Cable distribution columns

10 June 2009 Interconnection

Legrand’s cable management system, which has been designed for flexibility and efficiency, as well as easy installation and optimum safety, includes aluminium distribution columns.

These DLP columns and mini-columns consist of an aluminium body, a telescopic ceiling mounting device, protective end caps and white PVC covers. This range is available with two compartments for wall mounting and four compartments that are free-standing, with lengths of 0,70 m, 2,70 m and 3,90 m. A six-module Mosaic mounting frame is used for all poles. The supply to these columns may be from the ceiling or floor, via Legrand’s DL Pass access flooring system.

Legrand floor ducts are used in conjunction with these distribution columns for the supply and protection of power and data cables to these columns, from peripheral power skirting. This non-scratch PVC floor ducting, which is manufactured in black and grey, is available in 2 m lengths and has cross section dimensions of 41 x 10 mm (two compartments) or 75 x 18 mm (three compartments). The latest addition to the range has four compartments, with cross section dimensions of 92 x 20 mm.

Specially designed accessories that ensure easy installation and excellent finish for the 92 x 20 mm ducting, include cover joints, flat angles, end caps and junction boxes. All components of Legrand’s cable management system conform with stringent international quality and safety specifications.
