These days, most offices, if not all, depend on using a variety of network equipment. Network equipment has become a necessity in the technology world, but users need to think about the possible hazards that can occur as a consequence. Fortunately, there are many different IT accessories that can increase the safety of your network and networking equipment. You should do everything it takes to protect your network equipment in order to ensure a long service life of your electronics and avoid costly repairs or replacements. Here are few unique IT accessories you can utilize to boost the safety of your network.
Rackmount Power Boards – Rackmount power boards contain few electrical sockets and are attached to a wall-mounted electric sockets via flexible cables. If you are using more than one piece of equipment, one or few rackmount power boards may help you establish a secure multiple electrical connection. Rackmount power boards, or known as industrial power boards, are strongly recommended to be only used with built-in safety switches (circuit breakers). With a ON/OFF switch, you can turn it on and off before and after use in order to protect your assets. Industrial power boards can be used in various environments, only be careful not to overload the power board.
IT Racks – To store your industrial power boards and all other network equipment, you should get an IT rack. It is designed to free some space for your cables, computers, modems, routers, servers, network equipment, patch panels and other. The basic purpose of using an IT rack is to increase the network safety, while it also allows you to make the most out of your floor space. However, before getting an IT rack, you need to make sure that your industrial power boards and other equipment fits into it. There are IT racks high over 2 m which can hold the weight of about 150 kg.
Fibre Optic Cables – Fibre optic cables are a unique way to protect your network, because they are made from high-quality glass (or plastic) and are safer than regular Ethernet cables. Fibre optic cables have a bandwidth with no limits (which is about a thousand times greater), thus transmission of data is faster and much more flexible. With faster and more secure connection, you can protect your network and network equipment and increase productivity.
