide detector is not only a fire detector. It also warns you if a combustion appliance (such as the heater) in your home has broken down and is emitting dangerous carbon monoxide.However, these devices do not detect smoke or other products of combustion. Other gas detectors immediately detect hazardous fire gases such as hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas. Flue gases are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or nitrogen oxide.smoke detectorThere are three different types of smoke detectors, each with a different operating principle. In ionization smoke detectors there is a chamber with two electrically charged plates. In between a small amount of radioactive material. The air between the plates ionizes and current can flow. If smoke enters the chamber, it interrupts the flow of ions and the current flow is reduced. The result is that the alarm is triggered. Ionization smoke detectors work well in flaming fires.The light scattering smoke detectors work according to the Tyndall effect. This means that in a dark chamber there is a light source and a light sensor. Light source and light sensor are separated from each other in such a way that the light does not hit the sensor. Smoke in the chamber causes the light to scatter, which then hits the sensor. The alarm is triggered. These detectors are particularly suitable for smoldering fires.On the other hand, the smoke detector works with the principle of blackout. Light hits a sensor. The sensor measures the amount of light received. If there are fluctuations in the measured values, smoke is assumed and the alarm is triggered. Larger areas can be monitored with this type of detector because the light source and sensor can be positioned further apart.heat detectorHeat detectors or thermal detectors register the rise in temperature caused by a fire. Some heat detectors trigger automatically when a preset ambient temperature is reached. Other models monitor the rate of temperature rise and trigger if the temperature rises faster than the preset value over a period of time. In this case, an alarm is also triggered if the set trigger temperature has not yet been reached. Intelligent heat detectors give an alarm when the ambient temperature around the detector rises above a variable, relative value depending on other parameters.flame detectorFlame detectors are typically used in open areas or outdoors. However, these devices are also used indoors. Their sensors determine the energy emissions of a fire in the ultraviolet and infrared range. Flame detectors do not analyze combustion products such as heat and smoke.Multi-sensor detectorMulti-sensor detectors use a combination of multiple sensor types. These sense smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide to detect signs of a fire. A complex algorithm in the detector circuit uses the measured values to decide when an alarm is to be triggered. When integrated into a fire alarm system, the detector outputs a value based on the combined readings of all integrated sensors. These devices are sensitive to a variety of fires.Image: Hekatron ORS 210 optical smoke detectormanual call pointA manual detector or glass break detector is a device that allows anyone to trigger an alarm. To do this, a fragile element (usually a transparent pane) must be broken. The alarm can be triggered via a button behind it.How can fire alarm systems be structured?The function of fire alarm systems goes far beyond the mere alarming by individual detectors. You can implement these individually depending on your budget and architecture. A complete and reliable threat detection is important.In conventional systems, detectors / sensors / detectors are wired to the main control unit using classic cable connections. The detectors are divided into areas in order to be able to locate the danger point quickly. This makes the work of the fire brigade easier and is relevant for general building management. The current status of each area can be seen on the control center using a lamp or text display. The more differentiated the division of the areas, the more precisely the alarm trigger can be localized.Fire detectors with BUS technology are integrated into a KNX building automation system. The principle for detecting a hazard is similar to that of a conventional system. The connection is established via a BUS data line with the network control. In a KNX environment, each detector is given a fixed address. You can determine exactly which detector triggered the alarm via the control panel.Wireless systems are interesting alternatives to implement conventional or KNX-based fire alarm systems. Signals are transmitted between the sensors and the control center over secure, license-free frequencies. With a wireless system you are very flexible and can make extensions and changes without having to change anything in the fixed installation.Which fire alarm should I buy?You have now become acquainted with numerous fire detectors and alarm systems. Please assess the risk of a fire individually and also the dangers that such an emergency situation means for you and your building. TIP:Rely on a healthy mix of different fire detectors. In order to be able to detect the widest possible spectrum of different fires, we recommend a combination of different fire detectors. You cannot know beforehand whether the worst case scenario is fire and flames, a smoldering fire with heavy smoke development or a defective solid fuel appliance. Not every fire detector detects every type of fire. A multi-sensor detector offers many possible uses. The division into individual devices has the advantage that there is still a certain level of protection even if a single device fails.

Socket - A socket is much more than an inconspicuous power supply on the wall. Find out here which sockets are available and why you can never have enough of them. In addition to buttons and switches, sockets are among the most important products of all manufacturers of switch programs. A socket is installed either permanently on a wall (surface-mounted socket) or recessed (flush-mounted socket). Sockets can also be part of a mobile line coupling, such as table or multiple sockets. There are also sockets on extensions that are intended for mobile use. A socket is mostly used for the power supply. There are also sockets for telephone / telecommunications and for the data transmission sockets. Devices are usually supplied with single-phase alternating current (in Europe 230 volts) or three-phase alternating current (three-phase current with 400 volts) via classic sockets. There are also standardized sockets for 12V direct current. There are separate socket systems for the supply of higher voltages and currents.Basic information about sockets - in a nutshellA distinction is made between the flush-mounting and surface-mounting types. With the flush-mounted variant, sockets are mounted in switch boxes, which in turn are embedded in the wall. In the 'surface-mounted' variant, sockets are attached to existing walls, usually with dowels and screws.Double sockets are usually nothing more than two single sockets. They obtain the energy from the same supply line. Flush-mounted variants can be optically connected to one another via the frames of the switch range. With surface-mounted devices, both sockets are supplied in one housing.A socket insert is a device for installation in the switch box. It is either attached using claws (clamp connection) or by screwing the base plate of the insert to the screw holes of the switch box. The insert must be supplemented by the frame of the switch range.High-quality moisture-proof sockets usually have a self-closing cover and a rubber seal around the base. They are used in bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms.Outdoor sockets must protect the current-carrying cables from rain and snow. Their housings are often particularly stable in order to prevent damage from mechanical influences.The degree of protection is a determining variable for the place of use. The best known is the two-digit IP protection class (IP = International Protection / Ingress Protection). The first digit stands for protection against contact and foreign bodies, the second digit for protection against water. The higher both digits, the safer. Planning of sockets - there is no such thing as too muchIf I were to build a house again, I would do many things differently.' You hear it very often like this or something similar when you talk to builders. Not infrequently, the planning and implementation of the electrical installation is one of the things that could be better. It is often the insufficient number of sockets that makes everyday life unnecessarily cumbersome. For example, if there is no socket in a dark corner of the room, you must lay an extension cord for the lamp. You probably won't connect very many electronic devices in a bathroom. A living room is usually equipped with many devices and is occasionally rearranged. Many sockets offer flexibility here. TIP:Sockets are very cheap to buy compared to the whole building. Do not plan too tightly, but generously. But positioning also plays an important role. Plan ahead with the layout of your home, the furnishings, and the purpose of the room. Think about the different uses throughout the year. For example, the following are often overlooked:Sockets in the window reveal to supply the Christmas lightsSockets at ceiling height for extractor hoods, infrared heaters and the likeSockets in the attic (for later expansion)the right sockets in hobby rooms, if necessary for devices that require three-phase currentOutside sockets on the balcony or terraceOutdoor sockets near a cistern or water barrel to feed a pumpOutside sockets in the carport or near storage areas for wood and the likeOutside sockets on the property line / driveway The Schuko sockets in the eibabo® online shopThere are many types of sockets. The so-called Schuko socket is the standard in Europe. The abbreviation SchuKo stands for 'protective contact' and is a designation for the German-speaking area. Internationally, these devices are referred to as type F sockets. Cables with three cores are connected to sockets of this design, one of which serves as a protective contact. This derives leakage currents. The matching plugs (e.g. on electrical devices) are also constructed according to this principle. In this catalogue, we present you with high-quality sockets from over 30 manufacturers, including Gira, Jung, Merten, Hager, Berker, Legrand BTicino, Busch-Jaeger and Siemens.How much load can a single socket withstand?A classic 230 volt household circuit is usually protected with 16 ampere fuses. This results in a maximum load capacity of the circuit of 3680 watts (16 amps x 230 volts). This means that you could theoretically draw 3,600 watts of power from a standard household socket. NoticeWhen it comes to electrical installation, it is advisable never to push individual devices to their capacity limits. In practice, about 2500 watts should not be exceeded at a socket. Based on Central European standards, 200 watts to 300 watts per individual socket is assumed in everyday use. With double sockets it is up to 500 watts. You should take this guideline into account when planning the maximum number of outlets per circuit for your installation.Does eibabo® also offer sockets of other standards?eibabo® is an international online mail order company and offers sockets that are common outside of Europe. The best-known form is the NEMA standard, which is not used in Europe (with a few exceptions). NEMA stands for National Electrical Manufacturers Association and describes a whole range of different sockets and power plugs. These are commonplace in America, such as the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Type B (NEMA-5-15) single-phase AC power is most commonly used in the United States. The regular operating voltage is 120 V, the mains frequency is 60 Hz. NEMA-6 series connectors are intended for heavy loads such as electric ovens. The NEMA system is also in use in parts of Asia, including Japan and Thailand, China and the Philippines. In addition, at eibabo® you will find sockets according to British Standard, Swiss Standard or Australian Standard.How do I integrate a standard Schuko socket into the smart home?An existing socket can be easily expanded in terms of functionality using a WLAN socket. As a rule, these are adapter plugs that you plug into the existing socket. These represent a link between the end device and the socket. An associated application (software) enables the connection to the home network. But it doesn't have to be WiFi. Other models use Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth as radio technology. If your electrical installation is just being planned, we recommend reserving a few sockets for your smart home. Then you have the option of using the corresponding flush-mounted sockets. These look visually appealing like classic sockets. You no longer need an additional adapter plug.Already knew?At the beginning of the electricity age, sockets and light switches were considered status symbols. Those who were self-respecting presented the electrical installation of the house 'surface-mounted' and clearly visible to everyone.The advantages of such sockets are, on the one hand, that the devices connected to the sockets can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and easily via the smart home system. In this way, the devices do not run on standby and save electricity. On the other hand, you can operate the sockets when you are not at home. If such a device is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa, you can use it to control it.What is the difference to a socket with increased contact protection?At first glance, a socket with increased contact protection can hardly be distinguished from a classic socket. Some manufacturers mark such a model with a small symbol on the case.Image: Gira 045327 Schuko socket outlet with child protectionSockets with increased contact protection have an additional internal safety device that can vary depending on the manufacturer. In some models, this consists of rotary vanes. These open when both pins of a connector exert pressure on them at the same time. With other systems, the central insert can be rotated. So no object can be inserted into the holes of the socket. The installation of such sockets is recommended, for example, where children may have access to them. In other wordsThe designation 'Schuko' for protective contact has nothing to do with protection against accidental contact. Protection against accidental contact must also be provided. An alternative to the socket with increased protection against accidental contact can be separate socket protection. These plug into a standard socket and often work with a twist or slide motion as well. It is very safe with socket locks or lockable flaps.Why should I lock an outlet?Sockets are everywhere. These cannot always be monitored. In times of constantly rising energy costs, one often hears about electricity being stolen unnoticed via a hidden socket. This is made particularly easy for thieves if the socket is publicly accessible. Even if animals, children or other vulnerable people are constantly in the immediate vicinity of the socket, we recommend a lock. Lockable sockets or socket locks are available in the eibabo® shop at reasonable prices. Use our intelligent search.Are there sockets for other areas of application?In addition to classic sockets for everyday use, there are sockets in special shapes. You may need sockets in a place where neither a flush-mounted socket nor a surface-mounted socket is possible. A classic example is the junction box. Here you need a socket with mounting options on the DIN rail. Such models are often adapted in width to the pitch units in the junction box. Another special form are the so-called CEE sockets. These are available in the strengths 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A and are equipped with three to seven pins. Different colors represent the appropriate nominal voltage. The eibabo® shop offers CEE sockets and sockets for the junction box in separate catalogues.
