Steps to identify fiber color code in data centers its use and benefits
Color-coded cables to make the installation, management and maintenance of fiber and other cables in the data center easier. Different colors are used on the cable’s outer jacket, inner jacket and connector and can help distinguish fiber grades, identify fiber patch cords, separate ports and differentiate connector boots.
What and where to use 25G SFP28 Optical Transceivers and Cables?
SFP28 stands for Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28. It is the third generation of the SFP interconnect systems designed for 25G performance per the IEEE 802.3by specification (25GBASE-CR). It has the same common form factor as the SFP+, and supports 25Gbps electrical interfaces per channel, making it a cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjascent racks. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, small volume and high speed, which is beneficial to increase capacity of data center, improve port density and reduce power consumption.
The Importance of Colocation services in Today’s Scenario
The changing global market conditions have intensified the need for colocation and external data center services.
Webinar: Single Pair Ethernet: One Protocol to Rule them All
Watch this webinar on demand to learn how SPE can impact future building automation system architectures, simplifying networks, and providing greater access to the building system data that can drive efficiency and provide a more pleasant user experience through building technology.
Industrial connectivity: An overview
Connectivity is one of the fundamental pillars upon which the industrial IoT (IIoT) is built. Over the last few decades, industrial connectivity in particular has evolved considerably, especially in response to the ever-changing requirements of the manufacturing industry.
OTDR measurement only compensation
Most people who do an OTDR measurement, do it using just a launch fiber. The advantage in doing it that way is you don’t have to have someone at the other end to move the tail fiber across the patch panel.
Single Pair Ethernet Explained Key drivers behind this emerging technology
With the growth of the internet of things (IoT), machine-to-machine communications, building automation sensors and other emerging technologies, there is greater demand for connectivity that can deliver both power and data over longer distances to support these applications. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is poised to address these trends, as it combines reliable, economical, lightweight and space-efficient single pair cabling with Ethernet’s non-proprietary protocols for greater interoperability.
What are data centers? How they work and how they are changing in size and scope
The future of data centers will rely on cloud, hyperconverged infrastructure and more powerful devices.
The Skinny on 28 AWG Patch Cords
Despite causing a bit of controversy in the industry since they were not originally recognized within ANSI/TIA cabling standards that require twisted-pair structured cabling to consist of 22 AWG to 26 AWG cables, these skinny patch cords continued to grow in popularity.
