As modern workplaces and homes have become more sophisticated and utilise ever more technology, so the masses of cable that permeate our daily lives have grown proportionally. To prevent becoming lost in the tangle, effective cable management is essential. Fortunately, with a wide range of products and cabling accessories on the market, this task is just a little bit easier than before.
Cable management kits
With so many different accessories on the market, it can be difficult to know what to buy. For this reason, cable management kits are a great option, as they bring together a range of items needed for tidying away and organising cables effectively.
Such kits come in many shapes and forms, but all contain a variety of tools for effective cable management. Many contain a combination of cable wraps, ties and clamps. Others might contain cable trunking and accessories for fireproofing your cables and increasing airflow around them.
CMP Products' Gland Kit is perfect for added safety and fire prevention, and provides a fireproof seal for cables. The Newlec Cable Joint Kit meanwhile provides an all in one cable jointing solution utilising PVC and Polyurethane resin.
The importance of cable management
Cable management is particularly important in offices and other workplaces which make extensive use of computers and other electric equipment. Without a carefully thought out cabling strategy, server rooms and data centres could end up looking like spaghetti junction, with a tangled maze of cabling scattered haphazardly across floors and walls.
A disorganised cable management strategy is not only a logistical and aesthetic nightmare, it is also a health and safety risk. Firstly, individuals working in close proximity to the cables might trip over them, endangering both the employee and the equipment. Secondly, and most importantly, poorly coordinated cables present a significant fire risk. Many fires start as a result of electrical failure, and in the event of a fire, cables that are not protected may perish in the fire, exposing live wires and presenting a further electrical hazard to evacuating personnel.
To protect against such dangers, a variety of cable management kits and other products with flame retardant qualities are available. The Kopex Flexible Conduit provides a flame retardant cabling solution, featuring a galvanised steel core and a PVC cover, and is both flexible and versatile.
Trunking pillows, such as the Newlec Fire Protection Pillow, can also be used to lower the risk of fire. These are made of fire resistant compounds and are utilised to plug holes bored in walls and ceilings for the purpose of electrical cabling. This is vital, as in the event of a fire flames may quickly spread from room to room via any unsealed holes.
Effective and efficient cable management
Managing electrical cables effectively is almost like an art form, and if done well it can save both time and money in the long run, as well as protecting your equipment and your staff from unnecessary risks.
