Explanation

The type of copper wire that is used for grounding the racks to the SRG (signal reference grid) in a data centre is braided copper wire or flat copper strip. Braided copper wire or flat copper strip are preferred over thin or thick copper cable for grounding purposes, because they have lower impedance and higher surface area, which allow better dissipation of electrical noise and interference. Moreover, braided copper wire or flat copper strip are more flexible and durable than copper cable, which make them easier to install and maintain. Braided copper wire or flat copper strip should be connected to the SRG using exothermic welding or other code-compliant methods, and should follow the relevant standards and codes, such as ANSI/TIA/EIA-607 and
