BAND-IT: The Preferred Solution for Data Center Cable Management

November 27.2024

Current Solutions: Traditional Cable Cleats and Cable Ties

Ensuring power is properly routed throughout a data center is one of the most important aspects of an installation project, but often the details are left for last. Installers often find themselves using an assortment of rubber channels, brackets, fixings, and ties which quickly add up to be an expensive and time-consuming element of the project. These solutions are often;

• High-Cost Materials
• High Profile
• Heavy
• Require Additional Fixings
• Have Minimal Diameter Adjustment
• A Time Consuming Installation
• Difficult to manipulate and pull cables
• Require Cushion Sleeves

When selecting a fastening solution for routing large amounts of power in data centers, design firms and contractors need to consider the environment they’re building for. Solutions need to be capable of withstanding potential hazards such as short circuit forces, preferably with IEC-standard short circuit testing, and they should also use Low Smoke Zero Halogen materials to prevent against toxic fumes in case of fires. Reducing material bulk wherever possible will reduce costs and complexity, ensuring smoother installation and faster project completion.

BAND-IT has just the product to meet all these specifications while making installation easy, efficient, and cost effective.
