Cabling & Cable Management 10 Ensuring cable standards
COVER STORY I
n this month’s cover story, Unitrunk’s latest product release looks to set new records in cable management installation speeds. David Morrow, managing director at Unitrunk
comments, “Unitrunk has built a strong reputation globally by placing a combined emphasis on providing outstanding customer service and continuous innovation, throughout our more than 50 years in the cable management industry. We listen to our customers and innovate both our products, and our production processes, to better service their needs and those of the industry. QuickFix is the most recent result of our commitment to continuous improvement and marks a new era in cable management, but with more new products in the pipeline for 2021, our Innovation and Design team is still going strong. Our new range of trunking enables install
speeds up to 6 times faster and provides a cable management solution which is IP4X compliant as standard. Both these benefits will result in less time onsite and a subsequent reduction in project labour costs, something our customers always appreciate, but perhaps even more relevant in today’s more challenging climate.”
