Technical
Cablelink Plus Single Pan
Cablelink Plus Single Pan Box provides an effective interface
between services beneath the floor and the office environment.
Robust design, constructed with a single piece metal frame, the
floorbox is available with 1 to 4 compartments and a choice of
95
mm or 70mm box depths.
l
Tested to EN50085-2-2 to accept 5000N load
l
Designed to support Cat 6 structured cabling systems
l
70
mm pan depth has been designed for those applications with
shallow voids
l
Device plate can be adjusted to provide increased wiring space or
greater plug top clearance
l
Self closing lid in accordance with IEC 61534-22
l
Quality, reliability and safety come as standard
l
Provision of RCD protection supports compliance with the 17th Edition
Wiring Regulations

Materials
All plastic components are manufactured from UL94 V2 rated nylon.
Metal components are manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, accessory
plates are powdercoated or colour coated.
Standards
The Cablelink Plus Single Pan Box supports compliance with the
latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and to
BS EN50085 Part 1 and EN50085 Part 2-2. Additionally the floorboxes also
comply with IEC 60670 Parts 1 and 23.
Installation
Cablelink Plus Single Pan boxes should not be installed in the following
situations:
l
Where protruding electrical cables are likely to cause a safety hazard
l
In passageways, especially where trolleys or other vehicles may be used
l
On escape routes, as this may impede the evacuation of the occupants
from the building
l
Where the cleaning methods employed result in the formation of pools
of liquid or soaking of the floor surface
l
Desks, chairs, shelving, filing cabinets should not be positioned on the
floorbox as this will interfere with opening the lid

Load Testing
Load Testing of Floorboxes to draft pr EN50085 Part 2-2 (Clauses 10.5.103
and 10.5.104).
The floorboxes have been tested to and comply with the loading requirements
of draft pr EN50085 Part 2-2 (Cable trunking systems and cable ducting
systems for electrical installations Part 2-2: Particular requirements for
cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems intended for mounting
underfloor, flushfloor, or onfloor).
There are two loading criteria for the floorboxes - one with a point loading
to replicate foot traffic for example, and the other, with a large plate to
replicate fork trucks and heavier larger loads for example. For both loading
criteria the maximum allowable deflection under load is 6mm and the
maximum permanent deflection after the load has been removed is 3mm.
The Lid Deflection (loading) graph shows that the maximum point loading
classification achieved is 3kN and the maximum large plate loading
classification achieved is 5kN.
The Permanent Deflection graph shows the permanent deflection from
the test wheel loading at 3kN is 0.55mm and large plate loading at 5kN is
0.4
mm. This is well within the maximum allowable deflection of 3.0mm. The
loading position is the centre of the lid.
Note: This test data specifically refers to the 265x265mm sized floorbox
frame assembly. The other floorbox sizes also comply with the required
test criteria. Declarations of conformity are available on request for the
entire range.

Cat 6 Compatibility
With the introduction of Cat 6 data cabling the orientation and depth of
many data outlets has changed resulting in the need for greater backbox
depths and wiring space to accommodate these longer data outlet. No
longer is a 35mm wiring space sufficient to ensure data terminations can
be made to the manufacturer’s recommendations to prevent transmission
losses. As a result MK has introduced 45mm wiring space for the Cablelink
Plus Floorbox systems (as well as for the Prestige 3D wall trunking system.)
This easily accommodates the longer Cat 6 data outlets and leaves sufficient
space for the data cable to run underneath it.
