Data centers are popping up all over the Midwestern U.S. region to support the ever-growing demand for bandwidth and data, and many of them are reaching capacity. Heartland recognized this fact as an opportunity to diversify its portfolio, and set its designs on converting it’s central office into a new colocation data center with help from Graybar, Corning and Schneider Electric.
Swick Designs’ new SWK Connector is a self-cleaning and self-protecting connector that accommodates polarity change with a single flip and boasts low-loss performance. A unique characteristic is the SWK’s rotating, covered Shield Shroud that cleans the ferrule endfaces and protects them from contaminants. Swick Designs says the Shield Shroud reduces debris and contaminants up to 98.99%.
LC reversible uniboot patch cords are terminated with premium grade zirconia ceramic ferrule connectors and supplied with either a single 2.4 mm or 2.0 mm diameter duplex cable to improve space saving and flexibility in your #datacenter
Dust, moisture, high temps and low temps? Harsh environments require an IT network that will rise to the challenge. Ruggedized infrastructure solutions are ideal for protecting valuable connections in laboratories, hospitals, food processing plants and other harsh environments.
Given the maze of use cases and certifications, these four factors are essential to think through when planning your IoT medical device: Single Use vs. ReUsable, Software & Firmware, Security under HIPPA and Certification standards.
One-petabit-per-second signals could send 8K resolution video to 10 million people simultaneously, researchers say. Japan’s national research agency says it has just successfully demoed a networked version of it. Petabit-class networks will support more than 100-times the capacity of existing networks, according to scientists who have just demonstrated an optical switching rig designed to handle the significant amounts of data that would pour through future petabit cables. One petabit is equal to a thousand terabits, or a million gigabits.
DCI is no longer just about data centers — it’s important for organizations to interconnect their data centers with cloud service providers (CSPs), global internet exchanges (IXs) and their customers’ and partners’ networks. They need the flexibility to connect their physical locations with CSPs and IXs to deliver truly cloud-centric solutions.
In this interview with TIA’s Harry Smeenk, reviews how TIA has taken 5G and IoT, and network evolution and next-generation networking, and put them into use-case examples for edge data centers and smart buildings.
Legrand North and Central America (LNCA) has acquired Connectrac, which develops and offers flexible floor-based cable management solutions that bring power, data, and communications connections to commercial interior applications.
A growing number of operators recognize that the network efficiency brought about by automation is integral to their ability to manage the complexity of 5G. This is especially true with heterogeneous equipment meant to deliver end-to-end services. An early example is Vodafone, which increased its network optimization speeds by a staggering 45,000 percent by implementing AI-enabled augmented engineering.
