Replacing or upgrading often means operational downtime\u2014something no data center or high-rise can afford.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Scalability Roadblocks<\/b>: When power needs increase, cables don\u2019t adapt easily. Expansions typically mean rerouting, rewiring, and extended outages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Safety Risks<\/b>: Cable bundles can overheat, are harder to cool, and increase the risk of fire hazards\u2014especially in high-density environments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cabling systems are essentially static.
