White Paper: Introduction to Single-Mode Fiber

By on • ( Leave a comment )

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.

By on • ( Leave a comment )

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.

White Paper: Increasing data traffic requires full spectral window usage in optical single-mode fiber cables

By on • ( Leave a comment )

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.

Siemon’s Why Edge? Why Now? white paper explores the solution to reducing latency and the benefits from edge data centers, including fifth generation (5G) networks, Internet of things and Industrial Internet of things devices, autonomous vehicles, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data analytics, and video streaming and surveillance.

White Paper: Get Connected: Smart Buildings and the Internet of Things

By on • ( Leave a comment )

As buildings become more connected, complex, and dynamic, there is a growing need for intelligent building technologies that provide data-driven insights to maximize operational efficiency, cut energy waste, and lower overall costs. This paper explores how smart buildings leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to create new opportunities for information gathering and sharing, and the impact it has on buildings management and operations.

White Paper: Test Considerations for PoE Deployment

By on • ( Leave a comment )

PoE technologies are a critical component to Smart Buildings. Deploying these sophisticated systems can be a daunting task, which is why it is important to understand testing considerations that certify the physical infrastructure meets IEEE, ANSI and TIA standards. This paper provides a standards update across all technologies as well as examples of testing configuration, tests that should be run, gotchas to watch out for, and how to interpret test results.
