EMI
Explanation: Running cables next to heavy equipment can cause Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). For example, putting speakers next to a monitor may cause the sound output to be scratchy. This is an example of EMI. If you move the speakers, the sound will be reproduced correctly. No permanent damage has resulted. The same is true if you run a data cable too close to an EMI source. Data flow may be interrupted. Remove the EMI, and your network should function properly. |
