OBO Bettermann Rapid 45-2 GK-53100 Series Device Installation Trunking System & Accessories

Overview

• The OBO Bettermann Rapid 45-2 is a comprehensive and versatile device installation trunking system, engineered for seamless and aesthetically superior cable management in modern buildings.
• This system, primarily focusing on the GK-53100 trunking profile (100mm width x 53mm height), offers a complete solution for routing power, data, and multimedia cables along walls while allowing for the effortless integration of OBO's Modul 45 series devices.
• Characterized by its symmetrical design, consistent color quality across components, and robust construction, the Rapid 45-2 system ensures a professional finish in offices, commercial spaces, educational institutions, and administrative buildings.
• The trunking itself is made from durable PVC, while the extensive range of fittings – including joint covers, end pieces, internal and external corners, flat angle hoods, T-piece adapters, and base connectors – are typically crafted from high-impact PC/ABS, many of which are halogen-free.
• This system is available in Pure White (RAL 9010), Light Grey (RAL 7035), and Jet Black (RAL 9005), allowing for perfect visual integration into diverse interior designs.

Ideal Use

• Modern Office Buildings: For distributing power and data to workstations, in conference rooms, and along corridors, ensuring a clean and adaptable infrastructure.
• Commercial and Retail Spaces: Providing a neat and accessible way to manage cabling for POS systems, lighting, security, and displays.
• Educational Facilities: Safely routing cables in classrooms, lecture halls, libraries, and laboratories.
• Healthcare Environments: Suitable for administrative areas, waiting rooms, and patient rooms where organized cable management is crucial (always verify specific healthcare regulations).
• Public and Administrative Buildings: Offering a standardized and professional solution for cable routing in government offices and public institutions.
• Any Application Requiring Integrated Device Mounting: Perfect for installations that need to combine power outlets, network sockets, USB charging ports, HDMI, and other multimedia connections directly within the trunking system.

Tips

• System Planning: Before installation, meticulously plan the trunking layout. Account for all necessary device locations, corners, junctions, and terminations to ensure you order the correct quantities and types of trunking and fittings.
• Color Coordination: For the most professional finish, ensure all trunking sections and accessories (joint covers, end pieces, corners, etc.) are ordered in the same color variant (Pure White, Light Grey, or Jet Black).
• Cutting Trunking (PVC): Use a fine-toothed saw (e.g., coping saw) for clean, precise cuts on PVC trunking. Deburr cut edges for safety and a better fit with accessories.
• Secure Mounting: Utilize the pre-drilled perforations in the trunking base for direct and secure wall attachment. Select fasteners appropriate for the wall material.
• Accessory Installation:
  • GK-OTSA45 Joint Covers: Snap onto the trunking cover to conceal cuts and create seamless transitions to Modul 45 devices or other cover segments.
  • GK-KS45-1 Connectors: Slide onto the ends of trunking bases before mounting to create a secure and neat joint between base segments.
  • Hood Fittings (Corners, T-Pieces, Flat Angles): These generally attach over the cut trunking ends, often securing to both the trunking and sometimes requiring an additional wall fixing point (as shown for flat angle hoods GK-FH type).
• Modul 45® Device Installation: These devices are designed for tool-free click-in installation directly into the trunking cover openings or via specific adapters, streamlining the device mounting process.
• Cable Separation: When running power cables alongside data or communication lines, always use the GK-TW53 internal partition to prevent electromagnetic interference and comply with relevant regulations.
• Handling Cut Edges: All accessories are designed to conceal cut edges of the trunking, ensuring a safe and visually appealing installation.
• Temperature Considerations: Adhere to the permitted temperature ranges for both PVC trunking and PC/ABS accessories to ensure long-term performance and material integrity.
