4 Consequences of Bad Network Cabling
1. Downtime and weak network performance. Cabling is the backbone of your data network. A poorly designed and executed installation can cause incompatibility issues, slow internet speed, Wi-Fi dead zones, slow connections, increased latency, and downtime. In turn, those issues lead to lost productivity, less workforce efficiency, and more time wasted dealing with IT challenges.
2. Troubleshooting nightmares. A disorganized cabling closet with tangled cables, inaccurate labeling, and poor record-keeping is an IT tech’s nightmare. If a network problem does arise, your IT team will waste precious time tracking down the problem and solving it. A neatly structured and properly labeled cabling closet will save you time and resources when it comes to troubleshooting.
3. Decreased lifespan. When a space is disorganized, cables easily become crushed, compressed, tangled, and clumped together in a server rack. Cable damage drastically shortens the lifespan of the cables and the equipment they’re attached to. Additionally, a poorly organized server room runs the risk of overheating and causing heat damage, another issue that cuts the lifespan of cables and equipment.
4. Safety hazards. A messy, disorganized cabling cabinet is more than a liability to your productivity….it’s a liability to your safety. Improper cabling can cause tripping hazards, electrical hazards, and fire hazards.
