T&D working with T Clarke plc have recommended Roxtec Cable Transits to provide effective fire-stopping to cable penetrations at the Horizon Data Centre.

The Roxtec cable transit system will utilise 16 off Roxtec G4X4 mild steel cable transit frames, 500+ Roxtec RM30 cable modules and 500+ Roxtec RM20W40 cable modules.

Roxtec cable transits consist of a frame, compression unit and cable sealing modules or blocks - the Roxtec cable transit installation procedure involves only a few simple steps:

The Roxtec frame is installed in or onto the construction or partition and cables or pipes routed through the frame.

The Roxtec modules are then adapted to the various cable and pipe diameters and inserted around them inside the frame.

The Roxtec compression unit is inserted and, when tightened, it creates an intrusion proof seal.

Note that some Roxtec frames have an integrated compression unit - an existing Roxtec seal can easily be re-opened at a later time for cable or pipe additions.

Roxtec cable transits protect against fire, vibration, temperature variations, pull tension and shockwaves - Roxtec cable transits also resist water, dust and rodents.
