EMF is fun.
We had one access point (unifi) in our datacenter which was consistently failing.
fail, RMA, fail, RMA, probably replaced that thing 5 times. It was also incredibly unreliable.
Meanwhile all the other access points (probably 10 of them in total) had 0 issues.
Eventually realized that the cable for that AP was running perpendicularly over the conduits which fed power into our suite, so, about 1MW of power. Relocated the cable so it was farther from the conduit and it never had an issue again. Makes you wonder about the effect of working in such environments.
