Ellis firefighters installed at Canary Wharf Fireproof cable cleats manufactured by Ellis have been installed throughout the new BP4 Tower at Canary Wharf, London.
Designed specifically for installation with fire
protection (FP) rated cables, the Phoenix cleats are manufactured in 316L stainless steel and are both fireproof and corrosion resistant. They were specified by Hilson Moran through Ellis’ UK distributor, ETS Cable Components, and installed by electrical contractor Phoenix ME.
‘In order for
FP-rated cables to continue working in an emergency they
need to remain intact and in place,’ says Ellis’ UK sales director, Paul Nolan. ‘If these cables aren’t properly restrained then the
risks are clear.’ Working in conjunction with Exova Warringtonfire, BRE and ETS, Ellis developed its Phoenix range in 2011. Before launch, the products underwent a wide range of tests, including exposure to fire, impact and water spray, all of which combined to ensure that the range offers fire protection to the same level as the cables it is installed to protect.

Dimplex Quantum exceeds expectations
The ongoing debate about energy prices and a sustained period of marketing investment has helped to ensure Dimplex’s innovative Quantum heating system continues to be in high demand from installers and homeowners alike. Quantum was the subject of an
extensive radio advertising campaign on Talksport throughout October, November and December 2013, as well as more than 100 in-store wholesaler displays and additional point-of-sale support that have been distributed across the UK. Quantum gives users the chance to store off-peak
energy and use it when they need it, and the radio advertising campaign was extended after it resulted in significant increases in the number of people visiting the Dimplex website, searching for information on where to buy the product. The heater was also named Best Energy & Carbon
Saving Product in the Electrical Industry Awards in November. Karen Trewick, director of communications at
Dimplex, said: ‘Quantum has proved a revolution in the electric heating market and it’s no surprise to us that it has proved so popular.’

Integral LED launches breakthrough lamp
A breakthrough technology in the LED lighting market has successfully tackled the issues restraining consumer demand. Although it is generally
acknowledged that LED lamps will dominate the lighting market in the future, recent studies indicate only a modest share of current demand. Integral, a British company that exclusively supplies LED lighting, has answered some of the key objections that have held customers back. The company's new OMNI-Lamp is heralded as the innovation that will trigger the mass adoption of LED lighting in the home. At first glance, the OMNI-Lamp range contains the
most conventional-looking LED lamps on the market. Both the GLS and the Candle versions look and feel like an incandescent bulb. New technology has dispensed with the need for
heavy drivers and heat management. The GLS has an illumination of 470lm at only 4.6W power consumption – the OMNI lamp has broken the A++ barrier at more than 100lm/W. Significantly, the distribution of light, which has been limited in earlier LED designs, is cast across 330 degrees, which is comparable with a filament bulb.

Marshall-Tufflex New Cat 6 and Steel Systems brochures Cable management specialist Marshall-Tufflex has produced new brochures aimed specifically at contractors and specifiers requiring high performance Cat 6 compliant trunking or steel cable management. The British manufacturer believes it has a well- designed, hard-wearing and installer-friendly solution for almost any project. For Cat 6 installations, Marshall-Tufflex has 10 market-
leading products, all outlined in new brochure Cat 6 Compliant Trunking Systems, an easy to use guide with images, measurements, cable capacities and bend radius details for each of the profiles, including unique Odyssey all-curved profile, Twin 165 (which provides greater space for data cabling), and extra high capacity Sterling XL.
Marshall-Tufflex has also just redesigned its steel
range, System 130 and System 170, removing the internal ‘C’ rail in both and replacing it with a multi-purpose clip that slots quickly and easily into position. The clips can be used to hold dividing fillets, transforming the trunking from a single channel to two or three compartments. Information about the updated range is contained in new brochure Steel Trunking System. Both brochures are available to download from the Marshall-Tufflex website or by calling its customer services team on 01424 856600.
New catalogue for Marco Marco Cable Management, a uPVC cable management company and the UK’s largest manufacturer of steel wire cable tray, has launched its new-look catalogue, following a complete overhaul and redesign. The catalogue, available either in a hard copy or as an online download, now contains more than 100 pages of important product and technical information, as well as many case studies and examples of the products in situ.
