The heart of modern buildings, industrial facilities, and even smart homes is a safe and organized electrical infrastructure. This infrastructure not only provides electrical power but also directly impacts life and property safety, uninterrupted system operation, and longevity. Disorganized cables, inadequate protection systems, or low-quality connection components may seem like minor issues in the short term, but they carry risks that can lead to major disasters over time.
In this crucial field, the global leader OBO Bettermann offers end-to-end, complete, and reliable solutions for your projects under the motto “From Cable Tray to Surge Protection.” In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the solutions offered, product categories, and why you should choose this brand for your projects.

Why Is a Safe Infrastructure So Important?
The electrical infrastructure is the invisible hero of a building. All the electronic devices, lighting, heating/cooling systems, and security equipment we use in daily life depend on the integrity of this infrastructure. A possible short circuit, lightning strike, or overvoltage can not only damage your equipment but also trigger dangerous situations such as fires. Therefore, using quality materials and implementing proper protective systems is crucial to minimize risks. The solutions offered are designed to eliminate these risks. The brand’s wide product range provides reliable and sustainable solutions for all types of projects.
OBO Bettermann’s Solution-Oriented Main Product Groups
OBO Bettermann manufactures products specifically designed for every stage of electrical installation, which are integrated and compliant with international standards. These products offer not only functionality but also easy installation and durability.
1. Cable Management and Routing Systems
The first requirement for a project to be organized and safe is proper cable management. OBO Bettermann solutions in this field range from cable trays to underfloor channels.
- Cable Trays: Adjustable in width and height, made from materials like hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel, OBO Bettermann cable trays form the backbone of cable installations.
- Wire Mesh Cable Trays: Lightweight and flexible, ideal for suspended ceiling applications. They allow cables to breathe and enable quick installation.
- Busbar Power Distribution Systems: A modern and safe alternative for industrial facilities requiring high current, OBO Bettermann busbar systems provide flexible and modular power distribution.
2. Lightning Protection and Surge Protection Systems
Natural disasters and grid fluctuations are among the greatest threats to your electrical installation. Comprehensive protective solutions guard against these hazards.
- Lightning Capture Systems: Lightning rods and capture points protect a building directly against lightning strikes.
- Surge Protection Devices (SPD): Detect sudden voltage surges in the network, preventing damage to sensitive electronic devices (computers, servers, automation systems). OBO Bettermann SPDs are available in both Type 1 and Type 2 protection levels.
- Grounding Solutions: All OBO Bettermann grounding products, including grounding rods, connection clamps, and measurement points, enable you to establish a complete grounding system.
3. Passive Fire Protection Systems
In the event of a fire, preventing flames and smoke from spreading through cable passage points is critical. OBO Bettermann provides leading solutions in this area as well.
- Fire Protection Blocks: Fire-stopping blocks used at wall or floor penetrations for cables and pipes prevent the spread of flames and smoke.
- Fire-Resistant Cable Trays: Ensure cables remain functional even during a fire, securing the operation of emergency lighting and alarm systems.
4. Connection and Installation Systems
The reliability of an electrical installation begins with the quality of the smallest connection component. OBO Bettermann provides dependable solutions in this area.
- Junction Boxes: Produced in various protection levels (IP65, IP67, etc.), these boxes protect cable joints from moisture, dust, and impact.
- Clamps and Connectors: Provide high-strength clamps and connectors to secure cables and pipes properly.
