Data centers and server halls house critical communication infrastructure and must withstand both fire and water. Still, extreme weather events and flooding cause outages worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Select purpose-built sealing solutions – and save your cloud from drowning.
Roxtec safety seals for cable and pipe penetrations secure cutting-edge data centers and server halls worldwide against fire, water ingress and air leakage. Downtime is costly and no option when continuous service is required for critical functions throughout the society.
Harden your data center
We offer a long-term partnership to harden your data centers and server halls against multiple risks. By providing smart and certified sealing solutions, we help you ensure safety and efficiency during the construction phase and throughout the lifecycle of your facility. The seals are easy to design in and install – and they cover all sealing needs and requirements. That is why so many designers, construction companies and operators of data centers standardize with the Roxtec sealing system.
We use Roxtec seals wherever we need first class protection.
Application areas
Explore the multitude of applications where you can benefit from our solutions.
Exterior penetrations
Power and fiber cable entries into the exterior building envelope are common applications for purpose-designed seals. Without properly engineered solutions, these entries become an ingress point for water, resulting is a risk of damaging equipment or increasing humidity levels. In addition to sealing against water, these applications often need to meet fire requirements to reinstate the fire integrity of the structure. Roxtec seals meet these requirements while allowing future cable changes.
Why use Roxtec?
- Watertight
- Cable retention
- Vermin barrier
Superior simplicty
- Long-term durability and protection
- Built-in spare capacity for future cables
- Customized solutions for specific requirements
Underground power and fiber pits/vaults
Underground power distribution and fiber networks in data centers must be protected against the constant threat of water. Every cable pit/vault or hand box represents a possible leak path and is a risk for the entire infrastructure. Our seals for underground use are ideal for sealing around power cables in duct banks, vaults and hand boxes.
Why use Roxtec?
- Watertight
- Cable retention
- Vermin barrier
Superior simplicity
- Installation in wet conditions and running water
- Built-in spare capacity for upgrades
- Customized solutions for specific requirements
Power distribution
Securing power supply and power distribution in data centers is critical for maintaining uptime. Seal cable bus and conduits, switchgear, generators and transformers to avoid equipment failure due to water ingress. In critical areas, Roxtec seals can also be used to prevent fire.
Why use Roxtec?
- Watertight
- Firestop
- Airtight
Superior simplicity
- Easy and safe installation
- Flexibility for cables of different sizes
- Built-in spare capacity for future cables
Rooftops
When HVAC, ventilation and air conditioning, equipment is located on rooftops, it can be a challenge to protect penetrations. Use the smart Roxtec Swan Neck seals to maintain water-tightness and prevent water infiltration, or install our Roxtec GH transits to ensure water-tightness in horizontal installations.
Why use Roxtec?
- Watertight
- Firestop
- Pest and rodent barrier
Superior simplicity
- Easy and safe installation
- Flexible for cables in different sizes
- Built-in spare capacity for future cables
Mechanical piping
HVAC piping and ductwork penetrations must be protected against multiple hazards. Depending on location, these penetrations need to be watertight, airtight and protected against fire. Roxtec seals can secure HVAC service entries against all of these hazards. Roxtec can also provide seals for large diameter openings, which can be challenging to seal using other methods.
Why use Roxtec?
- Airtight
- Firestop
- Watertight
Superior simplicity
- Easy and safe installation
- Customized solutions for specific requirements
Data hall
Increase existing cooling capacity and improve efficiency by sealing under raised floors or inside data halls with Roxtec seals. Our solutions provide air-tightness to reduce bypass airflow and increase cooling efficiency. According to airflow analysis, energy consumption is lower and power user efficiency better. Roxtec seals also provide an extra security measure by preventing easy pass-through of digital media between secure areas.
Why use Roxtec?
- Physical security
- Firestop
- Airtight (energy efficiency)
- Dust-tight
Superior simplicity
- Easy and safe installation
- Optimized air management and reduced energy cost
- Available in kits
