The base channel SL200551 from Hager is an installation component made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), specifically designed for cable routing in base channel systems with dimensions of 20 mm width and 55 mm height. It serves as a foundation for mounting device installation units and enables structured and concealed cable routing along walls or baseboards. The product is available in black and has a length of 2000 mm, making it suitable for longer installations. The PVC construction contains at least 30 % recycled material, highlighting the product's sustainability.

The base unit is designed for indoor use and offers a robust structure for accommodating cables and electrical devices. It features two separate chambers, enabling clear separation between different cable management systems or distinct functions (e.g., power supply and data cables). The maximum capacity is four cables in total, with a cable diameter of 11 mm and 50 % fill, where the first chamber can hold two cables and the second chamber three cables. This division simplifies organization and maintenance of the installation.

The channel design allows for quick and easy installation. Mounting is achieved via floor mounting holes, securing the base unit firmly to the substrate. The partition wall within the channel ensures clear separation of the two chambers and supports structured cable routing. The PVC material is durable and offers sufficient impact resistance according to standard IK07, providing a certain level of mechanical protection. The protection class IP40 safeguards against entry of solid foreign objects larger than 1 mm in diameter, protecting against dust and finger contact, but not against water or splashing water.

The use of PVC as the material ensures good dimensional stability and weather resistance for indoor applications. The integrated partition wall enables spatial separation of cables, which is particularly beneficial when routing data and power lines. The IP40 protection class is suitable for use in dry indoor environments where no direct moisture or splashing water occurs. The IK07 impact resistance protects the device from moderate mechanical stresses, such as those encountered during normal handling or minor impacts.

The base channel SL200551 is specifically designed for use with the SL system 20x55 mm. It is compatible with matching top covers and accessories such as the device carrier skirt SL20055A9016 in traffic white, and the base channel top SL2005529016, also in traffic white. These components enable a complete and aesthetically pleasing covering of the channel, with the color scheme allowing for a clear visual distinction between the black base and the white top. The combination with these accessories is suitable for professional installations.

Installation is performed using the designated mounting holes at the bottom of the channel. The installation requires no additional tools other than a screwdriver or drilling device to insert the mounting screws. The length of 2000 mm allows for routing over longer distances, with the chambers pre-formed to enable direct cable installation. The partition wall ensures that cables in the individual chambers are not mixed.

The product provides clear structuring of cable routing, simplifying maintenance and expansion of the installation. The use of at least 30 % recycled material contributes to reducing the ecological footprint. The robust PVC construction ensures long service life and reliable performance. The IP40 protection class and IK07 impact resistance offer sufficient protection for typical indoor installations. Compatibility with additional SL system components enables modular and flexible planning of the entire cable management system.

The product is designed for operating temperatures between 5 °C and 60 °C, making it suitable for most indoor installations. The material properties of PVC ensure stable performance within this temperature range.

The product is REACh-SVHC free and RoHS-compliant, confirming the use of non-hazardous materials and compliance with European environmental regulations for electrical equipment and components. The use of at least 30 % recycled plastic contributes to resource conservation.
