How can noise transmission be reduced?
In modern office buildings, device installation trunking is often run through office partitions, creating a connection between multiple offices. Here, there is the problem that noise may be carried through the trunking penetration.
To prevent air conduction of noise, the free cross-section of the trunking remaining can filled with noise insulation after cabling, e.g. air noise barrier, type 7 LSB. The same applies to any gaps between the trunking and the adjoining wall.
When used correctly, the air noise barrier, type 7 LSB, can achieve attenuation of up to 40 dB.
Why is there halogen-free skirting trunking?
Flame-protection agents, based on halogen compounds such as fluorine, iodine, chlorine and bromine, are used to keep the flammability of PVC low. If there is a fire, this safety aspect becomes a dangerous disadvantage: toxic smoke gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, are created. These usually endanger people far faster than flames and heat. Therefore, from a fire protection perspective, halogen-free installation materials are a safe alternative. Completely manufactured from halogen-free plastics, if there is a fire, it reduces the amount of toxic smoke gases and the formation of corrosive substances.
Connectable device installation for Rapid 45?
Modul 45connect stands out through its innovative socket and adapter components and offers numerous application options. The connection adapter, with which sockets can be arranged easily, creates a high level of flexibility.
Thus, it is possible to create multi-socket combinations without the need for additional wiring. Combinations with a maximum of two connection adapters are tested and VDE-approved. 4x to 9x socket combinations can be created easily.
