The corner channel EK4004009016 from Hager is an installation channel made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with dimensions of 40 mm height, 40 mm width, and a length of 2500 mm. It is finished in traffic white (RAL 9016) and is designed for discreet cable routing in room corners and along skirting boards. The system consists of a channel base with a fixed partition panel, forming two separate chambers, and a domed top cover, enabling a clean and visually appealing electrical installation. The pre-punched floor holes at 125 mm intervals facilitate mounting and securing to substrates.
Applications
This corner channel is designed for indoor use, particularly in areas where an aesthetically pleasing and inconspicuous routing of electrical cables is required. It is ideal for routing data and power cables in residential and commercial spaces where cable runs should not be visible. Installation in corners and along skirting boards allows for an integrated setup that blends visually into the room design.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The channel base features a fixed partition panel, creating two equal chambers with a usable cross-section of 400 mm² each (total 800 mm²). This separation allows for the independent routing of different cable types, such as power and data cables, to minimize interference. The adjustable cable clamps ensure secure cable fixation within the channel and prevent shifting or slipping during operation. The domed top cover seals the channel and protects the installed cables from mechanical damage.
Technical Explanation
The material polyvinyl chloride (PVC) offers good mechanical stability and is suitable for indoor applications. The impact resistance rating IK07 means the channel is protected against mechanical impacts such as light shocks or pressure, making it suitable for use in residential and office buildings. The protection class IP40 ensures the channel is protected against solid foreign objects (minimum 1 mm) but not against water. This makes it suitable for dry indoor environments, but not for damp or wet areas. The traffic white color (RAL 9016) is a standardized white that harmonizes with many interior designs.
Compatibility and Accessories
The corner channel is part of a modular cable management system and can be combined with other components of the Hager system to create complete cable routing solutions. The fixed integrated partition panel enables clear separation of cable paths; no plug-in partition panels are available. The cable clamps are included in the delivery and can be adjusted as needed. The pre-punched floor holes every 125 mm simplify securing to substrates such as plaster, drywall, or wood.
Installation and Mounting
Installation involves securing the channel base to the wall or floor, with the pre-punched holes every 125 mm enabling fastening with screws or anchors. Cables are placed into the respective chambers and secured with the adjustable cable clamps. The domed top cover is then placed on top to seal the channel. Mounting does not require special tools, although a screwdriver or drill is necessary for fastening.
Operational Advantages
The corner channel provides a clean and orderly cable routing that meets aesthetic requirements in residential and office buildings. The separation of cable paths via the fixed partition panel reduces the risk of electromagnetic interference. The integrated cable clamps ensure secure cable fixation, enhancing the long-term stability of the installation. The use of PVC as the material ensures sufficient mechanical strength and weather resistance for indoor use. The traffic white color blends into most interior designs, keeping the channel visually inconspicuous.
Sustainability
The channel is REACh-SVHC free and RoHS-compliant, meaning it does not contain harmful substances within the prescribed limits and is therefore environmentally friendly. These certifications are relevant for use in buildings with high material safety requirements.
