Wide span cable tray - Are you looking for a stable cable support system? Do you have larger spans to bridge and want to ensure that the weight of the cables is carried safely? Your eibabo® shop offers you a huge range of cable support systems from well-known manufacturers at the best prices. With numerous modules you can meet almost all architectural requirements and lay cables and lines quickly, clearly and inexpensively. In this catalog you will find the product group 'Cable trays and wide-span cable trays'.What are cable support systems?With cable carrier systems, you can lay cables and lines vertically and horizontally through rooms, basements, production halls and across floors. In contrast to electrical installation conduits, the systems accommodate massive cable bundles and are therefore suitable for complex commercial systems and industrial applications. You can use this, for example, to lay the power supply for your building. Or you can use it to create measuring systems, control systems or other wired data transmissions for your system. The modular design ensures maximum flexibility combined with stability, security and cost efficiency.Image: OBO Bettermann RKSM620 cable trayWhat are wide span cable trays?Wide-span cable trays are part of cable carrier systems. These form long, rigid and rectilinear structures for laying electrical cables, conduits and cable ducts. Cable trays are typically made of galvanized steel, stainless steel or aluminium. There are also non-metallic cable trays. These are made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. The different cable tray types include:Metal cable trays (perforated, slotted and in ladder form)Small metal ducts (perforated, unperforated)Cable trays made of non-metallic material (perforated, slotted and in ladder form)Small ducts made of non-metallic material (perforated, unperforated)Metal and non-metallic cable trays (unperforated)Metal wire mesh cable trays Why are some cable trays perforated and others not?There are perforated and unperforated cable trays. Some cable trays consist 'only' of a wire mesh. The difference lies in the different possible uses. In most cases, open cable trays are used. These are in the form of ladders with rungs or a base, and side parts are provided with round or oblong holes. The holes have different functions:ventilationCurrent-carrying cables and lines can generate heat. The removal of excess heat is a safety feature, especially when these are laid in a bundle.attachmentCable ties and other fastening systems can be pulled through the holes. This allows the cables and lines to be sorted and fixed. In addition, fastening systems such as ropes, hanging brackets or support arms are connected to the channels through the holes.weight reductionMetal cable trays are solid. Cables and wires can also be very heavy. Larger installations often reach a high weight as a result. Perforated material is lighter and simplifies assembly.junctionIf individual cables and wires need to be routed out of the gutter, this can be done, for example, down through one of the larger holes.water permeabilitySprinkler systems are installed in many areas for safety reasons. In an emergency, the water can drain through the holes in the cable trays. TIP:With wide-span cable trays, you can bridge a span of up to 3 meters. In contrast, the unperforated cable trays are installed at other locations. Closed systems are used for:Rooms with increased pollutionIn a dusty environment, the laid cables and lines remain clean and can be replaced, checked or repaired more easily in an emergency. Additional gutter covers are used in these environments.Electromagnetic shieldingClosed cable trays have a shielding effect. The influence of the cables on the environment (or vice versa) is significantly reduced through the use of unperforated cable trays.What does suitability for functional integrity mean?In the product descriptions of the cable support systems, some information on functional integrity is stored. This information is used to help you assess the suitability of each system for specific locations. Fire safety is an important issue in private, commercial, industrial and municipal buildings. There are special requirements for safety-relevant areas, also for the supporting devices of the electrical installation. Functional integrity describes how long the system must remain functional in the event of a fire.Functional integrity of 30 minutes (E30) is required for electrical systems used to evacuate people and animals from a burning building. These arefire alarm systemsSystems for alerting and issuing instructionsSecurity lighting and backup power lightingpassenger elevatorsSmoke and heat extraction systems Functional integrity of 60 or 90 minutes (E60 and E90) is necessary for the fire brigade to fight fires effectively and for complex evacuations. For example, it applies toWater pressure booster systems for the supply of extinguishing waterAutomatic extinguishing systemsFire brigade lifts and bed lifts (in hospitals)Ventilation systems and smoke protection pressure systems of safety stairwellsElevator shafts and machine rooms In these applications, use tested cable support systems that guarantee functional integrity of up to 90 minutes, depending on the requirements.With what weight can cable trays be loaded?When choosing the right cable tray or the optimal cable support system, its resilience is crucial. The carrying capacity must correspond to the expected cable weight. TIP:Calculate a reserve of 10% for possible subsequent installations when considering the load-bearing capacity. Approximately 15 kg per meter and per 10 cm channel width apply as a guideline for the load capacity. With a channel width of 30 cm, for example, this results in a load-bearing capacity of around 45 kg per meter. With a channel width of 60 cm, the value increases to 90 kg per meter. Alternatively, look at the manufacturer's product specification or use the formula of DIN VDE 0639 T1 to calculate the maximum permissible cable load.What accessories are available for wide-span cable trays?At eibabo® you will find all the components you need to route cables and lines individually through your building. Examples of suitable accessories and add-on modules for wide-span cable trays are:Gutter connectors, gutter bends, angle brackets and end piecesTees, crosses, branch pieces and reducersCable rakes, base plates, hanging brackets, coversSupport arms, cable ladders and fastening material We carry complete systems from all leading manufacturers, including OBO Bettermann, Niedax, Unex, Pflitsch, Tehalit, Legrand Cablofil and many more.

Electrical material - Electrical technology and electrical material surround us in virtually all areas of our lives and it is unimaginable to do without them in our daily routines. Especially because the subject areas are so diverse, ranging from entertainment equipment in the living room, right down to electrical distribution boxes in manufacturing companies, we now view the use of electrical material as something natural, without really stopping to think about it. Electrical technology and electrical material are in fact so complex, however, that even a simple categorization is often difficult. Yet this does not diminish the importance of the topic, which is evident by the fact, among others, that already in the early stages of various projects, the use of electrical technology is generally planned down to the finest detail. If we simply take the example of a new home-building project, even prior to the ground-breaking ceremony, it is already necessary to specify the exact type and manner in which electrical material is to be used. In the phase of basic installation, there are frequently very practical questions: What type of cables and wires (e.g. sheathed cables, underground cables, coaxial cables) and tubes (e.g. FBY cable conduit) should be installed and how long should they be? What type of sealing material should be used, and what kind of in-wall casing is appropriate? The brand manufacturer Kaiser, for example, offers very attractive options with its ThermoX, HaloX and FlamoX basic installation solutions. Moreover, the question arises where the sockets and connections are located in the new structure. The eibabo® online shop offers you the right items for electrical installation, and because only the highest standards are good enough for our customers, we exclusively carry top products of the most well-known premium manufacturers such as ABB, Cimco, Dehn, Eaton, Finder, Hager, Hensel, Kaiser, OBO, Phoenix, Rittal, Siemens, Spelsberg, WAGO and many more. In the implementation of projects, the basic installation is often seamlessly followed by decisions on the use of plug-in systems and plug connectors. These are mainly found in home connections, sockets and other cable connections, and are installed to provide electricity for users. The eibabo® shop encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, including more than 25,000 items in the area of electrical technology alone, helping you to find high-quality material for your individual needs. Another typical use for electrical material are electrical installations, which can no longer be viewed as a matter of secondary importance, particularly with regard to increasingly frequent networking. In addition to known elements such as residual current circuit breakers, electrical meters and control cabinets, products involving lightning surge protection are becoming more and more important. Modern, intricate devices typically are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations, which often makes them very prone to damage and function errors. This is where surge protection devices from name-brand manufacturers such as Dehn, Eaton, Hager, Phoenix, along with additional electrical material from the eibabo® shop can provide the proper remedy.

Feed-through duct - Are you unable to install electrical cables and wires inside walls or floors? Does your installation need to be checked regularly? Then you need an alternative to laying your electrical routes. Mounting brackets, clamps, cable ties and similar devices are often used as fasteners. However, their common disadvantage is that the installation remains open and visible. However, this is unacceptable in most cases. In order to hide the wiring, ducts are used for cable routing. We would like to introduce you to their types and sizes in this article.Cable routing ducts are used wherever extensive installations are necessary and concealed installation is not possible. A typical example is the multi-storey office building. In addition to power supplies, all kinds of data transmission cables have to find their way to the individual offices and different floors. And of course you don't lay these lines and cables loosely, but protect them from damage and unauthorized access with a cable routing duct.Cable routing ducts made of plasticPlastic cable ducts are most commonly used to route cables within a building. In most cases, these are white or gray profiles with a rectangular cross-section. Depending on the model, the channels can be divided into several strands. Likewise, there are cable ducts in various other shapes and even colors, which are intended for laying in specific locations or for different purposes. For example, there are models with a triangular cross-section for the connection between worktops and the wall. Half-round variants are used on the ground so that people do not trip over the cable.materials and structurePlastic cable routing ducts are made of non-combustible PVC or polyethylene. Typically, the length of a segment is 2 meters. Other dimensions are also available for special cases, so you can also find longer cable ducts if required. The width and height can be chosen individually. The standard dimensions are between 10 mm and 60 mm. Deviations are also possible here depending on the application. The most popular and widespread are the simple, classic U-shaped cable ducts. U-shaped cable ducts are available with both solid and slotted sidewalls. On the other hand, the coverage is usually always massive. This is clamped onto the side walls without tools.attachmentDepending on the material and the load-bearing capacity of the surface, cable routing ducts are fastened, glued, nailed or screwed using retaining clips. The manufacturers provide appropriate mounting holes for this on the underside of the duct ex works. TIPIf you decide to stick it on, please also take into account the subsequent weight of the cables and lines. In many cases, double-sided adhesive tape is not sufficient for permanently secure attachment. accesoriesIn order not to have to make curves, angles or branches on the main line yourself, many manufacturers offer additional elements to adapt to your own needs. You get connection boxes, T-pieces and corner profiles for every type of cable duct. These allow you to create cabling of any complexity without affecting walls and floors and without wasting time. There are also consoles for sockets and switches, which can be connected directly to the cable duct.channels for the floorSpecial ducts should be used to route cables and lines to the center of the room. These are very flat and curved in cross-section. This minimizes the risk of tripping and also protects the cable from damage caused by mechanical stress.Colored floor ducts are also available. On the one hand, you can create a subtle appearance to match the floor covering or, on the other hand, use contrasting colors to draw attention to this 'dangerous area'.What are the advantages and disadvantages of cable routing ducts made of plastic?Cable routing ducts enable a highly flexible and yet safe installation of cables and lines in almost all spatial conditions.There is no need to open the walls and floors to lay cables and lines.The installation is accessible at any time for repairs, checks and extensions.The cables and lines are protected against mechanical damage.The elements are inexpensive and can be assembled quickly. On the other hand, you have to accept that the usability of the wall is somewhat affected by cable routing ducts and the design of the interior design suffers as a result. It also cannot be ruled out that carelessness can result in damage or that the installation can be ripped out of the wall.Image: OBO LKM40040FS cable routing ductWiring ducts of metalMetal cable trunking is designed for heavy loads. These models are usually not necessary for classic household use. Metal ducts are mainly suitable for the industrial sector, because complex line systems and extensive cable bundles often have to be laid here.materials and constructionGalvanized steel is predominantly used as the material. This protects against corrosion and serves to maintain the function of the system in the event of external faults. Cable routing ducts made of metal are predominantly U-shaped and are available both with and without a cover. Perforated and non-perforated material is used depending on the operating conditions. The dimensions can be up to 300 mm in width and 100 mm in height. Standard lengths are 2000 mm and 3000 mm. From a certain dimension, the transitions to massive cable support systems are fluid. TIPYou can order the right end pieces, duct connectors, partitions, brackets, clamps or device sockets from us at the same time. attachmentDue to the high weight, the metal channels cannot be glued. Fixing with anchors and dowels is common. For channels with larger dimensions, shelves or consoles are offered for attachment.accesoriesMetal cable routing ducts are often used to route electrical cables in raised floors or false ceilings. Depending on the requirements, additional components are required for their assembly in order to create turns, climbs, slopes or branches.What are the advantages and disadvantages of cable routing ducts made of metal?Metal ducts, when properly secured, can withstand the weight of a large number of power cables. They allow you to easily trace the path of each cable. As with the plastic variants, installation is easy and access for maintenance, replacement and additions is available at all times. An additional plus is the fire protection on the inside and outside. The disadvantage is the high weight and the higher costs. Individual adjustments to the modules are comparatively complex on the construction site. A lot of accessories and high-quality tools are therefore required.The portfolio available in the eibabo® online shop starts with narrow and flat items for just one line and extends to wall ducts and ceiling ducts, which can accommodate dozens of lines and cables. We recommend the high-quality items from the well-known manufacturers Kleinhuis, Niedax, Niedergesäß, OBO, Pflitsch, PROTEC.class, Rehau, Tehalit and Vogels.

Inner corner - device install. duct - Device installation ducts house not only power and data cables, but also numerous devices for installing a wide variety of connection points in order to supply all kinds of non-permanently installed devices with power and multimedia signals. This is why these channels must also be installed wherever the potential customers will later be. As a rule, these are offices, workshops, conference and training rooms or basements. In order to be able to install the intended device installation ducts across all walls, special inner corners should of course be used where walls meet. These ensure that the installation is firmly anchored to the respective subsurface and create the required connection points to the straight device installation ducts. Your eibabo online shop offers device installation ducts and the matching inside corners, for example from the manufacturers Tehalit, OBO, Niedax and Kleinhuis.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation ducts for wall and ceiling > Inner corner for wall duct you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Corner pieceDrywallHood moldingInner cornerInner corner for sill trunkingInner corner for wall ductInside corner coverInside corner lidInside corner topInternal corner for device installation trunkingMoulded hoodParapet channelPlasticSheet steelfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Inner corner - device install. duct:KleinhuisNiedaxOBORehauTehalit

Mesh cable tray - Laying cables and lines made easy. With high-quality mesh cable trays at top prices. Find out everything you need to know about purchasing and installing mesh cable trays here. If you live in an apartment building, trellis run safely through your basement. You will also find installations of this type in industrial companies, assembly halls and workshops. Mesh trays are components of cable support systems, but differ from cable trays and cable ladders.What are mesh trays?Mesh trays are strong wire meshes based on welded, formed and galvanized metal rods. The result is a grid tray that houses power and signal cables. Mesh cable trays are mainly designed for indoor use. The cables and lines are fastened with clamps or cable ties directly to the metal rods of the channel. The channels themselves usually have a U-shape in cross-section, i.e. a bottom and two sides. For stability, some manufacturers offer extended C-shape and G-shape cross-sections. The G-shape mesh cable trays fulfill the function of open cable ducts. TIP:The matching wall brackets and deck supports for attachment to the building are also available here in the shop. These channels accommodate, guide and support cables and lines. Wire mesh trays can be cut or bent into configurations such as curves, slopes and tees to accommodate complex cable runs. Mounting is typically on walls, overhead, or under floors for whole-building installations. Mesh cable trays are installed as systems. In order to create the required installation route, straight sections are connected to each other using the fittings (bends, angles, reducers, branches) that are also available, as well as accessories.What advantages do mesh cable trays offer?Mesh trays are one of the preferred cable mounting systems for installers. This is due to a number of advantages that mesh trays have over closed cable trays or cable ladders. These include:Material and cost savingsThe metal grid is open on all sides and very little metal is needed for it. This saves weight, material and reduces manufacturing costs. Compared to strong wide-span cable trays or cable ladders, resources are saved and the burden on the environment is reduced. As a customer, you will feel this advantage in the price. Mesh cable trays are cheaper than the other systems mentioned.Solution for all industriesCable trays are used in a wide range of companies, as well as municipal, industrial and private buildings. The places of use extend to basement rooms, workshops, server rooms, office workplaces and areas with extreme conditions. This can be strong temperature fluctuations, toxic atmospheres or zones with increased pollution.Customizable on siteEach installation is unique and often requires different twists, bends and pitches to properly route the cable. Mesh cable trays are flexible and can be adapted to the respective situation by hand in just a few simple steps. With simple equipment such as metal cutters, fasteners and a wrench, individual configurations of the cable route are carried out on site without loss of stability. For systems with wide-span cable trays and ladder trays, you must plan and purchase bends, T-pieces and corner pieces beforehand. If your needs change during installation, the parts you purchased may be useless and you will need to order different parts.Minor disturbancesDue to the low metal content, mesh cable trays significantly reduce the so-called interference in data cables. This is the optimal choice for use in the SCS area.definitionSCS ? Structured Cabling Networks is a user-independent, future-oriented network infrastructure built under economic parameters.Quick and easy to installThe assembly is self-explanatory. A wide range of brackets, connections and fixings allows installation to be carried out by people with different levels of expertise.Customizable cable managementMesh cable trays offer many alternatives for cable routing. The possibility of branching off individual cables and lines anywhere from the cable bundle is particularly practical. With closed support systems, it is not so easy to leave the canal.Optimum heat dissipationNo heat accumulates in the completely open mesh cable tray. Any heat generated is immediately released to the environment. This provides more security, especially when a large number of cables are bundled.Safe against pestsAnimals can damage cable systems. For example, mesh trays are more difficult for rodents to overcome than closed cable trays. The animals are more likely to fall through the openings and it is more difficult to build nests on the gratings.Easy control and repairMesh cable trays have an open floor plan. It is not difficult to identify problems with lines and cables, as well as to change or uninstall individual lines.Reduced weight without sacrificing stabilityMesh trays are lighter than other cable support systems, but have the same strength. This makes it easy to ship, store, transport to site, hang and adjust. In addition, there are no sharp edges that can damage the cables and lines.Image: OBO Bettermann G-GRM 50 50 G mesh cable trayHow are mesh cable trays connected?Straight connectors or clamp connectors are offered for connecting mesh cable trays. Straight connectors connect mesh cable trays in straight lines and ensure easy cable routing. These are simply pushed onto the ends of the wire mesh trays with a straight cross-section. This creates a secure connection without the need for nuts and bolts. Clamp connectors connect curved or straight mesh cable trays. These are ideal for both simple and complex routes. These connectors require nut and bolt attachment.What are the dimensions of the trellis?The classic length of a mesh cable tray is 3,000 millimeters. In individual cases, shorter channels are also available. The height of the sides starts at around 30 millimeters and goes up to a height of around 150 millimeters. You can also choose the width very flexibly. Mesh cable trays are available in widths between 30 millimeters and 900 millimeters. The most commonly used standard sizes of wire mesh cable trays are:Width: 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600mmHeight: 35, 50, 60, 80, 100, 105mm How resilient are mesh cable trays?When choosing a product, it is worth paying attention to the height of the side, the width of the base and the thickness of the wire. These parameters influence the subsequent load capacity of the mesh cable tray. The number and positioning of the connectors and fastening elements are also decisive for a stable construction. The resilience can therefore not be specified in general terms. The greater the distance between the breakpoints, the less resilient the system is. TIP:For the highest possible load capacity, mesh cable trays should always be connected to one another between the spans of the support points and attachment points. The positioning of the butt joint between two mesh cable trays affects the load-bearing capacity of the system. This should not be done directly where the structure is attached to the building. You will achieve the greatest stability of the cable route when the butt joint is at a ratio of approximately 1/4 to 3/4 to the breakpoints.Are mesh cable trays high-maintenance?Electrical installations are typically located outside the normal range of human influence. You often need ladders or scaffolding for checks, repairs or changes. It is therefore important that maintenance work is required as little as possible. Mesh cable trays are very easy to maintain. The metal is protected against corrosion and dirt cannot accumulate due to the construction, which is open at the bottom. The visual inspection of the system can therefore also be carried out from below the mesh cable trays. This saves money, time and cleaning work.Why should I buy mesh cable trays from eibabo®?The eibabo® technology store is one of the leading specialist centers for electrical installations.

Cover switch-button-dimmer - Do you prefer plain and simple covers for switches and buttons? Or may it also be something extravagant? We offer a huge range and show you what colours, shapes and styles are there? At eibabo® you will find blind covers and switch covers that make our home functional, comfortable and individually adjustable. This includes covers for room temperature controllers and dimmers from over 20 brand manufacturers at top conditions.PICTURE: Busch Jaeger 2504-2014 blind rockerWhat are covers for switches and buttons?Our life is hardly imaginable without power connections in the house. We operate light switches and plug sockets several times a day. Anyone involved in the planning and construction of a building knows the importance of covers for switches and sockets. Trouble-free functionality, simple design, durability and safety are what count in everyday contact with the interfaces to the power grid. How are these devices constructed? Roughly speaking, conventional switches and buttons consist of an insert, a frame and a cover.The insert consists of the switching technology or the technology for the button and is installed in a switch box.The cover frame forms the outer ring of a socket, button, switch or other insert.The covers fill the frame and ensure that we can safely operate switches, buttons or sockets. The manufacturers have adjusted to the needs of their customers. These offer switch programs with which you can determine the appearance of your switches, buttons and sockets yourself. Covers are available as:Rocker switches, rocker switches and double rockers for lights, blinds, heating and the likeCentral plate for sockets, network sockets and other mediaCable outlet or key switchBlind cover without functionalityCentral disc for dimmers, sensors, temperature controllers Can covers for switches and buttons be combined with frames from other switch ranges?The answer is yes and no. Inserts, frames and covers are standardized, but the details can differ. Why is that? The standard refers to DIN 49073:2007-09. This prescribes the typical dimensions of a switch box (diameter: 60 mm or 68 mm. Depth: 40 mm to 66 mm). The switch ranges of all manufacturers fit into your existing and standardized switch boxes. The situation is different if you want to combine different switch ranges. Although all switch series correspond to the basic installation standard, there are differences in design. As a result, some series are not compatible with other series. Particularly exclusive switch programs are usually also not compatible with other programs. These are usually made of glass, brass, brushed aluminum or stainless steel. TIP:When combining white parts, make sure they have a matching color number (RAL) and the same surface treatment. There may be minor differences. Some covers for buttons and switches match cover frames from other series and manufacturers in terms of shape and size. This allows you to design the control elements in your living room or work area very individually. If you want to combine, we recommend matching the inserts and cover first. In many cases, you will receive these devices as a matching set. This results in the choice of a suitable framework. Many manufacturers produce standardized frames with a cut-out of 55x55mm or 50x50mm. These fit onto correspondingly standardized covers and inserts. Then swapping, combining or varying is possible. If you are not sure, please look at the product description and compare the dimensions given.How do I remove a cover for switches and buttons?You can replace covers for sockets and switches yourself. Please pay attention to your safety, because after removing the covers the current-carrying contacts are exposed. When working with electricity, please disconnect the power supply beforehand. In most cases, the cover or the central plate is screwed to the insert with a small, centrally located screw. You can simply loosen them and carefully pull off the cover.cleaningCentral plates, central discs, rocker switches and cover frames are often touched. We recommend regular cleaning. With a rinse cycle in the dishwasher, all parts become clean again.Some materials are sensitive to heat or water. For example, clean metal covers by hand. Please make sure that the cleaned parts are absolutely dry before you start the cultivation. Place the frame behind the cover and screw it to the insert.Is there a cover for buttons and switches for outdoor use?A special feature are the covers for outdoor use. This is due to the necessary protection against dust, dirt and water. The optimal switch range for use outdoors or in damp rooms is at least IP44 splash-proof. This should also have a reinforced frame, be made of robust material and be mountable to protect it against theft. As a rule, you do not receive such covers individually but in a set. TIP:Many outdoor covers are visually very appealing. These can also find a place in the interior design. Please do not use interior covers in damp rooms or outdoors. As a rule, these switch ranges do not offer the necessary protection.Do covers for switches and buttons break easily?Covers for switches and buttons are actuated several times a day, depending on where they are used. However, the loads on the material are low. The high-quality products from all major manufacturers have proven to be very robust in everyday use. With careful handling, the covers can last for several decades. During assembly and disassembly, there is a risk of damage if, for example, you overtighten the assembly screw.
