Cable Sealing in Hazardous Areas
Cable Sealing Approved for Ex e and Ex tb
Roxtec Ex cable sealing solutions using cable transit systems prevent ignition of explosive atmospheres in hazardous area locations.

Ex e means increased safety for explosive gas atmospheres, and Ex tb means explosion protection by enclosure for explosive dust atmospheres.
