Large data-center campuses need perimeter protection long before the last building is complete. The Global GRAB SW1250 Post & Cable System helps establish a vehicle-resistant boundary early in a phased development, protecting the campus as construction and operations evolve inside.
For facilities with extensive fence lines, SW1250 adds passive anti-ram protection behind the perimeter fence. It addresses vehicle intrusion as a separate security requirement, complementing the fence’s role in controlling pedestrian access and defining the property boundary.
Reinforce the Fence Line Against Vehicle Intrusion
SW1250 carries an ASTM F2656-23 M50/P1 crash certification for the specified configuration. Its post-and-cable design provides fixed vehicle protection along the boundary without requiring an opening-and-closing mechanism.
- M50/P1 performance: An option for projects specifying this crash classification.
- Existing fence reinforcement: Add a vehicle-resistant layer behind an established chain-link perimeter.
- Weather-resistant finish: Galvanized coating with optional powder coating to coordinate with the site.
- No field welding: Installation does not require on-site welding.
- Bored intermediate foundations: Intermediate post foundations can be bored for installation.

Secure the Boundary Through Every Phase of Development
A campus may take years to build, but its perimeter can be established at the beginning. Passive cable protection is particularly relevant where multiple buildings, service roads and construction areas sit within one large property boundary.
Instead of treating each construction phase as a separate perimeter problem, the site can be planned around a permanent outer barrier. Vehicle entrances can then be protected with separately selected active barriers as access requirements change.
Plan the Fence and Cable Barrier Together
The perimeter fence and SW1250 should be coordinated as separate installations. Allow for the cable barrier behind the fence, including its foundations, termination points and required clearance. At vehicle entrances, a wedge barrier or another suitable active system can complement the passive perimeter protection.
Match the Layout to the Required Performance
Span lengths, foundations, corners and termination details must follow the approved configuration. Confirm the applicable crash certification and engineering documentation for the proposed layout before specifying the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can SW1250 reinforce an existing perimeter fence?
Yes. It can add anti-ram protection behind an existing fence line. The cable system is a separate installation, so its location and foundations should be coordinated with the fence and surrounding site conditions.
How does SW1250 differ from SW1200?
SW1250 carries an M50/P1 classification, while SW1200 is identified as M50/P2. The penetration classification is an important selection factor; use the rating required by the project's security design.
Can it be installed before a data-center campus is fully built?
Yes. Establishing passive perimeter protection early can secure the outer boundary while buildings and internal infrastructure are developed in phases. Construction access points should be addressed separately in the overall security plan.
Does SW1250 replace the vehicle entrance barrier?
No. A fixed cable perimeter and an operating vehicle entrance perform different functions. A separately selected wedge barrier or other active vehicle barrier can protect the access point while SW1250 protects the boundary.
Can SW1250 be relocated like temporary construction fencing?
It should be planned as a fixed installation. Relocation can be costly and depends on the new layout. Some cable may be reusable, but posts and foundations may require replacement.
