Each cable and pipe is led through a frame by its own pair of halogen-free module blocks, which are then sealed by use of a compression system.

The unique MCT Brattberg system has been approved by all leading marine and civil authorities as a certified method of sealing cable and pipe penetrations.

MCT Brattberg cable and pipe penetration seals offer external and internal interface protection, or electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection.

The railway industry presents challenges for the protection of cables and pipes.

MCT Brattberg is much more than a fire and explosion barrier.
