About electrical installation material
Under Electrical installation material you will find everything was needed for the installation of a power supply in building technology. The wide range ranges from switch boxes, mains plugs and connectors to accessories for power cable routing such as cable shafts for covering power lines, mounting rails and various adhesive tapes. There is also weather-resistant installation material for outdoor areas and gardens.

What was electrical installation material?
Electrical installation material includes all accessories for the distribution of electricity in buildings and associated outdoor areas such as gardens. In addition to switch boxes and mains plugs, this includes a comprehensive range of products that are useful for laying cables. For example, distributors, connectors and fixings for cables.
The components for the electrical installation can be divided into two large groups: There are active and passive components. They differ in whether they:
- Actively count among the live parts
- Or passively perform only auxiliary functions, even but not under current.
The accessories are often passive assembly materials. For example, cable ducts are intended only as supporting structures and as additional protection for sheathed cables, in contrast to the cables but no live components
What is electrical installation material used for?
Electrical installation material is used in a wide variety of applications in the distribution of low-voltage power in buildings, individual building parts, apartments and individual rooms. However, electrical installation material is also widely used in commercial real estate and industrial plants.
With the current-carrying components for electrical installation in this category, you can implement the basic distribution in buildings, but only
- Behind the main switch, possible lightning arresters and similar general fuses
- As an intermediate connector only approved for the low-voltage range
- Or before the plug-in connection of electrical devices.
Electrical installation material should only be relocated by contractors in compliance with all applicable regulations.

What electrical installation material is available?
Junction Boxes
Installation boxes are switch boxes. They serve as additional housings for the contact protection of electrical components. There are junction boxes as well as junction boxes. For high demands there are installation boxes for damp rooms and those with high fire protection classes.
Adhesive Tape
Adhesive tapes are useful aids in electrical installation. They create order and can also be used for attachment. In addition to conductive and insulating adhesive tapes with one-sided or double-sided adhesive strength, anti-slip tapes, sealing tapes, masking films and marking tapes can also be found in this sub-category.
Mains Power & Power Cable Connectors
Mains plugs and their counterparts, the mains couplings, are connectors for the power supply of electrical devices. The large selection of simple models is supplemented by earthing contact plugs, angle plugs and between-switches.
Search tip: Flush-mounted sockets can be found here.
Electrical Wiring
The mounting material for the power cable laying includes different versions of cable support systems as well as guide and cover channels for electrical cables. These include baseboard systems as well as cable channels, cable ducts, installation pipes, mounting rails and other passive cable control systems that have nothing to do with the actual electronics.
Connector Clips & Single Wire Connectors
Connectors for cables and wires can connect electrical cables together as well as implement branch distributions. These are usually terminals in which cable wires can be installed with little effort. Common representatives are socket terminals, lamp terminals, luster terminals and Wago terminals. As intermediate pieces such connectors help in the detailed implementation of larger switching environments.
Connector Clip & Single Wire Connector Accessories
There is also a huge range of accessories for connection terminals. Here you will find, among other things, covers, labeling material, fixing adapters, seals, housing, mounting rails and strain reliefs as well as tools for mounting connectors.
Wieland garden electrical installation system
In outdoor areas, it is important to lay electrical cables in a weatherproof way so that moisture cannot penetrate in the rain. The installation system for outdoor areas includes everything was needed for the safe power distribution in outdoor areas, including cables, plugs, sockets, distributors and radio buttons.
Safety information: Before installing electrical components in damp rooms or even outdoors, always check whether the manufacturer explicitly lists the external installation as permitted in the product description. The majority of electrical material is designed for indoor use only, because the components do not provide sufficient short-circuit and touch protection in wet conditions, was a significant safety risk.
Safety information for electrical installation
Always transfer the installation of local electrical equipment to a contractor. Only this has the appropriate expertise and insurance for possible consequential damages, if something goes wrong during the assembly.
The financial damage caused by electrical installation errors quickly amounts to six-digit sums:
- Insurance and warranty claims for all connected electrical components threaten to expire if homeowners or tenants put their own hand on them.
- Improper use of electrical installation material poses the risk of life-threatening accidents caused by electric shock.
