Q. How many Cable Isolators™ do I need?
A. We sell our Classic Cable Isolators™ in sets of 8 (porcelain style) and our new ESD Cable Isolators™ in sets of 12. Typically you need a Cable Isolator for every 10″ of cable laying on the floor. For example if I have 120″ of cables then I need 12 Cable Isolators.
Q. How far apart should I space Cable Isolators™?
A. As a general rule space Cable Isolators 10″ apart. Bear in mind cable stiffness will affect the distance between Isolators as well. Softer cables will sag when Cable Isolators™ are too far apart. Stiffer cables won’t need Cable Isolators™ to be as close together. Try to keep your cables suspended parallel with the floor and minimize any sagging in the cable.

Q. How do Cable Isolators™ work?
A. Cable Isolators™ help to isolate cables from floor borne vibrations, the harmful effects of the dielectric build up in carpet and dissipate static field build up between cables and other surfaces.

Cable Isolators™ also promote proper organization of your cables so power cords and signal cables are not laying next to one another which would cause interference.
