[QUOTE="sipxstream, post: 555372, member: 37713"] Hello folks, Apologies in advanced if this is a daft question about earthing my data equipment in garage, but I'd rather be safe than sorry... At the moment, we have a CU installed in the garage for lights and sockets, located at the front of the garage. At the back of my garage we house IT data equipment within a data cabinet, including network switches, CCTV etc. Some of these network devices, including the cabinet itself, allow us to attach an earth cable to the housing of the metallic unit I guess as an additional safety measure. Can I run a 10mm earth cable from the CU to the data cabinet to provide an earth connection, or do I need to take it from the earth block within the meter cupboard outside? Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
