August 4, 2006, Newsletter Issue #51: Use Extensions With Caution
1
Tip of the Week
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there are millions of extension cords being used by Americans that are faulty. Many extension cords, particularly ones bought in discount stores, were made overseas and do not meet proper safety standards. Although many recalls have been issued for some of these cords in the last decade, many are still being used in homes across the country. The holidays pose a particular danger, as many people are using Christmas lights and extension cords with bad wiring, flawed connections and improper grounding. Before using any cords, thoroughly inspect the product for legitimate safety seals and serial numbers. If these things are missing, or if the wire appears defective in any way, discard and replace the cord.

Routing cables and cords
Running cables from your computer to a nearby printer or other peripheral is much easier if you use cable clips, saddles, or clamps. Using wire organizers to route your cables where you want them keeps everything clean and keeps your employees safe. Cable Clips can be quickly installed to organize and label up to twelve wires or cords neatly. Some high quality name brands include Belkin, CB and Hellerman Tyton.
