For commercial buildings in 2018, four trends define the evolution of networking technology that will drive buildings from just being intelligent to being smart: mobility, cyber security, low voltage power and workplace […]
Considering their broadband, low-latency requirements, industry consensus is that 5G radio networks will use fiber as the preferred technology for backhaul (typically connects base stations and the core wired network) and fronthaul […]
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 […]
When considering the impact converged infrastructure and hyperconvergence are having on cabling, it’s important to first understand how data center topologies are evolving. Over the past several years, the emergence of software-defined […]
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 […]
Migrations of large data centers are passable complicated as they pose significant risk to event integrity. The subsequently best practices may assist IT executives to assign take over resources for migration plans, […]
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 […]
Today’s Fibre Channel SANs are tasked with reliably delivering huge amounts of data with almost zero latency in an environment with a large variance of end device capabilities. Fibre Channel is a […]
