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?
Yes. Searching AltaVista for "anti-static carpet" (without the quotes) will produce results of which the following is in the first ten matches: http://accessfloor.com/top/carpet/default.html I once recommended anti-static carpet for a machine room, and I was very happy with the way it turned out. I might be able to dig up the name of the supplier if you contact me off-line. Stephen
