Multimode fiber remains the preferred economic calbing media in the data center due to its advantage of utilizing relatively inexpensive transceivers over short (<20m) or long (>120m) links in the data center. […]
Density in the data center continues to climb due to a desire to reduce capital and operational expenditures, improve energy efficiency (lower PUE), avoidance of new build-out, reduction of latency times, and […]
It’s clear that the developing PoE ecosystem will continue to grow through new applications. The challenge to future network infrastructures, especially cabling, is this: How can IP traffic be isolated and protected […]
Wideband Multimode Fiber (WBMMF) is the newest multimode fiber standard developed by a TIA Joint Task Group, Chaired by Panduit. WBMMF is referred to as OM5 in the ISO/IEC 11801: Information Technology […]
IT’s high strategic profile and new business initiatives are placing new pressures on servers, storage, and networks – as well as the data center infrastructure on which they rely. This white paper […]
The methods used for measuring attenuation of installed optical fiber with a light source/power meter (LSPM) are well documented in many standards. Some describe how to test a link. Some describe how […]
With the 100G optics reaching technology and cost maturity, and going full speed for deployment in data centers, the industry is looking at 400G with hyperscale data centers being the main drivers. […]
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), the leading association representing the manufacturers and suppliers of high-tech communications networks, today released a new position paper outlining considerations for development, implementation, and operational features of […]
Density in the data center continues to climb due to a number factors including a desire to reduce capital and operational expenditures, improve energy efficiency (lower PUE), avoidance of new build-out, reduction […]
While anyone who installs, tests and certifies a network cabling plant knows the importance of meeting standards performance parameters and ensuring application support, even the best of us can make mistakes that […]
