A question of strength
Functionality and reliability of enclosed equipment are dependent upon the details. Electrical installations need to be reliable to cope with customer demands. Inefficient cable penetrations are a weak link. Eliminate that risk.
Roxtec entry seals are built to withstand high demands of functional cable entry installations in cabinets and other enclosures. Besides protecting sensitive equipment from hazards like water and dust, Roxtecs sealing system provides unique features. Its design enables future cable additions, area efficiency with many cables and routing of preterminated cables. The system is module based, using adaptable sealThe uniqueness of the multidiameter technology.
ing modules with a frame and a compression unit to seal the cable entry. The uniqueness lies in the multidiameter module. Thanks to the multi layer technique, each module can handle cables of different diameters simply by peeling sheets away from its center. The result is a smart and reliable entry seal that can accommodate a large number of cables with different diameters in one penetration.
How it works
The frame is mounted onto the enclosure, and cables are routed through the frame. The modules are then inserted around the cables inside the frame, creating an intrusionproof seal by compressing the rubber modules after tightening. An existing seal can be opened and reconfigured in the same way it is assembled.
Assemble the frame to the cabinet. Insert the cables through the frame.
Future included
Roxtec facilitates adding or changing cables within an existing seal. Extra capacity can be built into the system during the design phase, saving time and money throughout the entire project. When the time comes to upgrade, just open the frame and route the new cables through the spare modules. This minimizes planning, stock and installation time. Using Roxtec means avoiding additional purchases in the future.
Flexible solutions
The flexibility of Roxtec cable entry seals makes it simple to install several cables of various diameters. With only four module sizes you can seal cables with diameters from 3.5 to 32.5 millimeters (0,138-1,280"). Since the seals are supplied with a center core they can also be used to seal parts of a transit where no cables are inserted.
Area efficiency
Each frame can accommodate a large amount of cables in cramped areas, creating an efficient use of valuable space and at the same time providing a well-organized cable installation. The compact design of the sealing system minimizes the area used for cable penetrations.
Preterminated cables
Roxtec offers the unique capability of routing preterminated cables with their connectors attached during the installation. This saves installation time and ensures the undisturbed function of the system. The guarantee certificate from the cable supplier is valid and you avoid sources of error.
Shielded applications
The Roxtec EMC system is designed for applications where electromagnetic compatibility is of prime importance.
Electromagnetic compatibility, EMC, means that electric and electronic devices can operate together in a common electromagnetic environment, without causing malfunctions in each other. All electric and electronic devices affect the electromagnetic environment, often in a way which is detrimental to other such devices. Currents and voltages inadvertently generated by electric circuits are spread as unwanted currents, or as electromagnetic waves which in turn generate currents in metallic objects. Such electromagnetic garbage is called electromagnetic disturbance, and it may cause malfunctions in other electric or electronic devices. telecommunications and computer systems.
Careful design
For practical purposes, EMC is the measure of two qualities in a device. 1) The level of electromagnetic disturbances generated the less, the better, and 2) The level of immunity the device has to electromagnetic disturbances the higher, the better.
Disturbance
Electromagnetic disturbances may and do cause serious hazards by interfering with life support systems, navigational equipment, signal and security systems, radio, TV, and
Both qualities come at a price, since EMC requires careful design. Real life designs are, of course, a compromise between cost and performance. There will always be some electromagnetic disturbances generated. The fact that most electric and electronic devices are interconnected by cables and wires means that electromagnetic disturbances are spread over large areas.
Shielded cables
In electric and electronic installations, EMC is usually a matter of stopping and neutralizing whatever electromagnetic disturbances there is. This is done by using shielded (screened) cables and by proper grounding.
generate currents in the screen, on the outside of the cable, rather than in the conductors inside the cable. Vice versa, the screen blocks electromagnetic fields generated by the currents inside the cable from reaching outside the cable. The result is that currents, stray currents, will flow in the cable screen. The influence of the stray currents, is neutralized by providing them a path to ground. Ground, or earth, is an engineering term for a general reference point, 0 V, for most electric and electronic devices. The Roxtec EMC system provides such a current path between cable shields and ground. The screen of the cables passing through the same cable inlet are grounded via the Roxtec EMC system modules and frame. Conductive layers inside the modules also stop electromagnetic waves which would
otherwise pass between the cables from one side of the penetration to the other. These layers are also grounded via the frame which surrounds the modules.
Current path
The frame itself is grounded to a designated grounding point via e.g. a ground wire. The grounding point is selected according the demands of each separate installation, after a professional analysis.
Grounding
The cable screen protects the cable conductors from generated electromagnetic disturbances by letting incoming electromagnetic waves
