Marshall-Tufflex profile installed at airport

Cable management products from Marshall-Tufflex have been specified for the Dublin Airport passenger terminal.

Products were selected for three main reasons; ease and speed of installation, aesthetic qualities and short lead times for product delivery.

Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) required the construction project to run to a tight deadline, with specifiers and specialist contractors working to an equally specific approved list of building products suppliers and systems.

Marshall-Tufflex's all-curved profile trunking Odyssey was installed in 150 offices within T2.

The CAT 6 compliant profile was also installed in front-of-house desk areas.

Non-standard, extra deep back boxes from Marshall-Tufflex were used within the Odyssey profile to comply with the space requirement from the structured cabling specifier for the termination of CAT 6 outlets.

The second specification change centred around the DAA's requirement for steel conduit in parts of the new terminal building.

Marshall-Tufflex's three-layer LSOH conduit MT Supertube was installed within ceilings throughout the project.

MT Supertube has polyethylene internal and external layers that sandwich and seal the welded aluminium tube within to allow quick and safe segregation of cables.

The system, approved for use in London Underground, assists in conforming to the EMC directive in regard to EMI shielding and is resistant to temperature extremes.

20mm and 25mm fittings are available in steel, polycarbonate and PVC-U.

All Marshall-Tufflex products were supplied by its sole Irish distributor, Core Electrical.
