RAL 7046

Telegrey 2

RAL 7046 Telegrey 2 is a slightly darker variant of the telecommunications grey family, providing a more subdued alternative to Telegrey 1 for network infrastructure, data centers, and modern technical facilities. This professional shade reduces glare from overhead lighting in equipment rooms while maintaining sufficient brightness for component identification. Telegrey 2 is commonly specified for cable management systems, network racks, and telecommunications cabinets across European service providers.
