TIA updating guidance on cabling for wireless access points
The TIA TR-42.1 engineering committee on premises telecommunications infrastructure has issued a call for interest to updates the document that provides guidance on cabling for wireless access points. TSB-162-B, Telecommunications Cabling Guidelines for Wireless Access Points, will describe the cabling between LAN equipment and wireless access points including pathways and spaces to support the cabling and wireless access points.
Choosing to Deploy Single-mode or Multimode Fiber is Similar to Flying or Driving for Vacation
Believe it or not, choosing between deploying single-mode and multimode fiber optic cable is much like debating whether to drive or fly for a family vacation. How many people are going? What’s the fastest route? What will travel conditions be like? What’s your budget? How comfortable will we be on the trip? Do we need to bring extra luggage? Answering questions like these will help you choose whether you fly with singlemode fiber or drive with multimode.

L-com Releases New OM5 Fiber Cables for High-Speed Data Center Applications
L-com has added a new series of OM5 fiber cable assemblies to address high-speed data center applications. OM5 fiber cable is able to support short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) which reduces the parallel fiber count by at least a factor of four. This allows for the use of just two fibers (not eight) for transmitting 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Ethernet, thus reducing overall fiber counts typically required for higher speed applications.
