If you’re a business owner, then chances are that you have a server room to house all your important equipment used for data and other purposes. If a business is considered to be an organism, then the server room and your data facilities may be akin to the nervous system or your brain, relaying information and data, and making many vital business operations possible. Without them, most businesses come to a halt and make the job of your employees hard if not impossible. Therefore, it’s crucial that you protect this equipment so your business operations can proceed as smoothly as it usually is.
Unfortunately, if you don’t design your facilities properly, you can run into many threats and dangers that may cause damage to your equipment. Computers and other electronics are sensitive to a number of factors, and they are very delicate. How do you prevent anything serious from happening? The answer lies in technology that can detect these dangers. Let’s take a look at the sensing cable and how it can help you.
What are sensing cables?
Your server room, though enclosed, can be home to a number of hidden dangers that you might not be aware of. That’s why there are detection systems available that can alert you to the presence of these threats. One of the most useful are sensing cables. Some are even powerful enough to pinpoint the source of said threat! What kind of things can sensing cables detect? Here are a few:
1. Temperature changes: equipment can be neither too hot nor too cold. Some cables can detect if equipment is above or below the temperature.
2. Water leaks: water is incredibly damaging to equipment. These cables detect if there is a leak nearby.
3. Acid/chemical leaks: same reason as for water. They work similarly.
