This system is suitable for separate and protected cable guidance in data centres and central distribution facilities of network operators.

R&M Raceway System is a revolutionary step in Layer 1 solution portfolio. It can be installed in raised floors as well as above the racks. The range focuses on a small number of components, thus simplifying planning and ordering, warehousing and installation.

Essentially, the system consists of main raceways, junctions, curves and exits, all of which ensure up to 40 mm bending radius, a radius that is easy on fibres.

The Raceway System is available in six sizes to accommodate 150 to 6000 jumper or patch cables. 

The modules are made of PC/ABS, plastics that are resistant to breakage and impact. This material is halogen-free and flame retardant, resistant to frost, heat and light and also resistant to electrical shocks.
