Unsafe Condition

The distance between the route 9R of the In-Flight Entertainment system and the wire harness for the Lower Deck-Mobile Crew Rest system provisions is too small, potentially causing chafing between electrical harnesses 6581VB and 5495VB or 6938VB. This could lead to a short circuit of oxygen-dedicated wires, resulting in a failure to supply oxygen to passenger masks in an emergency.
