It's also possible for all switches downstream to fail in detecting continuity and, thus, fail-safe, making it impossible to turn anything off.\r\rAn isolator switch solves this problem by providing a single SPDT or changeover switch that controls two circuits with complete electrical isolation between them, which means that if one fails, the other will operate independently \r\rThe optocoupler keeps the two circuits electrically isolated from each other and allows either circuit to be turned on or off without affecting the other. This prevents dangerous voltage or current from flowing through the failed circuit and ensures a fail-safe operation \r\rIn addition, since there is no direct electrical connection between either input and output of an isolator switch, it can also prevent cross-contamination of hazardous voltages within a system in the event of a failure.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Can you connect multiple switches together?

Cable trunking allows multiple cables to take the same path instead of occupying every available space with individual conduits for each wire.\r\rTrunk lines have been traditionally used by electric utilities for distributing alternating current powering large electrical equipment such as elevators, escalators, electric railways, and industrial machinery. In modern systems, high-bandwidth fibre optic communication uses the technology which replaces copper conductors with glass strands.\r\rCable trunking is typically made from steel or plastic, although some manufacturers also offer flexible semi-rigid tubing. These materials are typically selected for higher mechanical strength compared to standard PVC or another flexible plastic conduit.\r\rCable trunking is usually used in large buildings containing many communication lines, such as office buildings and skyscrapers, but may also be installed in residential homes for networking or distributing television signals throughout a property.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Why is cable trunking used?","text":"Cable trunking is used to protect and run multiple cables through your building so that they can be easily accessed when necessary.

Cable trunking tends to be less expensive than wire conduit because it requires no support from wall studs, though installation costs for both may vary by the cost of a professional, such as an electrician, and the number of cables being installed.\r\rCable trunking can also be helpful if you need coaxial cable TV signals brought into every room without installing a cable tray or other support system.\r\rCable trunking is composed of either metal or plastic and cut to the lengths needed for a specific project. Flexible materials make it easy to pull cables through but may be more difficult to secure in place unless you use straps with cable trunks that are made from a flexible material. \r\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What are the benefits of cable trunking?","text":"There are many benefits accruing to trunking. Cable trunking enables the consolidation of many wires into one single container, the trunk. Having individual wires together in a single trunk will protect cables from damage caused by vermins or rodents. \r\rCable ducting makes the work neat, look organised, and tidy. Cable ducting protects wiring installed in external spaces or walls from accumulating dust.\r\rTrunking increases safety, especially in walked areas. Possible tripping hazards emanating from naked or exposed wires are eliminated. Electrical cables should never come into contact with water. Trunking further reduces such chances of cables being exposed to water.\r\rThe benefits of trunking at home or the workplace go beyond health and safety reasons.
