CD is a company that is focused
on outstanding customer
service, founded on the back
of locally based (Australian), market
leading product design and innovation.
ECD challenges itself by using a policy
of continuous improvement, bringing
these values to its customer base
through its broad range of cable
management and distribution products.
The range of cable management
products is primarily focused on the
commercial, medical, manufacturing, retail
and infrastructure projects, however it
can be equally at home in residential and
other developments. The product range
provides a means of accessing power,
data, voice and the ever increasing need
for audio visual outlets in virtually any
location within a building space.
ECD now offers the latest evolution
of its ever popular range of Floor Outlet
Boxes. Building on a strong history of
the most flexible and simple floor outlet
boxes, it introduces the latest design in
safety, the ‘PROTECTOR’ Series.
The PROTECTOR Series features
the industry first CableShield™ Frame
assembly with non-conductive edge
to prevent cables being guillotined
or damaged.
A common issue arising from the use
of other stainless steel floor boxes is the
risk of cables being damaged through
the miss-use of the floor box. Typically,
plugging leads into the sockets inside
the floor box but failing to route these
cables out of the cable exit correctly
can instantly cause damage as the
sharp edges on the lid cut through. The
Protector Series with the ‘CableShield™
Frame’ prevents this damage.
Other features include a soft-close
lid, a large capacity cable exit flap and a
retainer for cable management.
The solid stainless steel
components have a No.4 linished
finish for an exceptional appearance
and robust performance.
Being leaders in innovation and
design, ECD has made the range
suitable for Category 6A and 7A data
cabling and for AV outlets including
VGA, HDMI, USB etc, with generous
bend radius capacity (75mm deep), this
is sure to be pleasing to technicians
installing data and AV equipment.
ECD strives for simplicity with all
of its products and this range is no
different. Designed to take standard
outlet plates (two, four or six);
installation is easy with the use of any
of the commercially available sockets.
ECD can also make a custom outlet
mounting bracket to suit your project.
The range of floor boxes by ECD
is modular. With stainless steel lids
interchangeable with plastic, deep
recessed stainless or brass and heavy
duty load rated to suit varied floor
finishes and conditions. There is an
optional cam lock if required. All floor
boxes are supplied with a temporary
construction lid.
When safety matters, always specify
and use the PROTECTOR Series.
ECD can provide a wide range of
custom solutions for your project. This
can be as simple as a special colour or
finish applied to one of its products or a
custom, fully engineered and coordinated
product made specifically for a project.
