The Cable Guy

Newlec product presentation

Data integrity is vital in a modern working environment,

so with the launch of the Newlec Cat 6 trunking we get our

product tester Ewhen Kochan from Leksicon Ltd to put it

through its paces.

“Having marked off the trunking to a height of 90mm on the wall and checked its alignment using a spirit level, my first job is to fix the base.”

“I have marked off where I need the fixings to go through the predrilledholes in the base.The trunking is thencut to length using a hacksaw.”

To maintain a Cat 6 rating overlap the trunking base

on internal corners and use segregators for the

external corners.

Step 2: Now to determine where the accessories will be fitted……….

“The knockouts on the back boxes are easily removed by pressing them out by hand. The back boxes simply snap into place, which I do now to visualise the installation, they are easy enough to

remove before cabling begins.”

“Next I work out where to drill through from the top compartment

to find the centre for the data cabling. The shallow V groove in the compartment wall of the divider is a

real help in positioning the drill.”

“Having worked out where the back boxes go, I just remove them, lay the cables and then snap them back into position.”

“Right, I just need to feed the cabling into the back boxes and

then terminate them in the accessory..”

and, yes, this is great

Step 4: Almost done, I just need to fit the covers…

“Again these are easily cut to length and simply snap into position. Final job is to fit the corners, joint covers and end caps and check that no gaps exist between the fittings and the

trunking covers.”

and, yes, this is great.. Completed installation Review:

The trunking is easy and fast to fit. With the extra bend radius on the corners it is also Cat 6 compliant making it suitable for virtually all modern commercial projects. It also looks good which is important for the end user
