MERKUR2 cable ducts are structurally exceptional and
at the same time technically unmistakable thanks to:
•
A double cross member, which in the overall structure
increases the rigidity and strength of the duct not only
during the operation of the already completed cable
route, but also during logistics and installation. The dou-
ble crossmember also improves the distribution of the
weight of the installed cabling into the duct structure.
•
The shaped top edge, which again in combination with
the double cross member contributes to increasing
the rigidity and strength of the duct, especially thanks
to its shaping and the two-point weld connection to
each double cross member of the duct.
The combination of these design elements contributes
to the protection of peoplewho handleMERKUR 2 ducts
not only on the construction site, but also in ware-
houses and during the actual installation of cabling in
the ducts. The overall round design of the cable duct
ensures safe cablingwithout damaging the insulation.
These properties are especially applied in extreme sit-
uations, which can be fires, earthquakes, large-scale
accidents and similar events with fatal consequences.
In all these situations, the cable ducts of the MERKUR2
system provide a firm and stable support for the cable
distributions and enable their reliable functionality.
Unique double cross member
The double design of the cross member ensures the
overall robustness of the duct construction and signif-
icantly contributes to the high load-bearing capacity
of the ducts. This element also contributes to excellent
properties in extreme situations such as fire. At the
same time, this design of the cross member allows the
duct segments to be firmly connected by all fittings of
the MERKUR2 system.
Shaped upper edge of the duct
The generally round design of wire mesh tray edges
eliminates the risk of damage to the cables during
their installation and at the same time contributes to
convenience and safety during all phases of the wire
mesh cable tray installation.
Stringers
They ensure the transmission of forces along the duct
and thus contribute to their load-bearing capacity. The
number and diameter of the stringers defines the longi-
tudinal load bearing capacity of the ducts and enables
the support points to reach a span of up to 2.0 m for
the standard M2 type.
The portfolio of MERKUR2 cable ducts includes the basic
type of M2 and M2-G ducts.
MERKUR 2 cable duct, type M2
The standard design of MERKUR2 cable ducts has long
been the best-selling wire duct in the Czech Republic.
Thanks to its unmistakable and proven construction,
which mainly features a double cross member in con-
junction with a shaped top edge, it has become very
popular with electrical installation companies and has
become a sought-after product for both normal and
functional routes.
MERKUR 2 cable duct, type M2-G
This type of “G” shaped duct is an interesting and effec-
tive design solution for simplified ceiling installations of
cable routes. Only the standard DZM 12 holder is needed
to install the cable route in the suspended ceiling. Thanks
to the “G” profile of the duct construction, the cabling
can be conveniently, freely and safely inserted into the
finished route without the need to stretch it, for exam-
ple, between threaded rods. This further simplifies the
installation of the cable route of this design.

Portfolio of MERKUR2 system ducts
All versions of the MERKUR2 system ducts use
a common system of accessory elements. This
means that they are fully combinable and can
be installed next to each other in the same cable
distribution system, or can form connected parts
of the same route.
