Sean - good tip. Will look into that. Still haven't heard a good reason for why ceramic is better, though. If the principle is to isolate the cables from the static electricity generated by the carpet and ceramic is good because it's a good insulator...then vibrapods or any "suspender" made of a non-conductive,polymeric material ought to be just as good. My guess would be that ceramic is used instead of rubber or other non-conductive polymers in industrial power application because it is more durable/resist atmospheric elements better. Then again, I'm not an electric engineer. Still..worth doing a bit more research on this. I'll report my findings back in a day or two...
Cable Supenders - Anyone Try Vibrapods?
Wondering if anyone had tried Vibrapods or other compliant material feet (AQ Sorbothane?) as cable suspenders. Any opinions as to why this would or would not work as well as the special, outrageouly priced ceramic suspenders?
