The less room available in cabinets, on racks, and in cages, the greater the occupancy rate and profits for colocation facilities. Consequently, the ability to access a real-time inventory of every asset in a colo — down to the last spare port — and accurately assess available “stock” is a sales team’s dream.

Webinar: Power over Ethernet Updates: Certification, Cabling and Troubleshooting
While Power over Ethernet is a proven technology with more than a decade of usage, most integrators and users report issues ranging from minor to serious with their installations. Adoption of new standards are leading to deployment of high-power devices that will stress systems and cabling further. This webinar will discuss these problems and how to prevent them before installation even starts, and how to troubleshoot those that still show up.

Two Connector Types for Single Pair Ethernet
Single Pair Ethernet will become a key technology in smart buildings. It is the missing link for connecting devices up to sensor/actuator level by means of a standard Internet protocol (IP). It has the potential to replace existing field bus systems in the Internet of Things (IoT) in buildings or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in smart factories.
