Soluflex... paving the waywith integratedcable management Legrand’s latest development, Soluflex, is much morethan just a raised floor. This innovative new systemintegrates low-level flooring with Legrand’s marketleading cable management solutions.  All cables for power, data, and telecoms can bestructured in a logical, ready to use layout that remainshidden to end users. Quick and easy installation You don’t have to be a flooring expert to install Soluflex.It’s simply a question of placing supports on the floor andthen clicking the durable steel tiles into place (without theneed for glue or fixings).  Once the floor has been laid, the required cabling andconnections can be installed between the supports byremoving the relevant tiles until cabling is complete. Thefinished installation can then be covered with any type ofcovering... carpet tiles, rubber, stone or wood. And if theoffice layout changes, or even relocates, Soluflex can bereconfigured and re-used. SOLUFLEX ® Complete system with a wide range of accessories and access solutions Easy access to power and data withbuilt-in cavity floor boxes Simple clip together assembly withoutthe need for fixings or adhesives  4

5 Freedom of  design Soluflex creates well organised, multifunctional roomswhere users will always have enough connection points.At the design stage, it’s no longer necessary to keep trackof the connection points for power and data. The cablingcan be installed anywhere under the entire floor and thelocation of connections can be determined at any stage. Save time. Save money Soluflex offers considerable time-saving as floors andcables can be installed virtually simultaneously.  The supports and tiles are wear-resistant, offering long-term savings.  Adding or restructuring connection points can be done ina matter of minutes, without cutting or breaking cables.

Soluflex ® cable floor system  general installation instructions Installing the Soluflex cable floor system • Start with a dry, clean and level sub-floor that is suitable for laying normal carpet. If the floor does not meet these requirements, level it first • Start in the corner of the room and click the tiles into the plastic supports. Leave a 10 mm gap between the wall and tile to allow for expansion. Continue to build the floor like this and cut fitting tiles or edge plates to size • You are now ready to open the cable routes using your cabling plan. Make sure that the cables are not placed under proposed locations of filing cabinets or other furniture as this limits flexibility • The corners of the tiles have small recesses to enable them to be lifted using a screwdriver. Once one tile has been removed, the others can be removed by hand • Now place the power track or cables into the cable routes, taking into account any extra cabling requirements for future flexibility • By installing more outlet boxes you will be able to realise extra connections without interruption later • Dependent on the floor height being installed, a choice can be made from various (pre-wired) outlet units in or on the cable floor • Earth the cable floor system every 100 m 2 by means of an earthing tile • In stretched areas such as corridors, place an earthing tile at least every 14 metres • The electrical installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician in conjunction with the requirements of the latest wiring regulations • To create 'islands', install steps with step corners to ensure a neat finishing of the system • The ramp provides a constant transition from an existing floor to the Soluflex cable floor system • The entire system can easily be dismounted and installed again as required, giving Soluflex a virtually unlimited life • The finished installation can then be covered with rubber, stone, wood or carpet tiles • Finishing with carpet tiles is advised for true flexibility and accessibility of the system Ramp Cable routes Completed Soluflex installation Finished example with carpet tiles 17
