MAUS Fire Sticks for Data Cabinets and Electrical Cupboards

MAUS Fire Sticks are thermally activated fire suppression devices.

When temperatures rise to a critical level inside a cabinet or enclosure, the unit activates automatically and releases a potassium-based aerosol that interrupts the fire’s chemical reaction, suppresses flames quickly, prevents fire spreading inside the enclosure and protects surrounding equipment.

The clever design of MAUS Fire Sticks gives you an array of benefits in the way they protect your technical environments.

When installed correctly, they fit neatly inside cabinets and other relevant spaces without causing obstruction or getting in the way of airflow; and neither do they have arduous ongoing maintenance requirements. Their automatic activation means that no user action is required, and they will work 24/7 regardless of whether a site is manned or not.

Furthermore, the way they work means they will not significantly contribute to damage of electrical equipment themselves. There is no foam, water or powder contamination, and their minimal residue means that the clean-up is much easier compared to traditional fire extinguishers.

Good installation and maintenance of data and electrical cabinets is an excellent first line of defence against the risk of fire. Maus Fire Sticks provide a second line of defence. There are several triggers that could cause a fire to start, including overloaded circuits, faulty power supplies, failed fans or overheating equipment, short circuits, poor airflow or dust build-up.

By the time smoke is noticed externally, damage is often already done.

A passive suppression device works inside the risk area, controlling the fire early, before it spreads into the wider building.

As specialists in data cabling, networking and infrastructure, we understand all the pertinent information such as cabinet airflow and heat buildup; power distribution risk points; critical equipment protection and how to install without disrupting live systems.

We don’t just supply the device. Crucially we install it correctly as part of your infrastructure protection.

Any organisation with data cabinets or electrical cupboards will be more protected from fire risk by using MAUS Fire Sticks.
