Energy costs related to cooling account for approximately 37% of the overall data center power consumption and are one of the fastest rising data center operational costs! Join Panduit September 25, 10am CST to learn how effective airflow management products can reduce energy costs.
The Infinium™ HD Enclosure is an ideal solution for fiber networks in data centers and building networks. The high-density footprint accommodates up to 96 fibers in 1U of rack space. This enclosure has many innovative features designed with the installer, contractor, and network professional in mind, providing a simplified process when installing or working within the enclosure.
The Telecommunications Industry Association has hired Patrick Lozada, a leading expert in international policy, as Director of Global Policy. In his new role, Lozada will lead TIA’s international policy work and represent TIA on the Executive Committee of the Beijing-based United States Information Technology Office (USITO).
Join WESCO and Corning for a BICSI accredited presentation discussing the impact of IoT and 5G on traditional networks, the optical based solutions available and the design options that will help the infrastructure scale with the technology and prepare your business for the massive growth in network traffic that is expected over the next few years.
Private networks offer control, security, and use-case specificity. Edge data centers add robust processing at the edge of the network. So, how will these two engines help to create the IoT applications of the future? TIA’s @GoClarence sat down with industry experts at this year’s @IoTCommunity slam.
Panduit’s Uniboot Push-Pull Fiber Patch Cord supports tool-less, in-the-field polarity change and provides remarkable insertion loss performance, easy field moves/adds/changes, and a low profile to reduce cable-volume density. The cord’s compact dimensions can save up to 40% of termination space compared to conventional connectors. The patch cords are available in singlemode and multimode versions.
Your physical network and electrical infrastructure plays a vital role in your organization’s ability to maximize operational, financial, and environmental efficiencies. In the eBook, Physical Infrastructure: Uncover a Hidden Competitive Advantage, focuses on threats to underperforming network and electrical infrastructure and how to locate them within your operation; latest technology advancements, trends, and new initiatives; and how a strong physical infrastructure is key to future-proofing your business and staying ahead of the competition.
When it comes to testing fiber systems, connector loss refers to the loss of a mated pair of connectors – it’s actually impossible to measure a single connector. To test the loss of the first connector, it must be mated to a similar, known quality connector. That’s where Test Reference Cords (TRCs) come in. But you’ve got to take into account the loss of the TRCs by calibrating your tester to 0 dB of loss. This is done by setting a reference, and it is the most important step in Tier 1 fiber testing using an optical loss test set (OLTS). Setting a reference needs to be done whenever the TRC has been removed from the output port on your tester, and whenever the TRC has been cleaned and inspected.
The lifecycle of a traditional enterprise Ethernet switch, supported by copper cable, is 5 to 7 years. POLs eliminate the need to rip and replace network infrastructure, requiring changes only to the endpoints. This webinar will focus on the deployment of optical line terminals, passive optical splitters and optical network terminals to optimize enterprise network architecture for modern-day applications like IoT, cloud, network-as-a-service and wireless.
Today’s networks are more demanding than ever—always on, always reliable, and no downtime regardless of application or environment. Instead of responding to issues once they occur, owners and operators are looking for ways to proactively manage their infrastructure. How can issues be detected and addressed before they happen, so reliability is guaranteed and downtime is eliminated? Imagine being able to detect small acoustic, temperature, and/or strain changes anywhere along an optical cable in an outside-plant environment, continuously, accurately, and in real-time. And depending on the source used, you could have the ability to detect various environmental events at distances from ones to tens of kilometers away, with large numbers of distributed virtual sensors along the path. All this is possible by using optical fiber as an intrinsic sensing medium.
