5 things to consider when choosing
a multi-cable transit system
There are many types of sealing solutions for cable and pipe penetrations available on the market. Modular-based cable and pipe transits are rightfully popular, but remember that the overall quality level of each system depends on several different factors. It is important to compare seals and ask questions.
Roxtec transits, for example, are not only certified to the highest safety standards. The seals are also halogen-free. It means the material is environmentally friendly and has low smoke toxicity. Another example that counts in a comparison is that Roxtec seals always come with local technical support.
Here are five simple questions that need positive answers before you decide which system to use:
- Is the sealing system halogen-free?
- How much insulation is required to maintain a fire rating?
- What is the maximum cable fill rate to maintain a fire rating?
- Is the system a certified solution for all classes?
- Is there local support?
