A simple task
It is important to make sure that
labelling cables in the workplace
remains a simple task. Access to
an efficient and reliable labelling
system can help to ensure the
safety of the workplace and prevent
any costly health and safety
repercussions. Ease is important
when you consider the regulations
and standards around labelling
requirements and colour coding.
According to research from
Uptime Institute, a US based advisory
organisation focused on improving
business critical infrastructure,
human and mechanical error is
responsible for 88 per cent of power
outages in businesses, therefore
cable management plays a major
role in preventing unplanned
failures. Having organised cables
will ensure that there is minimal
damage to the wires as well as the
machines. Any tangled mess will
interfere with the airflow into the
computers, which is essential to keep
computer component temperatures
down and preserve functionality.
Without intelligent labelling, the
chances of complications occurring
are significantly heightened, plus
recovery becomes a challenging
task costing both time and money.

maintain organisation in a simple
yet effective manner, transforming
a complex system into an easy to
navigate arrangement.
The ramifications of cable
disorder cannot be underestimated
and yet can be easily deterred
by delivering intelligent cable
management and effective cable
labelling. Failing to properly
label cables is inevitably costly to
data centre operations as it can
contribute to interruptions and
prolong downtime. By establishing
a solution to cut down on time lost
addressing operational hindrances, it
will enable a focus on the important
tasks with minimal distractions.
