Marshall-Tufflex - MT32 – your fast, flexible friend


(50% costs savings. 80% quicker. 100% satisfaction)

Faster, easier and more cost-effective – that’s the promise from Marshall-Tufflex for the MT32 Power Connection System.

It’s rare that a genuinely innovative new product hits the market – but that is just what Marshall-Tufflex has achieved with MT32.

The 32 amp power connection system delivers tool-free, fast-track installation of complete cabling runs, from power source to final outlet, allowing contractors to complete jobs up to 80% faster.

The thinking behind the product is simple. Before MT32, electrical contractors had little choice but to manually hard wire floor boxes or sockets within trunking. Each of these could take up to 20 minutes to complete – a huge amount of time if a large number were going into, for example, a call centre.

It was also laborious, repetitive work that needed to be carried out by qualified professionals, tying skilled workers up for lengthy periods of time.

MT32 sweeps these problems aside by delivering a system that allows electrical contractors to connect final outlets in about five minutes (skilled operators may even achieve it in under three minutes). So, for each final accessory or floor box wired manually, contractors may now be able to install four or more in the same time by using MT32.

The 32 amp product has been developed by British manufacturer Marshall-Tufflex in conjunction with Tyco Electronics and, for the first time, offers contractors and specifiers a real alternative to more traditional methods of installation.

MT32 is ideally suited for all manner of new-build and refurbishment schemes, from schools to offices, hospitals and healthcare facilities to call centres and even exhibition space, boats and mobile homes. It is available in three versions:

A flexible cabling system. This takes power cabling through trunking to a plug and play connection in pre-wired, pre-tested accessory boxes. The three or four pole male and female mechanically keyed connectors click together and cannot be installed incorrectly.
An underfloor system. Floor boxes are supplied pre-wired and pre-tested with male and female connectors. Power can be fed from the distribution unit or powertrack via flexible leads available in a variety of lengths. This system is particularly suited to irregular lay-outs and the supply feed can be daisy chained to additional boxes.
A dry-lining system. This takes cabling to fast-fit, pre-wired, pre-tested boxes in hollow walls.
One client is using MT32, together with Sterling Compact trunking, in the place of busbars for a shop fit out. If, in future, the position of sockets needs changing, it’s a simple task to remove the trunking lid, disconnect the accessory box and re-configure MT32 as required. For this client, whose shops are kitted out with large amounts of technical equipment, this ability to quickly and simply shift power sockets around is reason enough to specify MT32, not even taking into account its time/cost savings and safety features.

The same customer is also expanding its network of retail premises in the UK and wanted a power connection system that perfectly suited the drive towards modular build – each of its stores follows the same template for branding and design, so selecting MT32 matched perfectly its ethos to develop sites to a proven formula.

And not only is MT32 a dream product in terms of faster fit outs, it has been developed to offer users error-free installation thanks to the mechanically keyed ‘plug and play’ connectors that cannot be clicked together incorrectly. This also guarantees consistent connection and guaranteed polarity. What’s more, this connection method allows the system to be re-used or re-configured at a later date, making MT32 completely suited to environments where layouts may need reconfiguring, or for temporary applications.

An MT spokesman said: “MT32 is a safe, fast-track system that demands less site time yet delivers higher integrity systems at a lower cost. It removes the margin for error, and the sheer speed at which the system can be installed makes deadlines more achievable and offers significant time and cost savings to contractors, allowing installer resources to be moved onto other work. MT32 puts an end to on-site cabling and preparation, delivering safe, error-free connections that make circuit-testing a formality.

“Until now, the market had not seen a 32 amp plug and play system that was able to incorporate a connector small enough to be used in a practical way. MT32 changes all that,” he added.

“The MT32 Power Connection System lends itself to all regular commercial projects, off-site modular building, POD building, exhibition construction and many other applications. It is, quite simply, a revolutionary prospect for an electrical industry looking at ways to meet the shortages of skilled labour, spiralling costs and increased safety standards.”

MT32 utilises a compact in-line connector to deliver on its promises. All installers need to do is click it together, circuit test and sign-off.

Boxes and connectors are all pre-wired and pre-tested at the factory, and extension cables are colour-coded to differentiate wiring options for power, lighting and other uses. They are also available in different lengths, allowing MT32 to be tailored to meet the needs of any contract.

Because MT32 negates the need to carry out manual wiring on-site, it also addresses the issues of skilled labour shortages and increased labour costs. And, when specified with an underfloor distribution system, MT32 can deliver greater design flexibility than existing powertrack options, allowing a larger floor area to be accommodated from the MT32 distribution unit – Marshall-Tufflex believes it can increase floor area covered by up to three times.

The 32 amp system is compatible with Marshall-Tufflex’s three-compartment trunking system, Odyssey, which has broken the mould of cable management systems by offering an all- curved profile, delivering a futuristic look that is easy to clean. In addition, MT32 is suitable for use with Marshall-Tufflex’s established Sterling trunking.

MT32 really is a dream product, allowing contractors to complete jobs up to 80% faster, with overall cost savings of up to 50% achievable. It’s safe, with all testing done in the factory, virtually impossible to install incorrectly and can be re-configured if the need arises. Almost any wiring system can be adapted to interact with the system, and it requires no tools to connect or terminate cables. 50% costs savings, 80% quicker, 100% satisfaction!
