The operation of public, residential or industrial buildings is impossible without electricity. But it is not always desirable that the wires run along any surface of the room - walls, floors, under the ceiling. This will violate the aesthetic appearance and is not always safe. This issue can be solved with the help of specially created cable channels "Elekor".
Material features
Suspension PVC is used for the manufacture of channels for electrical wiring. Thanks to the use of special additives, the products remain flexible during installation and operation. In addition, PVC with additives does not burn, therefore, in the event of a short circuit, the possibility of a fire is excluded. This was verified by the manufacturer of the cable channel "Elekor" in tests.
Depending on the size range, the wall thickness is from 0.7 mm to 0.24 cm. The length of the channels is 2 m. To remove the cover of the cable channel, you do not need to use additional equipment. The product can be operated withtemperatures from + 60 to - 32 ° С (regardless of the temperature, the structure will maintain its integrity during impacts).
Sectional profile of a U-shaped product. At the highest point of each wall there is a groove equipped with a double lock, where the lid is inserted. Thanks to this, it is possible to mount products even on the surface of the ceiling and place hard objects inside - the lid is tightly held in the lock. It can only be opened from the front side. The item is made of the same material as the main part and is white.
Product advantages and disadvantages
The Elekor cable channel has many indicators that are important for operation. Its use allows:

- Resistant to aggressive external conditions, ultraviolet, artificially controlled climatic environment.
- Insulation has a dielectric strength of about 100 MΩ.
Classification and types
Today, different companies produce a large number of similar products, which allows the use of boxes in the interiors of any style direction - from minimalism to baroque. The Elekor cable channel is classified according to the characteristics:
- Material of production. Steel is an expensive but durable material. Aluminum has an attractive appearance, is expensive and also costs a lot. PVC products are safe, strong, durable and affordable.
- Configuration. The products are available in different shapes for floor, wall, skirting, ceiling and corner applications.
- Design. Products can be decorated in wood, metal, marble, have a solid or colored color.
- Structure. It can be rigid (for mounting on flat surfaces) and flexible, designed for mounting on uneven surfaces.
Produced cable channels have a standard length of 2 m, and a cross section from 12 x 12 to 60 x 100 mm. The most popular countries producing the Elekor cable-channel:
- Poland - E. NEXT.
- Russia - IEC.
- France - "Legrand".
- Russia - EKF.
Of course, products from well-known manufacturers are a little more expensive, but this is the case when it is better to overpay so as not to buy twice: cheap products are inconvenient to use due to their too soft case, they can spontaneously open, lose color over time.
