Apr 16, 2008 – Mumbai (India) based APW President Systems has introduced an innovative cable management facility, continuing a long tradition of innovation.
Raised floors are an option for installations that include a large number of cables in today’s IT, Networking and Data Centers. They are more efficient and less costly than overhead systems, where hot air rises. Instead of running cables through the ceiling, contractors can easily pull them under the raised flooring.
“In this context, the innovative pre-slotted brushed tile system from APW President addresses several problem areas of installation, including the damage likely due to bending of cables and cold air leakages from tile slots. It is designed to offer valuable benefits to our Data Center customers,” said S. Venkatraman, Associate Vice-President, Sales & Services, APW President.
The pre-slotted brushed tile is a CRCA (Cold Rolled Cold Annealed) fabricated tile, with 4 slots of 70 x 440mm long. These fabricated tiles are designed, similar to the conventional 600 x 600mm tile in a data Center. The slots on the brushed tile are provided with smooth beading on the edges, thus preventing any possible damage to the data cable while bending it through. The cutout profiles on the brushed tiles are covered with nylon bristle brush panels. These brush panels, while allowing data cables to pass through snugly, can spring back and interlock when there are no cables, actively sealing the slot and preventing leakage of under floor cold air through the cutout.
