Any time a fire protection feature is incorporated into a building, it must be continually maintained to ensure compliance with the International Fire Code and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. And when it comes to structured cabling, the constant moves, adds, and changes can wreak havoc on smoke and gas barrier integrity should a fire occur, requiring significant time and resources for remediation and maintenance.

NET100 implements EZ Path Fire-Related Pathways from STI because it offers our clients many advantages for their cable management solutions:- 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 is compliant right out of the box.
- They are the only self-sealing fire and smoke devices that are exempt from maintenance requirements.
- They pay for themselves over and over again by eliminating the need for downstream maintenance.
- They also allow cables to be pulled through multiple barriers at once, reducing unnecessary trips above the drop ceiling.
- There’s never a need to unscrew or remove sealant. Cables can be added or removed remotely.
- EZPath’s modular gang configuration uses less space, which allows for increased cable capacity within a smaller footprint. This configuration keeps your cables organized and always compliant.
- They are fully fire and smoke compliant with IBC, IFC & NFPA 101 standards. Once installed, they provide a totally sustainable, fully compliant cable management solution for the lifecycle of your building.
The EZ Path has been independently confirmed to comply with all referenced firestopping requirements in the IBC, IFC, and LSC. Additionally, it fully complies with applicable code requirements relating to smoke leakage. Finally, EZ Path’s maintenance-free nature has also been independently confirmed.
Don’t let the spread of harmful smoke and gas risk the safety of your people and expose your business to potential liability. Contact NET100 today at (703) 995-5200 or via email at info@net100ltd.com.
