Seismic Protection Systems

CPI offers a variety of seismic products for two- and four-post rack systems. Seismic Protection Systems from CPI are required and used in many parts of the world to reduce the risk of equipment damage from seismic events. Earthquake design criteria specifies that equipment must remain operational when subject to earthquakes even though some small amount of repairable secondary physical damage may occur. Excessive motion that may cause undue strain on cable or conduit interconnection is not permissible in this environment.
