Cable and pipe penetration seals for SCIFs and shielded facilities

Roxtec sealing solutions provide high shielding effectiveness. The mechanical seals with conductive rubber will integrate with the existing Faraday cage.

Reducing the need for openings  

By using our space efficient multi-cable and pipe seals, you can minimize the number of penetrations and make sure the few ones you still need are fully controlled, easily visually inspected and thoroughly documented. Roxtec seals comply with classified facility guidance and security standards, aligning with TEMPEST shielding requirements, ATEX, national security facility standards and fire and life safety codes.  

Ensuring the integrity of the secure boundary

A SCIF is a certified secure space designed so that classified information can be handled without any risk of physical, electronic, or acoustic leakage. As people plan military operations, analyze intelligence, and handle data systems, even conversations inside can be classified. The SCIF must therefore have a defined secure boundary. That is why walls, floors and ceilings are important, and especially doors, windows and cable and pipe penetrations that risk the integrity of the boundary. Your SCIF is only secure if the boundary is secure.

Reliable seals customized for protection

When you use Roxtec transits, you know that all cables and pipes are routed through approved penetrations that eliminate also the tiniest gaps around cables and pipes and prevent fire and smoke from breaching the boundary. If you have very specific needs, we can assist you with customized sealing solutions. We can provide tailor-made seals for RF shielding as well as ammunition magazine seals and explosive storage penetration seals for sympathetic detonation protection. 

Application areas for Roxtec penetration seals in SCIFs

Roxtec seals help you secure facility cable management and simplify hazardous area cable sealing.   

• External entry points for power cables, fiber and copper data cables, bonding and grounding conductors, HVAC pipes or ducts, and chilled water lines
• Duct and pipe entries for HVAC, environmental and pressurization systems 
• Power and grounding cable routes through walls, floors and shielded equipment
• Cable and pipe entries through boundaries to internal SCIF zoning, including rooms for equipment, analysis, communications, and storage
• Penetrations on raised floors and suspended ceilings
• Entries for new cables for modular expansion with new systems and equipment

Roxtec seals are Ex rated and have shielding performance, and are perfect for: 

• Tactical operations centers (TOCs)
• Secure communications rooms
• Signals intelligence (SIGINT) facilities
• Faraday-shielded rooms
• Anechoic chambers
• Embassy secure rooms

Supporting smooth modularity and scalability

An appreciated future-proof feature is the support for modularity and evolution. You can open our seals and use their built-in spare capacity to add cables for new equipment without any need for extra materials, or for destroying the wall or for recertifying the entire room. Offering the possibility to make changes without loss of integrity.

Are Roxtec seals certified for military applications?

Roxtec cable and pipe seals provide certified protection against multiple risks in line with strict military standards. Therefore, our seals are frequently used to increase safety in bunkers and bomb shelters and in defense test facilities and test ranges, as well as in ammunition depots, missile storage facilities, and warhead storage facilities.
