(2) Select accessories that can save installation time
With the rapid changes in technology, technicians should be equipped with equipment that allows them to respond quickly to changes in technology. There are a number of considerations that can help achieve a faster installation.
Wire cable baskets offer the option of pulling cables from any part of the cable bridge, thereby increasing the efficiency of the open structure. And its wire mesh construction makes it easy to secure and bundle cables with cable ties or various accessories.
The clip-on wire basket attachment helps connect cable conduit to the wire cable basket and offers two different latch configurations for mounting 0.5" to 1.25" EMT connectors. The bottom mount design accommodates all load depths, but wire cable baskets can also be mounted sideways to 4-inch and 6-inch load depths. Another easy option for securing cables is to use a channel bracket system that provides pre-punched holes. This eliminates the need for drilling and simplifies cable inspection, saving time and labor. This option is more versatile and flexible than enclosed raceways and cable ducts.
Pre-attachment methods that use self-locking splice plates to connect two or more wire baskets also save installation time because the installing contractor can snap multiple wire baskets together using special hardware. These quick latches reduce the time and labor required to splice two wire baskets together after field cutting, and the auto-locking splice plates eliminate the need to carry bulky tools and accessories and reduce the amount of scrap and cleanup time on site.
This type of systematic, organized cable management setup can help prevent kinks and tangles while evenly distributing weight and keeping cables cool, which are key factors in improving overall network performance.
(3) Improve efficiency through organization
One of the most important factors in the continued uptime of a data center is the organization and management of cables. There are several ways to enhance cable organization.
Colored cables are a time-tested method that allows for quick and easy identification of different cable routings at a glance. Wire cable baskets provide the best visibility of wire paths, but even more so when color coding is used. Although cable laying standards do not specify cable colors, some general guidelines still need to be considered. Group color choices by.
Type of cable-CAT5 cable has one color, fiber optic cable has another color, and so on, so that the type of cable can be determined at a glance. Cable Usage - Standardize on a specific color for a specific cable usage. For example, color coding by internal cabling, user equipment, or external cabling may be an effective strategy. Cable target location-For some larger buildings or broader cabling applications, the most effective method is to color code based on the routing of cables in the floor or building area.
Make sure that each color has a meaning and is consistent. Use colors that stand out and are not usually confusing (e.g., pink and red). This will make it easier to track cable routing and resolve any potential problems. The use of paint can be used to code different colors of red, blue, yellow, green, black and white. The cable color can be a custom RAL color.
