BTW I thought raised flooring was more for AC
rather than cables.
It's for everything. Most labs I've worked in that have had raised
flooring have had lots and lots of cabling running under as well as the
AC; it's very useful for keeping cables out of everyone's hair.
Sometimes there are anti-static benefits as well; it's a lot easier to
make raised flooring conductive than regular concrete.
In the classes I took for Cisco certification (a certification which
proved to be utterly useless to me), they were constantly warning of the
dangers of raised floors and dropped ceilings in re: espionage.
Apparently ninjas are a big problem in datacenters? That was the
impression they gave, anyway.
