It is also not suitable for installation in areas where the floor structure cannot support the weight of the column or where floor-level cable routing is not feasible.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 8 K45 modules
• Configuration: Double-sided
• Material: Anodized aluminum
• Application: Floor-mounted cable management

How to use

The installation of the Kontakt-Simon ALK224/8 should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards. The unit is mounted directly to the floor surface, with cables routed through the floor or sub-floor system into the column base. Once secured, the desired K45 modules are snapped into the designated slots. Power and data cables are then connected to the rear of the modules, and the faceplates are attached to complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your floor type is compatible with the mounting requirements.
• Ensure that the necessary K45 modules are available for your specific power and data needs.
• Check the cable routing capacity of your existing floor infrastructure.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, ensure that all electrical connections are performed by a certified electrician. Regularly inspect the column for any signs of physical damage and ensure that the modules remain securely seated within their housing.
