As well as being amongst the fastest and easiest of cable distribution floor boxes to install, Ackermann’s Rapide Extra floor boxes include shallow versions as standard.12 NOV 2002
Retaining all the features of Ackermann’s Cablelink Rapide floor box, the new Rapide Extra products are the same size, which means that only one size floor tile cutout is needed. Therefore, both 3 and 4 module boxes may be mixed on site and still allow for changes in layout without the need to cut new apertures in the floor tiles. The 3 module floor box can easily be upgraded to a 4 module box simply by adding an extra module without affecting other services in the box, accommodating future requirements with minimum disruption.
The Floor box is simply dropped into the floor aperture and the release of a patented spring loaded blade mechanism holds the box securely in position. This mechanism in reverse also makes the Rapide Extra floor box one of the easiest and fastest to remove from a floor tile.
Ackermann floor boxes are available in 2, 3 and 4 module variants with overall depths of 80mm, 90mm and 120mm. These have a standard 40mm deep accessory box, with the plug clearance within the box varying between 25.5mm and 65.5mm. Where connector and cabling requirements allow the overall depth can be further reduced to only 70mm by using a special 30mm deep accessory box available on request.
