Cable management approaches

Abstract

In the face of proliferating information technology, facilities managers are increasingly being confronted with symptoms of ‘cable‐stress’, ranging from congested risers and ad hoc cable trays to hazardous, trailing leads around workplaces. At the same time, manufacturers of partitions, floor and ceiling elements and office furniture are making claims for cable management which are often hard to evaluate until the systems have been installed, by which time the money has been spent. Problems of cable management must be treated in a systematic and interrelated way if expensive errors are to be avoided.
