Home / The function of fire-fighting baffles on cable trays

When cable trays pass through walls or floors, seal openings using fire-rated penetration sealing materials. This can lead to: Stopping the fire inside the tray is the most effective way to prevent broader system impacts. Clean fire suppression agents are currently employed for the protection of numerous assets, including electronic data processing, telecommunication, and process control facilities. In the power industry, the purpose of implementing fire-blocking sections (fire sections/fire partitions).
