FRP molding offers non-conductive, corrosion-resistant cable management systems with safer, durable, and low-maintenance non-metallic enclosures.
Data centers are driving the need for more effective cable management at scale. With miles of cabling routed through rooftops, risers, and sensitive spaces, the choice of materials directly impacts safety and reliability. Traditional options like steel, aluminum, and PVC carry risks - corrosion, electrical conductivity, or weakness under harsh conditions - that can lead to costly failures. FRP molding offers a non-conductive, corrosion-resistant alternative that ensures safer, longer-lasting cable pathways in these demanding environments.
OSHA standards reinforce the need for durable, non-conductive materials in environments where reliability cannot be compromised.
FRP molding refers to fiberglass-reinforced plastic formed into custom shapes for cable routing and protection. Its applications include brackets, raceways, riser enclosures, and equipment stands, particularly valuable in rooftop and riser settings.
Benefits include:
For data centers, FRP molding safely supports dense cable runs while reducing long-term maintenance costs.
This unique combination makes FRP molding the ideal choice for cable management systems in mission-critical environments such as data centers.
FRP combines strength, safety, and adaptability in ways traditional materials cannot. Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it easier to handle and install, while corrosion and UV resistance ensure consistent performance in demanding environments. Non-conductive properties add another layer of protection, isolating cables and workers from electrical and thermal hazards.
Beyond safety, FRP offers practical advantages that drive long-term value. Slip and impact resistance reduce day-to-day risks, and a long service life with minimal maintenance lowers lifecycle costs. Together, these qualities position FRP as a forward-thinking solution for managing dense cabling in mission-critical facilities.
OSHA requires that electrical cabling be routed safely with durable, non-conductive enclosures. FRP molded components support compliance with OSHA 1910.30 and offers non-conductive and non-metallic enclosures.
Advantages for data centers include:
By integrating FRP into cable management systems, operators can reduce risks while ensuring that installations remain code-compliant and reliable.
FRP molding provides a safe, corrosion-resistant, and adaptable solution for cable management. It supports the operational reliability and safety demanded in data centers and other high-performance environments.
