Advanced ranges of cable management systems available from Moss Electrical 
(02/01/2008)
Moss Electrical will shortly relocate to Dartford, following their purchase of a 150,000 sq ft warehouse close to Junction 1a of the M25.
Moss has always integrated into their stock the most up to date equipment available on the market. They now have the most advanced ranges of cable management systems on hand, ranging from cable ladder, trunking, channel, basket, and cable tray to conduit systems and fixings. Moss invested heavily in a cable management and fixings catalogue, which is freely available in hard copy and CD Rom.
Over the past few years, Moss has teamed up with leading suppliers Legrand, Adaptaflex and Marshall Tufflex, to offer a comprehensive and state of the art range of cable management solutions to electrical and mechanical contractors throughout the UK.
Robert Moss, Managing Director of Moss Electrical comments: “Our cable management systems are an integral part of our business, therefore it is imperative that Moss can offer our customers a full variety of cable management products. Marshall Tufflex and Legrand are two market-leading cable management brands within the electrical and mechanical industry and therefore an ideal partner to plan our growth with.”
Complete solutions of maxi trunking, mini trunking and round conduit from Marshall Tufflex are available from Moss, including MT supertube and Marshall Tufflex’s Sterling Perimeter Trunking Systems.
Maxi Trunking has been developed with the data installer in mind, with slow angles, giving generous bend radii for high performance data cables. Mini Trunking has been designed to match both square and radius cornered surface mounted switch and socket boxes. Round conduit is manufactured from super high impact PVC-U.
MT Supertube has a unique three-layer LSOH construction and is ideal for installation in hazardous areas including hospitals, stadiums, airports, shopping centres and office complexes. It is available in black, white or red and can be supplied in short lengths or in single coil lengths up to 100 metres.
Marshall Tufflex’s sterling perimeter systems are widely recognised as the first choice in cable management and they offer modular, multi compartmental containment in a variety of sizes, cable capacities, colours and finishes.
Also available at Moss Electrical are the Marshall-Tufflex Sterling Mono, Mono Plus and Sterling Twin Plus Aluminium range, (with a large bend radius of 50mm), steel systems, series 507 floor distribution systems and Snakeway, the unique steel cable support system that can be bent by hand.
As well as traditional closed systems like trunking, for cable management requirements in and around ceilings, Moss supplies Legrand’s market leading ‘Swifts’ brand with cable tray, cable ladder and the brand new range of the Swifts SW steel wire cable tray with simple slot together installation. The range of Legrand stainless steel wire basket cable tray available at Moss has the advantage of improved cable ventilation and the flexibility of easily creating bends on site to fit any cabling configuration. This can result in major savings in planning and design and installation time.
Over the past decade steel wire cable tray, or ‘cable basket’, as it is sometimes known, a concept which started out as an idea back in the 1970’s, has been steadily growing in popularity. Wire tray cable management is now used as an all-purpose support system for cable, including power, data, building management systems and security. Recent reports suggest that its use in UK cable installations could more than double over the next few years, becoming more dominant over the traditional perforated steel metal, given its shorter installation times and user friendliness .
Also on offer at Moss is the Adaptaflex range of steel and flexible conduit systems. Adaptaflex is the first manufacturer in the world to have its products licensed under the BSI Kitemark scheme. The new standard, BS EN 61386, covers the performance characteristics of flexible conduit systems.
The super low fire hazard Polyketone system, Type PK offers high UV resistance, flexibility and fatigue life and is suitable for both static and flexing applications. It is also available from Moss with stainless steel or tinned copper overbraids for critical and harsh environments. Similarly, the Type PR enhanced low fire hazard overbraided system is also in stock.
A new addition to the product range is a non-metallic, flexible conduit system, Type CP, specifically developed by Adaptaflex for rail use. According to Adaptaflex the Type CP conduit is already finding favour with leading international locomotive and carriage builders. Utilising a special co-polymer material that combines the benefits of the existing PI and PR conduits, it offers high flexibility, with a wide operating temperature range, Low Fire Hazard (LFH) capability and extremely low toxicity. This makes it ideal for use inside or beneath trains and carriages, as well as on public transport, light rail and tramway systems.
An added advantage is that it facilitates the use of the extensive range of world renowned, one piece, push and twist Adaptalok fittings, making installation both fast and effective. For areas which are regularly washed down, Moss’ range of Adaptaflex IP68 (immersion proof) conduit systems can, if properly installed and sealed, stand up to the most rigorous cleaning regimes and fully protect the cables within from mechanical, chemical, and water damage.
Other well known cable management brands available at Moss include Mita, Furse, Pemsa, MK and Ackermann. All of these cable management systems are detailed in Moss Electrical’s new Cable Management Solutions Catalogue. Moss has given much thought to making their new Cable Management Catalogue friendly as possible. One of the principal ways in which Moss has achieved this is by regrouping their huge cable management range in more easily identifiable colour coded areas within the catalogue.
