This can lead to frustration and wasted time when trying to locate a specific piece of equipment. A communications room and cabinet tidy will help you keep your data center organized so that you can easily find the equipment you need when you need it. Fault finding. Fault finding becomes more difficult. Isolating a cable that's not labeled is like finding a needle in a haystack. This can lead to frustration and wasted time when trying to locate a specific fault. Fire hazard. A communications room or cabinet that's not regularly maintained can be a fire hazard. As you purchase new equipment that requires a power supply, it's quite easy to use extension leads as a quick solution. Over the years this can lead to extension leads plugged into extension leads. Therefore, drawing power above the recommended amount. Shortened lifespan. Unorganized patch leads can shorten the lifespan of your networking equipment. When patch leads are not strategically installed, and left running across the front of the cabinet, they block the airflow of your equipment. As a result, the overheating shortens the lifespan of the equipment. Linked networks. For buildings with separate networks, such as schools or colleges, there's a risk that one stray cable can link two separate networks, therefore allowing full access. For instance, one of our previous clients, a school, the pupils network and admin became linked in error. As a result, the students had full access to all files, folders, and unrestricted internet use. Communications room tidy summary.
