Engineering High-performance Optical Fiber Cable Raceways
The surge in AI, cloud computing, and high-speed connectivity is transforming how data centers and commercial buildings are designed. As fiber networks grow denser and more complex, every component is under greater scrutiny – including the raceways that protect the cables powering today’s digital infrastructure.
For engineers and specifiers, the challenge is clear: select a material that delivers proven fire performance, mechanical durability, and manufacturing flexibility without compromising cost or productivity.
NexPoint’s flame-retardant LEXAN™ resin portfolio – including LEXAN 955, 915R, and related grades – is engineered to meet those demands. Designed for both extruded and injection-molded optical fiber cable raceways, these materials help manufacturers achieve consistent processing while delivering the performance critical infrastructure requires.
When safety matters, material performance is critical. NexPoint FR LEXAN resins are engineered to provide outstanding fire retardancy and reduced smoke generation compared with many incumbent materials, supporting performance under ASTM E-662 smoke density protocols. At the same time, they deliver an excellent balance of stiffness, strength, and impact resistance, helping raceways withstand installation, protect sensitive fiber, and perform reliably throughout their service life.
Performance in the field starts with consistency in production. That’s why NexPoint materials are designed for dependable processing across both extrusion and injection molding, giving manufacturers greater freedom to optimize part design, production efficiency, and product quality.
As digital infrastructure continues to expand, engineers need more than materials that meet specifications. They need materials that inspire confidence. Backed by decades of engineering thermoplastics expertise, responsive technical support, and reliable regional supply, NexPoint helps customers specify resin solutions that performance from the production floor to the field.
