Anybody saw this at the latest Homedec? Prices seems much lower than Eubiq system.
Maybe not as nice looking but acceptable.

Electrical wise a bit different as well, Mainline has an Earth contact point.

eubic adapter slightly handsome than this, but the track price is much cheaper...will look for this option...

Ya Eubiq looks better but very expensive
Khind claims 40% cheaper but I have not done any maths on it yet

Eubiq have earth too. Mainline need more work for installation.

weikee In what way is Eubiq easier to install?

I don't have to cutout the size for eubiq. And why need do the entire area? unless is office. Even for Office running all in one fused 32Amps is stupid design.

My company was using such system. After 2 years they ditch it.

The Mainline need to cut a hole thru plastic but Eubiq one (for their SH1 track) needs to cut thru aluminum
If you use the terminal block, there is no need to even drill a hole for the wires

Why is 32a stupid?

And trip, and everything down, you want everything down in one fuse trip?

eubic power track = rm440/meter (last year price)
mainline power track = rm332/meter (homereno price)

for the normal adapter eubic cheaper by rm5/pcs

Then eubiq must be more stupid with a 40amp rating..?

if im not read it wrong, mainline also got different type for standard length...unless need custom length need to cut ...

it can support up to 32 A, but there should be no problem if want to use multiple breaker/fuses in one room..

To open a 32A cicuit, you need to have short circuit or direct wire tap with current of >50A.

Maybe I confused you. From the video you posted, it run entire room / area with one 32Amps right? What if you have two working cubical, if the MCB trip, all the two cubical will power trip. Is better to have separate the mcb. Like in actual working office, we have one MCB for one island of workstation.


For their standard short track, is ok to have higher rated track because one may use for boiling water, another for iron (assuming the underlining wires are 6mm)

Multiple, mean multiple set right?

From my experience visiting some of my clients office who uses eubiq, they usually use it in the meeting table. When we are in the meeting My client add the adapter depend the number of users need it, and after meeting they will keep the adapter and that way the meeting room look neat. But few occasion we ran out of adapters

one breaker for one set of power track..

because the adapter too expensive ...there is no special mechanism or electronic control on the normal adapter ...thats why it hold me to purchase this kind of system... will wait the price to drop more

Yup you confused me
The video shows you what you can do, it doesn't mean you have to run it all over the room like that and/or to one MCB point.

Basically there is not much difference between the two system. One with more options, nicer looking but more expensive.


You know what concerns me is will the track be big enough to cover the existing wall plugs hole?

These things are lifestyle product, not sure it will reduce price significant just like iphone. Eubiq been around for many years I saw eubiq in Ace hardware many donkey years, and price still the same as now. Is a good for nice and neat looking finishing outlook. I got the 600mm track, two power adapters on it. Now I use it for charging my phone and power bank only

I think it's good for certain areas like entertainment centre where you got your tv, astro, players, amps etc

Also study area with your pc, printer, etc all plugged in.

Problem is I cannot find a good extension power strip and with individual on/ off switches. Even my Belkin also sot sot tei already....very dangerous to use in the long run. They are not reliable at all

the conceal power track together with this adapter



would be best to show off at the living room
