Crabtree acts on Instinct

23-01-2017

Crabtree, the UK-based wiring accessories company, has launched a major new product range called Instinct, containing over 300 products including sockets, fuse connection units and data outlets.  

Named for its intuitive design and clever new features, the Instinct range includes full-contact cable clamps which improve cable retention and reduce deformation, and integrated LED indicators built into the rocker switch, which retains plate strength and improves aesthetics. 

“Instinct is the product of two years and thousands of hours of development and engineering – it’s been something of an obsession for us,” said Jim Hutchison, National Sales Manager at Crabtree. “The accessories offer big benefits to specifiers, designers and installers, and we are already seeing a lot of interest from across the commercial building sector.” 

Other new features include upward-facing inline terminals, an easy to use connection layout that improves installation times because there is no need to rotate or twist the accessory – making for a more reliable connection method. 

Additionally, the Instinct socket outlets conform to the highest British safety standards and more, because they contain multipin safety shutters which prevent access to the power supply unless using a BS1363 plug top. 

“The range boasts slimline plates with soft curves, smooth lines and contoured profiles – details that look great and fit naturally into any environment,” continued Hutchison. “We’re extremely proud of the innovations at work within the range, both aesthetically and functionally – it’s a testament to the passion and expertise of our people.”
