TIA has honored longtime TR-42 leader and contributor Jonathan Jew with its highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award saying, Jonathan has dedicated over two decades to TIA’s TR-42 and Technical Advisory Groups, holding various leadership roles such as Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Editor. He has been instrumental in shaping TIA’s acclaimed data center standard, ANSI/TIA-942, and has made significant contributions to a wide range of premises and supporting standards.
The Telecommunications Industry Association has published ANSI/TIA-942-C Data Center Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard. Approved for publication earlier this year, the “C” revision of the 942 standard includes several significant modifications from the “B” version, including the incorporation of previously published standards documents, recognition of a new media type and connectivity, new requirements, new recommendations, and references to technical documentation published by other standards-development organizations.

As cloud computing evolves, new data centers need to process increasingly large volumes of data. Optical fiber communications systems are expanding to accommodate the rapidly growing needs of these data centers, which include increased demand for higher-density cables with higher fiber counts. Download the full white paper to learn more about Sumitomo’s ultra-high-density optical cabling solutions for data centers that achieve better networkability, flexibility and reliability.
Polarity defines direction of flow, such as the direction of a magnetic field or an electrical current. In fiber optics, polarity is directional; light signals travel through a fiber optic cable from one end to the other. A fiber optic link’s transmit signal (Tx) at end of the cable must match the corresponding receiver (Rx) at the other end.
The potential of semiconductor photonics can be summed up in four words, More Data, More Quickly. To respond effectively to the ever-increasing demand for data usage around the world, the global technology industry faces several issues. Today, the typical size of a data center is comparable to that of a football field, and some of these facilities demand as much power as a small city. With the increase in demand for these high-speed data centers, it is more important than ever to ensure that data centers are built and maintained in a secure, reliable, and efficient way. Embedded optics at the board module are not new, but a necessary shift toward optical options is sweeping the industry.
The Data Center Summit will take place November 1 and 2, with sessions covering data center cabling, cooling, artificial intelligence, and other driving forces.
As service providers and hyperscale providers progress in advancing artificial intelligence, algorithms, 5G networks, and augmented and virtual reality, it is creating a greater demand for data center liquid cooling.
According to the latest research by InsightAce Analytic, the global data center liquid cooling market size was valued at $3.56 billion in 2022, and it is expected to reach $31 billion in 2031, recording a promising CAGR of 27.2% during the forecast period of 2023-2031.
In this blog, we’ll take a look at some approaches data centers can take to handle the transition from their legacy fiber configurations to newer designs that will place them on a path to 1.6T and beyond, or to those next-generation applications, for their capacity needs.
Now available on demand. This one hour webinar covers multifiber connectivity with a specific focus on data center networks. Jennifer Cline (US Conec) will address VSS Multi-Fiber Connectivity; Ken Hall (CommScope) will present on Designing a Dynamic Data Center Fiber-optic Network; and Jim Davis (Fluke Networks) will discuss Testing Tools & Techniques for Multi-Fiber Cabling Systems.
