Most carpet made today is anti-esd. I just found this out as we are building a new data center also. On Thu, 15 Oct 1998, Charles Sprickman wrote:
Hi,
This is a bit off topic, but I'm sure someone here has opinions to share...
I'm looking for carpeting for the area outside of a machine room that won't cause the "shuffle your feet and shock yourself" phenomenon. I noticed most datacenters I've seen are carpeted up to the entrance without any ESD problems. Is there special "anti-ESD" carpet? Where might I find it?
Thanks,
Charles
