In a joint step to advance smart buildings technology, MHT Lighting has formed an alliance with Superior Essex Communications and announced the integration of MHT Lighting’s inspeXtor PoE Light Management software with Superior Essex’s PowerWise line of cable. http://www.cablinginstall.com
Can you use the fiber optic cables and testers you already have? See the lane rate of various fiber cables and get tips on testers that will do the job.
Edge computing a fairly amorphous concept that has been around since the 1990s, but thanks to the pandemic, it has given rise to edge computing’s dark horse: the remote worker…
Multi-core fibers increase capacity per system, while uncoupling can reduce signaling complexity and interference.
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-42.11 Engineering Committee on Optical Systems has issued a call for interest for document TIA-526.7-A initially titled ” Measurement of Optical Power Loss of Installed Single-Mode Fiber Cable Plant, Adoption of IEC 61280-4-2 edition 2: Fibre-Optic Communications Subsystem Test Procedures – Part 4-2: Installed Cable Plant – Single-Mode Attenuation and Optical Return Loss Measurement”.
TR-42.11 is developing guidelines in the area defined by the following scope: “This standard is applicable to the measurement of attenuation and optical return loss of installed optical fiber cable plant containing single-mode fiber. The principles of this standard may be applied to cable plants containing branching devices (splitters) and at specific wavelength ranges in situations where passive wavelength selective components are deployed, such as WDMs, CWDM and DWDM devices. This standard is not intended to apply to cable plant that includes active devices such as fiber amplifiers or dynamic channel equalizers.
Edge computing and fog computing allow processing data within a local network rather than sending it to the cloud, which decreases latency and increases security. The main difference between the two is processing location. With edge computing, data processing typically occurs directly on a sensor-equipped product that collects the information or a gateway device physically close to those sensors. Fog computing moves edge computing activities to local area network (LAN) hardware or processors connected to it. These may be physically farther from the data-capturing sensors compared to edge computing.
When installing a network, one of the first decisions that technicians need to make is if they will be using fiber optic cable or copper cable. Although both copper cable and fiber optic cable can transmit an acceptable signal, fiber optic cable is the most desired choice with today’s growing bandwidth requirements over large distances. Below are six reasons why technicians should choose optical fiber over copper cable when installing their network.
The Viavi ONT XPM module is billed as the industry’s first fully-integrated test product specifically focused on the challenges of debugging the 100G PAM-4 electrical lanes used in 800G equipment and infrastructure. Read the full article at: http://www.cablinginstall.com
Based on AT&T’s long-term commitment to its network buildout, Corning said is investing $150 million in optical cable manufacturing in North Carolina, initially adding 200 jobs.
The rise of edge computing means new ways of connecting, computing, and doing business. Companies are moving away from rigid, centralized computing models and toward a more adaptable and flexible distributed model. Before taking the plunge, ask these 5 questions.
