Enhanced Secure Raceway for Protected Distribution Systems

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (December 15, 2008) – Data-Fense™ Secure Raceway from Wiremold/Legrand is a large-capacity perimeter raceway system that provides a high level of modularity and scalability in hardened carrier protected distribution systems (PDS). This all-steel system incorporates a patent-pending structurally interlocking base and cover, as well as secure boxes, fittings, and transition channels to defend against physical intrusion. Data-Fense Secure Raceway is an aesthetically pleasing alternative to bare conduit in military, government, research, and financial services applications.

Data-Fense Secure Raceway is designed to address NSTISSI 7003 requirements. It increases protection against overt, covert, and surreptitious attacks through a structurally locking base and cover design and the permanent connection of all base components and fittings. Access to the PDS system is possible only through pull-boxes that are secured by approved padlocks. The design enhances visual detection of any attempts to penetrate the raceway.

Data-Fense Secure Raceway is available in 4-3/4" x 1-3/4" two-piece raceway, as well as 1" x 1" and 2" x 2" one-piece channels. Transition fittings enable all three sizes to be combined in the same system for additional modularity and scalability. Many PDS raceway systems require the application of epoxy after covers have been installed, which causes the system to lose modularity and scalability. Wiremold/Legrand provides an innovative design with enhanced mechanical security features that reduce the need for wide-scale application of epoxy after installation.
