Prestige 3D

Prestige 3D is the new three compartment dado trunking system from MK that satisfies the need for

compliance with the Cat 6 structured cabling standard and the desire for easier and faster installation.

Prestige 3D meets both these demands, while maintaining the stylish high aesthetics of Prestige Plus™

and Compact™.

Features

l Greater trunking depth to cater for Cat 6 structured cabling systems, supports 45mm deep back boxes

l Fast installation, approximately 30% time saving* compared to Prestige Plus™

l Cat 6 compliant Data Sweep™, with no loss of capacity and without the need for bulky or bulbous external corners

l Flexible Internal and External Corners compensate for poor building tolerances

l Divider Knockouts combined with open back boxes, making wiring easier and faster with no drilling or cutting

l Two stage Hinge Lids enable cables to be supported by trunking cover during installation, and makes retro-installation of additional cables simpler

l Cat 6 compliant moulded Flat Angles, Tees and Internal/External Corners

* Based on internal installation trials of a typical small office configuration of approximately 15m2

Prestige 3D Features

SCREW FIxING KITWhere higher security is required, all fitting covers can be

secured using the Screw Fixing Kit. The Screw Fixing Kit

is self-locating and self-drilling on the styling line of the

system and has cover to hide the screw head.

PRE-PuNCHED bASESWall fixing is simplified

by the inclusion of pre-

punched oval holes at

110mm intervals, ensures

no drilling is required.

FLAT TEES AND ANGLESThe ingenuity of the tee design allows a variety of cable drop

permutations. The tee’s bridge can be fitted in two positions

increasing the versatility of cable runs whilst maintaining the

correct separation and Cat 6 compliance. Screw fixing hole

locations have a protective shroud to prevent the chafing

of cables. Both the Flat Angle and Tee compartment divider

walls are curved (Cat 6 compliant) to allow data cables to

lay in with no loss of capacity. The covers are one piece and

clip securely into place, and the base is also a single moulded

item, giving more strength than fabrication. Couplers are

not required where the tee/angle meets the trunking as the

moulded covers now overlap the junction.

ExTERNAL CORNERExternal Corners accommodate +/- 5

degree irregularities in the squareness

of a corner. Corners come ready

assembled to click into place, and offset

side split can be hidden on a non-

prominent face to maximise aesthetics.

DATA SWEEP™The unique patented Data Sweep™

provides Cat 6 data cabling

compliance, with no loss of capacity

and without the need for bulky,

protruding corner covers.

STyLING LINESAll fittings are moulded

with styling lines for

aesthetic continuity.

END CAPSNeatly finish runs of

trunking, (moulding

provides internal location

for extra security from

optional screw fixing).

DIvIDER

KNOCKOuTSWiring is also made

easy with 50 x 21mm

knockouts at 110mm

intervals along

compartment dividers,

providing instant access

to open back boxes, with

no drilling or cutting.

bACK bOxES1 gang, 2 gang and 3 gang ‘open box’ 45mm deep back boxes

allowing ease of connection to power and data devices. The open

top/bottom allows unhindered tool free cable entry, through the

trunking compartment divider knockout. The back box can slide

to align with appropriate knockout.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCEAdditional data cable/signal protection is

provided by fitting screening divider VP30.

TRuNKING HINGE LIDSA two stage location gives a

hinge effect, enabling cables

to be supported by the

trunking cover during the

installation, thereby reducing

the need for cable retainers.

Cover design avoids dust

traps and makes cleaning

easier, and continues the

aesthetics of the trunking.

PROFILE170 x 57mm profile to suit

most installation needs.

Available in white, charcoal

and choice of RAL colours.

INTERNAL CORNERDesigned to accommodate

irregularities in the squareness

of the corner with a +/- 5

degrees flexibility range. The

centre split gives maximum

adjustment. Covers are radiused

and compatible with Cat 6 data

cabling requirements.

CONDuIT ADAPTORSingle adaptor for conduit and

mini-trunking (20 and 25mm

conduit YT2 and YT4 mini

trunking). Supplied with bridge.
