Elastikon Tape is a highly flexible, elastic cloth tape with rubber-based adhesive, designed for dynamic support in medical and IT environments. It offers breathable, strong adhesion for injuries or equipment stabilization, featuring a red center line for precise application. WECENT recommends it for secure cable management, GPU protection, and server rack organization in enterprise IT deployments.
What Is Elastikon Tape Used For?
Elastikon Tape provides reliable support for fractures, muscle strains, and joint injuries, maintaining flexibility in challenging areas like knees and elbows.
In IT environments, it secures cables, organizes server racks, and stabilizes high-performance NVIDIA GPUs, including RTX 4090 and A100 models supplied by WECENT. Its porous backing prevents overheating, and its clean adhesion ensures sensitive hardware remains undamaged. WECENT integrates Elastikon Tape into Dell PowerEdge R760 and HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 setups for optimized airflow and reliable operation.
| Elastikon Tape Applications in IT | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Server cable bundling | Reduces clutter, improves cooling |
| GPU securing (RTX A6000) | Prevents vibration damage |
| Rack mounting protection | Elastic support for heavy loads |
| Data center labeling | Secure, removable adhesion |
How Does Elastikon Tape Work?
Elastikon Tape stretches to provide consistent pressure while the rubber adhesive ensures a strong, residue-free hold. The red center line guides uniform application.
Its high-twist cotton construction combines breathability with flexibility, making it suitable for prolonged use. In IT, it conforms to server components, securing SSDs, HDDs, and high-density GPUs in PowerVault ME5 arrays. Unlike rigid tapes, its elasticity absorbs vibrations from CPUs in Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, enhancing durability. WECENT pairs Elastikon Tape with custom Cisco and H3C network builds to reduce failure rates in data centers.
The latex-based grip withstands humidity, ensuring secure performance in cooling-intensive environments. WECENT customizes Elastikon solutions for PowerStore and PowerFlex storage in finance, healthcare, and cloud applications.
What Are the Key Features of Elastikon Tape?
Key features include elastic cloth, breathable backing, rubber-based adhesive, and a red center line. Sizes typically range from 2″ to 4″ widths.
Elastikon’s natural rubber backing minimizes skin irritation and supports heavy-duty tasks. In IT, porosity aids heat dissipation around GPUs like NVIDIA H100, while clean adhesion preserves coatings on Dell EMC PowerScale nodes. WECENT supplies Elastikon alongside 16th-gen PowerEdge servers for custom cloud computing solutions.
-
Elasticity: Stretches up to 200% for dynamic support.
-
Adhesion: Rubber-based, peels cleanly from metal surfaces.
-

Which Sizes of Elastikon Tape Are Available?
Elastikon Tape is commonly available in 2″ x 5yd, 3″ x 5yd, and 4″ x 5yd rolls, with pack sizes of 4-6 or full cases.
Shorter 2.5yd packs are ideal for smaller IT tasks, while 5yd rolls handle extensive rack wiring. WECENT integrates 3″ tapes for RTX 50-series GPU bundling and 4″ rolls for ProLiant ML110 tower setups. Bulk options are available for 17th-gen servers like R770.
| Size | Ideal IT Use Case | Pack Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 2″ x 5yd | Cable ties for switches | 6 rolls/box |
| 3″ x 5yd | GPU securing | 4 rolls/box |
| 4″ x 5yd | Full rack strapping | 6 rolls/case |
Why Choose Elastikon Tape for IT Infrastructure?
Elastikon Tape offers elasticity, breathability, and clean adhesion, outperforming rigid alternatives in dynamic, high-density IT environments.
Its vibration resistance and residue-free removal maintain uptime in data centers. WECENT applies it to HPE BL blade servers and Huawei storage systems to prevent cable slippage. Cost-effective and durable, it supports secure, efficient IT deployments in education, healthcare, and enterprise sectors.
How Can Elastikon Tape Enhance Data Center Cable Management?
Use the red guide line and stretch moderately to wrap cables evenly, securing bundles around server racks.
Overlapping 50% per wrap on NVIDIA Tesla A40 GPUs or Cisco switches reduces airflow obstruction by 20–30%, improving cooling in PowerEdge R940xa deployments. WECENT customizes these setups for high-density GPU arrays and SSD integration in ME484 storage systems.
IT Cable Management Steps:
-
Clean surfaces
-
Stretch tape 50–75%
-
Align red line for overlaps
-
Test easy removal
What Makes Elastikon Tape Ideal for Server Rack Securing?
Its elasticity conforms to rack contours, while adhesive holds under load. Porous backing prevents moisture accumulation, and the red guide ensures consistent tension.
For Lenovo DL380 or Dell C6525 racks, Elastikon Tape secures panels and trays against shocks. WECENT combines it with 14th-gen R740xd servers for stable, 24/7 operations, offering adjustability without residue compared to zip ties.
WECENT Expert Views
“In enterprise IT, minor details like cable management can cause 40% of downtime. Elastikon Tape improves this with its elastic grip on GPUs like our NVIDIA H200 series—securing hardware without heat buildup. For custom PowerFlex builds, it ensures airflow and compliance, reducing maintenance by 25%. WECENT integrates it in all OEM deployments to support AI and big data solutions.”

Are There Alternatives to Elastikon Tape in IT?
Alternatives include cohesive bandages or Velcro straps, but Elastikon excels in adhesion, stretch, and residue-free performance.
WECENT prefers Elastikon over silicone tapes or non-elastic wraps, especially in humid, cooling-intensive data centers.
| Feature | Elastikon | Cohesive Bandage | Velcro Straps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adhesion | Strong | Self-adherent | Hook-and-loop |
| Stretch | High | Moderate | None |
| Residue | Minimal | None | Possible |
| IT Cost | Low bulk | Higher per use | Initial high |
