This is great advice and had I thought/known this I might have chosen another backer material. I just used what I had laying around. Elsewhere I installed cement backer board for this very reason. I just didn’t think about this equipment or the wiring being of concern. I will look into the Intumescent coatings.
I would say it is seriously low risk in a residential configuration like this, and not worth stressing to much about tbh. I happen to have a couple years of experience in IT and have had to bring data centers into compliance for this sort of stuff before, and figured I'd share what I know.
