Being in control of our materials supply-chain is essential for our ability to respond to market need for ever shorter manufacturing lead times.
At Cableflow we have invested heavily in new product and R&D for more than three decades and that innovative approach specifically focused to ensure the security of our component supply.
From 1st January we will deploy our Cableflow manufactured bespoke 13amp socket outlet interior across our entire commercial and healthcare product ranges.
Available as a dual earth, double pole twin switched socket outlet with white or red outboard rockers this addition to our range is totally healthcare focused and ensures security of supply. The component footprint has been designed to match those socket-outlets used historically in our system since 2012 and therefore also applies a retrofit assembly where required.
Manufactured and supported by an Intertek third party certification to BS 1363-2:2023 our socket-outlet is fully complaint with Regulation and tested accordingly as a compliant electrical accessory. This further endorses our regulatory assurances across our product range.
The bespoke approach supplements our currently in-use blue unswitched isolated earth Medical IT (IPS) socket outlets and red unswitched Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) fed socket outlets that have been used across sour manufacturing scope for over 10 years.
Learnings from COVID gave us a good insight into the benefit of being in full control of our supply chain whilst innovating and growing the British manufacturing base of our systems and components.
Although socket-outlets with neon’s are not recommended for use in healthcare facilities (HTM 06-01) we recognise that some overseas markets using BS 1363-2 socket-outlets still have this requirement and consequently our socket-outlet can provide for this.
This approach also embeds our ‘in-house manufacture’ philosophy adopted on our equipotential earth bonding socket also manufactured at our High Wycombe base in the UK and supplied to a wider global healthcare market.
