Legrand has introduced a new line of single-phase power products that include LP-Series Power Distribution Units (PDU) and LU-Series Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) to serve the growing demand of edge and IoT applications in the North and Central America regions. The line was built to support network installations in network closets, data centers, retail applications and commercial environments.
This webinar explores the considerations that data center operators must make when planning the 40G-to-400G transition, from the standpoints of optical-networking capabilities and cable-management strategies. It describes how data center managers can increase asset utilization, reducing the complexity of jumper-cable deployment and eliminating stranded or unused fibers. It also details cable-management approaches that can both support high-density fiber installations and ease the process of network changes when they are necessary.
AFL has introduced the FOCIS Lightning Ultrafast MPO/MTP connector inspection system with twin 5M pixel CMOS sensors to image the entire MPO end face simultaneously and perform multi-fiber inspections 10 to 100 times faster than legacy systems. This full view connector end face image is displayed in less than two seconds from power-on—a capability unique in the industry.
Can smart buildings play a part in generating employee productivity? There is an established link between smart buildings and employee productivity and wellness. Business leaders often overlook the importance of gathering data and feedback before they create productivity objectives. The smart building, and indeed, smart technology built for the modern office, can help offset this issue. Constantly learning about its own environment and inhabitants, the smart building is regularly gathering data that can inform a strong productivity plan .
Consistent IoT security requires a consistent and comprehensive security strategy. Fortinet’s John Maddison discusses five crucial elements of IoT edge security and explains how, tied together, they build a unified, interconnected, responsive system.
The winners of the second annual IDC Smart Cities North America Awards (SCNAA) have been named. An earthquake alert app, kerb-to-gate biometric airport terminal and a flood mitigation programme are among the category winners of IDC’s smart city awards. The awards launched in 2018 by IDC Government Insights are designed to recognise the progress North American communities have made in executing smart cities projects, as well as provide a forum for sharing best practices to help accelerate smart city development in the region.
MMF has historically been used by enterprise LANs inside buildings and across campus. For renovation projects, the removal of MMF cabling, and its replacement with singlemode cable, often hurts the business case for an Optical LAN design. Furthermore, where Optical LAN was preferred for the new expansion, customers have been hesitant to operate traditional LAN and OLAN in parallel. New sm/mm optical splitters allow users to leverage their mmf installation and get the advantages of a POL. Click Here To Register
Fibre Channel, or FC, is a high-speed network technology (commonly running at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 128 gigabit per second rates) primarily used to connect computer data storage to servers. Fibre Channel (FC) is the prevalent technology standard in the Storage Area Network (SAN) data center environment. Fibre Channel was designed as a serial interface to overcome limitations of the SCSI and HIPPI interfaces.
Learn about the different form-factors, transceivers and modules available for 100Gb Ethernet on Cisco devices. There are many different types of 100Gb Ethernet transceivers. Each has its own functional mode.
The release of purpose-built MPO test solutions has become a game changer for many contractors, giving them the ability to efficiently install and test MPO networks. With tools that are purpose-built for testing MPO, technicians can streamline their test workflows to reduce test time by up to 80%. In addition to time savings, the test process is greatly simplified, as technicians are no longer forced to deal with the complexities of breakout cables and the added steps involved when referencing and testing with devices that were built for single or duplex fiber connections.
