Secure your containerized data center equipment with Roxtec seals

Simplify the use of modular enclosures while ensuring multi-hazard protection.

Why are Roxtec modular-based cable and pipe transits ideal for prefabricated modular enclosures? Watch the video below showing several important applications and consider the following five reasons for integrating Roxtec sealing solutions into your design of containers for power generators and other external auxiliary equipment.

Modular Data Centers

1. Modularity and built-in spare capacity. Design once – adapt on site.

Roxtec adaptable and openable seals help enabling standardization, modularization, and industrialization – from factory to field. When you scale up, you need seals that can be integrated into prefabricated modules and containerized systems. With Roxtec seals, you can ensure tightness already during transport to protect the enclosed equipment. You can benefit from a stepwise installation procedure that can be adapted to when cables and pipes are routed and when protection is needed. You can thereby prepare also for future needs. The seals allow you to standardize interfaces across projects and geographies to save time, secure compliance, and accelerate deployment.

  • Adaptable to cables and pipes of different sizes
  • Openable – ensuring tightness until integration
  • Made to enable scaling and global expansion

2. Fast and correct installation.

Roxtec penetration seals are easy to install, and by using them consistently you enable installation teams to conduct correct and reliable installations. The installation work can be done rapidly and efficiently in remote or challenging locations, and so can any last-minute changes due to design modifications. The seals support plug-and-play installations and are always ready for further expansion. The fastening technology of the seals is optimized to avoid damage to the structure.

  • Streamlining logistics
  • Plug-and-play installations
  • Sealing without structural damage

3. Minimize overall weight and gain useful space.

Roxtec sealing solutions are developed to save weight and space, which is particularly welcome within the modular offsite construction industry since the room for routing of cables and pipes is often very limited. Using innovative high cable density sealing solutions from Roxtec, you can seal multiple cables and pipes in a single opening instead of punching or drilling dozens of holes for traditional cable glands, and you can also plan for spare capacity for sudden additions or upgrades.

  • Multi-cable and pipe transits
  • Reducing the need for several openings in the structure
  • Built-in capacity for expansion

4. Certified multi-hazard protection. Prevent fire, gas, water, and EMI.

Roxtec cable and pipe seals provide protection against multiple hazards, including fire, smoke, gas, water and dust ingress, rodents and EMI, electromagnetic interference. They are tested and certified for use in steel structures as well as in insulated sandwich panels and to comply with global and local safety standards. Fire protection is ensured from both sides of the structure, making sure flames neither enter modules nor spread between vital containers. Roxtec even offers seals that can ensure fire protection without any need for insulation – for maximum cleanliness.    

  • Fire rating EI60
  • IP rating 55-66
  • Regulatory compliance

5. Electrical equipment security. Seal and shield external containers to avoid downtime.

Roxtec cable and pipe seals can do more than stop a fire from spreading and prevent pests and flooding. The seals provide efficient physical protection and electromagnetic shielding and can be used in internal walls to make sure there are no disturbances between possible partitions inside the container. There is also a solution available to stop any unauthorized opening of the transit as well as any tampering with the installation which could open pathways in the wall structure.
