A Multi Cable Transit (MCT) system allows multiple cables or pipes to pass through a single opening or penetration. These systems are commonly used in industrial, marine, and offshore environments where multiple cables must be routed through walls, decks, or bulkheads while maintaining water/fire tightness of compartments or even acoustic isolation.
The installation of Multi Cable Transit systems requires specialized knowledge and equipment. It is vital to ensure the system is installed correctly to prevent water ingress, fire, and other hazards. Some steps involved in the installation process include selecting the appropriate transit system, preparing the opening, installing the system components, and testing the system per the manufacturer’s recommendation.
Besides choosing the appropriate transit system, having specialized knowledge and expertise is critical to ensure the system’s reliability.
