Electri-Flex Company manufactures flexible electrical conduits designed for Data Center installations. Liquatite® provides high-quality Data Center wiring protection solutions that offer physical protection to wires and cables, conduit colors that identify critical circuitry, UL-listed and CSA-certified varieties, halogen-free, and low-fire hazard solution types.

Data Center wiring solutions can help with safety and circuitry identification, as well as provide long-lasting quality products. Materials that address safety concerns continue to increase in use and flexible conduit types that address these concerns are those with a polyurethane jacketing. This jacketing type is halogen-free and reduces the risk of toxic smoke and fire spread in the event of these emergencies. They are a low-fire hazard solution with self-extinguishing characteristics and provide increased safety to any enclosed space. Another solution includes colored conduits that are used to help identify wiring. Common colors used in data centers include gray, computer blue, green, red, orange, yellow, and many more.

Type CBLA is the most commonly used type of jacketed flexible conduit. It is easily identifiable with its computer blue jacketing color, is both UL-listed and CSA-certified, made with a hot-dipped galvanized steel core, and has a flexible PVC jacketing.

Type LA is also UL-listed and CSA-certified and comes in a variety of colors, such as gray, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and many more. It is also made with a hot-dipped galvanized steel core and PVC jacketing.

Type ZHLA is a Zero-Halogen low-fire hazard solution and ideally suited for enclosed installations. The core is made of hot-dipped galvanized steel but the jacketing is a flexible, zero-halogen polyurethane. It omits low amounts of non-toxic smoke, has a low flame spread, and is self-extinguishing. It also comes in other jacketing colors, such as red, often used in data center applications.
