V-TEC PUSH®: The next generation of cable glands
Pluggable Cable glands guide cables – strain-relieved and sealed – into housing walls or insulated systems. Additionally, they prevent the bending of cables and therefore protect the electrical equipment. New to the OBO portfolio is the pluggable cable gland V-TEC PUSH®.
Grip M UNI collection clamp: Direct mounting or classic screw mounting possible
Direct mounting with a setting tool not only saves time and effort, it also prevents excessive dust formation. This results in a considerable installation advantage, as mounting can be carried out cleanly, quickly, and easily with just one hand – in both new and existing buildings.
OBO cassettes for polished screeds: Aesthetic solutions for jointless floor areas
With OBO cassettes for polished screeds, we offer a unique underfloor solution for integrating access points to the electrical installation seamlessly into the floor surfaces.
Modul-45® sockets: Space-saving installations conveniently implemented
With the announcement of the new socket standard DIN VDE 0620-1:2021-02, we at OBO began developing a new generation of sockets, which we are now presenting at Light + Building. Our development focused on safety and reliability.
A new range: Surge protection for industry applications
Our powerful portfolio for surge protection is specially designed to meet the requirements of demanding industrial environments. OBO solutions help to increase system availability by preventing the main fuse from tripping and the associated failures.
The new generation of OBO earth rods according to DIN 18014
The current DIN 18014 standard permits the use of V4A earth rods with a diameter of 16 mm instead of the previously standard 20 mm for residential buildings with a floor area of up to 400 square meters and for the retrofitting of earthing systems.
The OBO EcoLine: Our portfolio for uncompromising COâ‚‚ reduction
Sustainability has always been a matter of course for OBO and will remain a key focus for the coming years. With the OBO EcoLine, we offer a broad, logically structured product range parallel to the standard line.
Support rail MagicFix: The innovative mounting system with click function
With the MagicFix support rail, OBO is presenting a new product portfolio to complement the existing OBO mounting systems. The solution has been designed especially for efficient, quick installation in response to high time pressure and low staffing levels.
OBO BFK beam clamps
The new portfolio of OBO BFK beam clamps enables cables and mesh cable trays to be mounted directly onto steel beams, thereby expanding the possibilities for flexible installation.
Three for everything: The all-rounders when it comes to fire insulation
Equipped for every task and suitable for a wide variety of installations: these are the three all-rounders from OBO. Whether cables, air conditioning split lines, plastic or metal pipes – with these three OBO fire protection solutions, the right material is available for every challenge.
