the heat load and the customer conditions can be cho-
sen.
The CMC can optionally be used as network-compatible
monitoring system for monitoring the interior.
An early fire detection as well as fire alarm and extin-
guishing system can also be integrated as 482.6 mm
(19") components and offer a high degree of safety.
Various busbars adapted to the power distribution re-
quirements are available.
3.3 Standard system components
3.3.1 Cable duct
Soft duct
The soft duct consists of flexible material that can be in-
stalled around the data and supply lines to be intro-
duced into the Micro Data Center. The cables to be in-
troduced must be distributed separately to the individual
positions. To ensure the guaranteed characteristics
against external danger potentials, no bundled cables
may be introduced into the Micro Data Center.
After introduction of all cables, the complete area of the
cable duct is sealed externally and internally.
The soft duct has the dimension W x H 165 x 267 mm
and may be occupied with cables to the maximum level
of 60%.
The following cables and supply lines may be inserted
through the duct:
– Steel tubes to max. 18 mm diameter
– Cables to max. 15 mm diameter
When steel tubes are inserted, an additional cable duct
protection box must be placed in front of the soft duct.
Cable box
The cable box for the introduction of data and supply ca-
bles consists of a sheet steel enclosure lined on all sides
with alkaline-silicate blocks. In case of fire or tempera-
tures above 100 °C, this material swells and closes the
cable opening.
On the face side, the cable box is closed smoke-tight.
After the introduction of all cables and supply lines, the
cable entrance must be sprayed to become smoke
tight.
The cable box is divided into two areas:
– Dimension area 1: 26 x 214 mm
– Dimension area 2: 44 x 214 mm
To permit the passage of larger connector plugs, the
centre bar can be removed but must be replaced before
being sealed.
The cable box can be occupied 100%.
The cable box may be occupied with cables with maxi-
mum 15 mm diameter. The cable box may be occupied
with 3311.040 water supply and return hoses for the
LCP. No steel tubes may be fed through the cable box.
Hard duct
To guarantee large manipulation assurance in the cable
duct area, a hard duct can be deployed optionally. Each
cable is laid with a filler piece matched to the cable di-
ameter. An end seal ensures the pressing-in of the com-
plete system.
For stabilisation, the duct system is inserted in a con-
struction frame that absorbs the pressure.
The following cables and supply lines may be inserted
through the duct:
– Cables to max. 15 mm diameter
