A "module" of wire mesh partitions is a rigid panel typically measuring 4' x 8' and weighing approximately 55 pounds, very easy to maneuver through cramped interior spaces without damaging sensitive electronic equipment or fiber optic cables.
With these design criteria in mind, the following comparisons can be made:
