Earn 3 CECs at this BICSI pre-conference seminar from the TIA’s Fiber Optics Tech Consortium. This seminar will answer your questions about fiber types, parallel optics vs. duplex, and migration strategies. Register […]
To properly send data over fiber cable, a link’s transmit signal (Tx) at one end of the cable must match the corresponding receiver (Rx) at the other end. And the role of […]
Driven by the NBASE-T Alliance and compatible with the NBASE-T specification, IEEE 802.3bz specifies 2.5 Gbps over 100 meters of Category 5e cabling or 5 Gbps over 100 meters of Category 6 […]
More fiber means that the demand for technicians who can build and certify fiber plants needs to keep pace. Workers who traditionally installed copper or coax must learn to qualify and troubleshoot […]
https://www.viavisolutions.com/inspect – This episode dives deeper into fiber cleaning techniques with a closer look at fiber cleaning solvents. Tyler and Brian discuss different solvent that should (and should not) be used, and […]
In part one of this series, we talked about the three types of networks: multi-service organization, telephony networks and a traditional cellular network. They all look different when deployed due to the […]
Network convergence is defined as the use of multiple communication modes on a single network that offers convenience and flexibility that are not possible with separate infrastructures. As we look ahead to […]
Siemon’s patent pending Z-PLUG offers quick, reliable high-performance plug terminations in the field for custom-length direct connections to wireless access points, security cameras, LED lights, and building automation devices deployed in today’s […]
Today, our buildings are getting “smarter.” Additional demands on the network are driving the need for more efficiency along with additional demands like: Building security, HVAC, Audio/visual, Lighting and building management systems; […]
A widely respected technical engineering magazine recently ranked the CommScope third in the communications and internet equipment sector based on the quality and size of patent portfolios. In the IEEE Spectrum’s 2017 […]
