Cabling - when the mop meets the digital

An equally underestimated and great danger for any computer technology is the cleaning lady. Cables run from almost all tabletop computers to the connection sockets in the wall. The cleaner, however, only has her hygiene in mind. Every cable, which often runs freely across the floor, is then subjected to the full force of the mop, the sweeper's momentum or the unbridled power of the vacuum cleaner.
Regular deformations of the cable are the result - and at some point the data cable breaks inside. Especially when it comes to highly sensitive fiber optic cables. Nobody would believe how often network experts have been called out to deal with data traffic problems, only to find that the cause was a broken cable. It is therefore essential to 'clean-proof' data cables if these problems are to be avoided.
