Desk & Workstation Modules

Whether it's for power only, voice only, data only or any combination of the three, we will probably already have designed the module; if not, a bespoke module can be designed to suit specifications.

Power Options can include:
Standard or non-standard (13 Amp) sockets or, sockets for another country; with or without leads: leads, with or without plugs: in-line fuse, 20Amp DP Control Switch with neon indicator, ELCB, RCD, MCB/RCD.

Data Connections can include:
RJ45, IBM/LAN, 25-pin, BNC

Voice Sockets can include:
RJ45, LJ 6C, LJ 21/A, RJ11
In response of power, modules will be built to conform either to BS 6396 or the Wiring Regulations of the I.E.E., or, where appropriate, both.

Protection, fuse and 20Amp DP Control

Double-Shuttered Socket

The first real improvement to the 13 Amp socket in fifty years!

Now YOU SEE IT......
NOW YOU DON'T.....


The sliding, double-shuttered socket is another first for the Company. Protected by worldwide patents, here is the ultimate in a safety socket.

Ideal in desking environments: Prevent ingress of dirt and dust and, more importantly, staples!
Splash-proof: Gives more time to wipe up hat upset cup of coffee. A positive deterrent to socket vandals.

General

  • Socket densities can vary. e.g. if transformers (chargers) are prevalent, sockets could be at 150 mm pitch instead of 78 mm pitch.
  • Modules in metal and black leatherette finish. Fully earthed screened against data interference.
  • Modules able to contain POWER, VOICE and DATA, all in one module.
  • Sockets can be different colours, red, yellow, blue, white - standard or non-standard.
  • Sockets can be supplied with the unique double-shuttered arrangement - unique to Electropatent.
  • Modules are available with all types of circuit protection - MCB/RCD, in-line fuse, D. P. 20 amp resistive and inductive switch, i.e. 20/20. MCB only, RCD only.
  • All modules employ the Electropatent unique, patented, busbar system.

B.S. 6396
Electropatent desk modules fall outside the scope of BS6396. As a result of the following:-

  • No restriction on number of sockets - 2 to 20 socket modules available.
  • Lead length not restricted to 2 m.
  • 3.15 and 6.3 Amp fuses not used - only BS1362 fuses used e.g. 3, 5, 7, 10 and 13 Amp. Not prone to rupturing easily; easily replaceable.
  • Very wide range of options available e.g. modules with terminal chamber: modules with Wieland Connectors each end, and so on.
  • Modules are categorised as portable appliances and relevant testing applies.

Electricity at Work

  • There is a requirement to test at least 10% of terminals per annum. Because of the use of the busbar system, sockets do not have terminals therefore nothing to check. The only terminals are on modules with a terminal chamber containing a maximum of three terminals. Overall saving to end user inestimable!
