Comms Room Refits/ Tidy

Comms Room Refits and Cabinet Cable Organisation

A neat and tidy data cabinet or rack is not just aesthetically pleasing to the eye; it is also easier to work on and with.

From wall racks to server cabinets, at Flexcomm, we not only design, supply and install your cabling infrastructure but we can also service, redesign and refit existing cabinets / server rooms.

Whether your server rooms / closets have escalated to an unmanageable point, you’ve inherited a badly maintained cabinet or your need some support during an office restructure or move, our engineers will methodically plan the redeployment of your cabling ensuring easy future management and minimse any downtime.

We place an emphasis on the reliability of your business which is why we offer our engineering services 24/7 ensuring that we carry out work at a time that suits you, ensuring minimal disruption to your business.

Most server room nightmares are caused by cable crowding, unorganised patching, piling things up and using the comms room as a storage area.

New equipment may be stacked on top of old pieces of equipment which may or may not be used for anything more than a sedimentary layer. The disadvantages of this include:

– It can cost you in equipment wear and tear as heat kills electronics, and when you take excess cables and extra equipment and cram it all together in a closet with no airflow, you are potentially shortening the life of all that equipment trapped inside the comms room/closet, including your very expensive server.

– An untidy data cabinet can also cost in extra time and money when changes are required. It can cause issues during fault finding call-outs, adding to the time it takes to trace cables and possibly resulting in other users being mistakenly disconnected. It can become unreliable, crowded and difficult to manage. Not ideal for a     business workplace and it may result in increased downtime and lost productivity. Can your business afford for your staff not to be working at 100% all of the time?

– In some cases, it could cost your business in safety and fines. We’ve seen a lot of servers stuck in a supply closet, what if that whole stack came down on someone who just needed a new stack of sticky notes?

– Your employee could be hurt.

– Their fines are expensive. So are HIPAA’s, their requirements include physical security of equipment which includes damage from environmental hazards.

Benefits of keeping a clean and tidy data cabinet or rack

– Simplifies any additions or changes and also helps should you need to relocate.

– Improves the troubleshooting process length (e.g. – Printer problem – if they are all cabled with green cables then it is quicker to locate the relevant one).

– Improves airflow between all active equipment, reducing the risk of failure and shortened lifespan.

– Gives more room so you can install other rack equipment (servers, switches, patch panels).

– Easy to follow should your IT person change.
