The SB provides connectivity via a length of Modular Fly Cord lighting ( 3-Cores 1.5 mm 2 PVC / Copper Wire ) connected to the CDB or the LB .
Modular Fly Cord
Modular Splitter ( T ) with Dropper ( ST-LD ) The Splitter T Light ( S-LD ) is for the subcircuit tapping-off connections . It provides a branch connection from the sub-circuit to the luminaire .
This SB-LD provides connectivity via a length of lighting wire dropper ( 3-Cores 1.5 mm 2 PVC / Copper Wire ) connected to the luminaire .
Modular Luminaire Box ( LB ) This Luminaire Box ( LB ) is for the luminaire subcircuit connections . It provides the sub-circuit connection to the luminaire using plug and play modular components . The LB is installed and assembled to the luminaire at the factory .
This LB provides connectivity via a length of Modular Fly Cord lighting ( 3-Cores 1.5mm 2 PVC / Copper Wire ) connected to the CDB or the LB .
This Fly Cord ( FC ) is the lighting and power subcircuit wire connector for the modular wiring system . It provides interlink connections for the TB , CDB , SB , ST-LD and LB using plug and play modular components .
This FC is custom fabricated into a designated length of between 1.5m to 15m using 3-Cores 1.5 or 2.5 mm 2 PVC / Copper wire and jacket with fireretardant ( FR ) flexible conduit with rated 3-pole polarised male / female plug and socket at both ends .
Conclusion
It takes the disastrous COVID-19 pandemic to change the business world , the way people live and work , and the emergence of new technologies connecting people . It has completely altered the landscape of industries and ushered in a New Normal . Construction industries in Malaysia must welcome the changes , embrace new technologies and move forward .
For the Construction Industry to make the bold move forward , it needs recognition and a leading push from the custodians of the Malaysia Regulatory Authorities , mainly The Jabatan Kerja Raya ( JKR ) and the Construction Industry Development Board ( CIDB ), to step up and take the lead in embracing new technologies , such as the Modular Wiring System .
Once the authorities encourage the use of this new technology , market forces will drive industry with advanced technologies to reduce the dependence on unsecured cheap foreign labour , improve construction time , increase construction efficiency , saving both direct and indirect costs .
