UL- and VDE-certified cabling ducts
01 October 2018
CONTA-CLIP offers a wide range of UL- and VDE-certified cabling ducts that are said to be notable for their excellent form stability.

They feature tight-fitting covers that allow for easy detachment and reattachment. Pegs with pre-determined breakage points enable customisation of the ducts for incoming and outgoing cabling.
The product comes with deburred edges to minimise the risk of injury during assembly and cable fitting and to protect the cable sheathing. Ducts are supplied with a standard length of 2m. They are made from a rigid PVC material that is lead-free, flame-retardant and self-extinguishing according to UL 94 V-0.
Suitable for use in public buildings, CONTA-CLIP also provides halogen-free versions in accordance with VDE 0472 part 815. The company says that, in a fire, the plastic from which these cabling ducts are made, does not break down to release toxic gases. Moreover, this material meets the F2 and I3 requirements of the NF F 16-101 railway standards.
The product range also includes all necessary tools for mounting, for instance the VKS cutter for 90° angle cuts of cabling ducts up to a width of 125mm. Another one is the ergonomically shaped SN-SW setting tool that allows for secure, high-speed application of expanding rivets. Its long shaft makes it suitable for placing rivets even in very deep ducts and in other places that are otherwise hard to reach. The VK-AKZ notching pliers can be used to work on the walls of a cabling duct and break off the pegs all the way to the bottom. CONTA-CLIP also supplies miscellaneous accessories such as flexible cabling ducts, coiled tubing, wire holders, support lugs and expanding rivets.
