Solutions Designed for the Low Voltage Pathway
We are the only manufacturer providing end-to-end fire and smoke sealing solutions that address the ever-changing needs of data and communications infrastructure.
EZ-Path® Fire-rated and Smoke and Acoustical Pathways self-sealing design and unique gang brackets adapt to the needs of the pathway instead of making the pathway adapt to suit them.
EZ-Firestop Grommets are the ideal solution for cables supporting Building Automation Systems, Wireless Access Points, and Access Control systems.
Made for ICT and IT Professionals
With a legacy of over twenty years of innovation, STI is committed to the continued growth and success of the low voltage industry. We offer a complete range of pathway solutions designed to tackle your real-world cable conditions without getting in the way of your day to day. Our EZ-Path® Fire-rated Cable Pathways are considered the industry standard in maintaining Fire, Smoke, and Acoustic Seals in the cable pathway without the burden on on-going inspection and maintenance.
With a range of mounting plate configurations EZ-Path® is the most adaptable cable pathway solution that configures to your pathway needs. Modular grid systems, single device plates, horizontal and vertical ganging plates, as well as solutions for new and existing construction make EZ-Path® the most versatile solution for achieving compliance in the cable pathway, adapting to meet your needs instead of forcing the pathway to adapt to your firestop system.
The EZ-Path® Family of Cable Pathway Solutions
EZ Path® Fire-Rated Pathways are the only self-sealing fire and smoke devices that are exempt from maintenance requirements. EZ Path® Pathways have no moving parts and require no action to activate the internal sealing mechanism, making them the only rated firestop device that are compliant right out of the box.
Watch More VideosEZ Path® Fire Rated Pathways are subject to a third-party, UL® Evaluation Report that provides verification of compliance with the International Building Code®, NFPA 101, “Life Safety Code®,” and the International Fire Code®.
'In addition to EZ Path®, we offer a family of re-enterable firestop products for openings where frequent cable MACs will take place. We coined the term, “High Traffic Openings™” to describe these applications.
Designed to provide unmatched flexibility, EZ Path is tested to ASTM E814, UL® 1479, and CAN/ULC-S115 for 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours in all common constructions. The self-adjusting, self-closing intumescent foam pad system accommodates cable MACs while maintaining fire ratings and L Ratings for particulate air and smoke
'Fire Codes, such as ICC’s International Fire Code® (IFC), mandate that firestop systems must be continuously maintained for the life of the structure. The EZ Path System is designed to vastly reduce maintenance due to it containing no moving parts and requiring no action to activate the internal sealing system. Competitive products do require action to activate the sealing function such as a twist closure or insertion of a foam plug or putty.
Data centers and MAC work go hand-in-hand. EZ Path® is perfectly suited for this environment, particularly where gaseous suppression systems are used. Such systems are designed to dispense the prescribed amount of clean agent, and enclosure integrity is an important consideration. Vent flows, into and out of the enclosure, can be problematic. EZ Path® is the best choice, because it offers predictable performance 100% of the time. With known air leakage values and an automatic sealing system, engineering calculations are always correct.
