While smart building technologies enable efficient, safe, healthy, and productive environments, they also expand the digital attack surface for cybercrimes that threaten to jeopardize business, endanger lives, and disrupt critical infrastructure. Unfortunately, the risk increases as more information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems and devices come online, making cybersecurity a critical issue for smart building owners and operators.

Leading manufacturers today are working to help prevent fiber endface contamination by introducing fiber adapters with integrated shutter doors that allow you to do away with pesky dust caps.
In this edition of Voices of the Industry, Sean Baillie, Executive Vice President – Marketing & Connectivity Strategy at QTS Realty Trust discusses the state of the colocation data center industry in an interview with Frost & Sullivan’s Gautham Gnanajothi.
Expert opinions vary, but many agree that up to 75% of all fiber network problems are caused by contamination of patch cords, adapters, alignment sleeves or transceivers. Dirty endface connectors in particular are a real hazard to modern fiber-optic networks. The higher the light frequency in a network, the greater its sensitivity to contamination. This means that faster 5G networks, which need every milliwatt of power to function flawlessly, are more vulnerable to contamination.
