    It's fair to say that MT32 has proved a revelation for many people working within, or allied to, the electrical industry. Not only does it save time and money, it delivers super quick installations that are, quite simply, impossible to get wrong.

  • An innovative approach
    Investing in innovative cable management and identification products, designed or customised specifically for an application, can save time on site and can therefore be more cost-effective than choosing a standard alternative. Here, Andrew Parmenter, UK Head of Marketing for HellermannTyton, explains.

    Largely driven by the changing needs of electrical contractors and engineers, cable management and identification products have come a long way over the past few decades. This has been the result of a number of factors. Firstly, as the industry has continued to evolve, new builds and refurbishments have become more complex, leading to a greater need for innovative cabling solutions which assist in the design element rather than acting purely as a function of the building. 

  • Powerful proof of application suitability
    Time is money. In any construction project the old adage rings true for both contractors and clients. Keeping costs down whilst delivering a quality end product without going over schedule continues to be a challenging process for contractors of all kinds. It's little wonder then that contractors and their suppliers alike are constantly looking for new ways of reducing the time they need to spend on site. Tim Brown, National Specification Manager at Cablofil explains.

    For electrical contractors, the advent of steel wire cable management tray has dramatically reduced data cable installation times, and, as a consequence, helped reduce costs too.  Up to 40% quicker to install than traditional perforated steel tray, steel wire tray can be cut, shaped and fixed on site.  What's more, the installer does not need to be a qualified electrician, allowing contractors to free up the time of skilled workers for other tasks and speed up the electrical installation still further.
