Power over Ethernet has become the new power grid in buildings. With new standards that allow up to 99W to be delivered, PoE has grown up and is ready to power connected devices throughout the office building, school, and hospital. Panduit’s latest ebook, The Role of PoE in the Modern Connected Enterprise, explores infrastructure considerations and emerging solutions for extending the distance of PoE delivery.
Better cleaning is the answer for modern fiber optic networks but the cleaning product selection process based on cost, not effectiveness. This White Paper suggests a better decision is to define the “best practice” that will “future-proof” each installation so the connectors are perfectly clean first time, every time. Better cleaning will save time and money.
New user requirements and a steady demand for more capacity have created new test challenges across the optical network spectrum. These articles explore some of the more salient challenges as well as solutions, including the benefits of the right monitoring system, strategies for successful multi-fiber connectorization, and evolving data center test requirements.

Traditionally, single-mode has been limited to applications such as long haul, service provider networks, metropolitan area networks, and backbone distribution for large campuses. However, single-mode is now finding its way into shorter reach applications.In early 2018, Leviton surveyed network professionals about the type of fiber they would install today to plan for future growth, and found a significant jump in OS2 compared to surveys from previous years. This paper will address some prevailing preconceived notions about single-mode fiber — whether true or false — and provide guidance for single-mode testing, cleaning, and inspecting.
This paper will allow you to make educated decisions when choosing a structured cabling solution that will last for multiple generations of hardware upgrades. It discusses: How the current and future generation of optics work; The pros and cons of each fiber optic polarity option; and The cabling design options for your data center.
Protecting network traffic from the noise and heat inherent with PoE is critically important. Download Berk-Tek’s white paper for an overview of the real-world challenges that are taxing copper-based cabling systems as IP convergence becomes more prevalent.
While standard twisted pair technology has improved, over time, gaps within pairs will inevitably develop. Download this free white paper to learn more about Belden’s innovative design to the twisted and bonded pair cable, which ensures you never have to deal with noise interference in your industrial cables, as well as how to accurately specify the right cable for your industrial environment.
The optical fiber network infrastructures installed today will typically see four generations of transmission systems over the network’s expected lifetime. As recent history has shown, the amount of data traffic these networks will carry will increase dramatically and continuously. In order to cope with this increasing growth and anticipate the networks of tomorrow, a completely open spectral transmission window from 1260nm to 1625nm for data transmission and up to 1650nm for network monitoring is necessary in optical fiber cables.
5G Americas, an industry trade association, has published a 120-page white paper entitled: 5G: The Future of IoT exploring the market drivers and technology solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), trends in verticals and applications, and an overview of developments in global 3GPP standards for cellular IoT.
