Spareblock

The Spare blocks are manufactured from Lycron. The unused space in the frame is filled with solid spare blocks. Using the spare blocks allows the option of fitting new cable in the future. Standard Spare blocks are divided up in seven sizes, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 60 mm in square.

Overview

Surplus room in each frame is filled out with solid insert blocks. Called spares, they bear the designation A/0. Blocks are referred to by their width (A), followed by the designation /0 (indicating solid). Thus a block with a width and height of 15 mm (0.59”) is referred to as 15/0. The length of insert blocks is always 60 mm (2.36”)
