Going for gold: Recognizing substantial levels of innovation

Gold-level awards are earned by organizations whose innovations are judged to be excellent, and whose benefits are clear. Each gold-level innovation makes a substantial improvement over previous methods employed, approaches taken, or products and systems used. 2019 Cabling Innovators Gold Awards include products and customer use cases from AFL, Belden, Chatsworth, CommScope, Corning, Credo Semiconductor, Esticom, Fluke Networks, Drybit, Jonard Tools, Legrand, Leviton, OFS, Panduit, R&M, Rosenberger, Senko, Siemon, Softing, Sumix, Sunbird, Superior Essex, and Wirewerx.

Singlemode or multimode glass fiber: What is the next trend?

The biggest challenge in selecting the right fiber type is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of current and future requirements. . For most data center operators, aspects such as high bandwidth, low or adjusted latencies and various aspects of power management play a decisive role in their decision. Of course, the costs for optical transceivers as well as system and installation costs must also be kept in mind. As data transfer speeds and technologies continue to evolve, structured cabling should always support network infrastructures with data rates beyond the current data rates.

Rosenberger OSI receives GOLD at the Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards 2019

Rosenberger OSI’s Identification Patch Cord (IDP) has been recognized as one of the best in the industry at the Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards 2019. The IDP simplifies the manual patching of patch cords in distributors while preventing the wrong patch cord from being pulled. Thanks to an external light source, which is simply plugged onto the connector at one end of a patch cable to be patched, its other end can be unmistakably and reliably identified.

Rosenberger named USConec partner supplier for MDC duplex connectors and panels

USConec and Rosenberger are collaborating in the deployment of USConec’s MDC 3X density solution for hyperscale data centers and other applications. Offering 3X the density of duplex LC connectors, the MDC duplex connector offers simple insertion/extraction using a built-in push/pull boot, and field-polarity configurability. This ensures the MDC platform meets today’s challenges of high-density fiber management in data center environments.

Rosenberger to unveil data center, fiber-optic innovations at 2019 BICSI Fall show

At the Fall BICSI Conference, Rosenberger will introduce its Lyra Intelligent Micro Data Center platform ‘in a box’ for IoT edge and 5G MEC applications, as well as its FTH-9 Plus Wave ODF cabinet for Seismic Zone 4 “Ring of Fire”-sensitive data center installations. The LYRA IMDC provides power, cooling, UPS, cable management and cloud remote-monitoring. It can be installed in less than 3 hours with 40% space-savings versus traditional data center installations. Applications include small data centers, office areas and edge deployments.

Data center planning

Data centers are the control hubs of businesses and organizations. Complex architectures and operating workflows, as well as a range of different applications, all pose a challenge for the network infrastructure. The quality requirements that are placed on structured, application-neutral cabling are correspondingly high. Individualized planning and a high level of automatic cable management play an important role. Transmission paths and attenuation budgets must be considered right from the start in the design of a modern data center. This is because efficient cabling forms the basis for the trouble-free operation of all the processes and this factor must therefore be taken into account during the data center planning phase.

Clever patching for high availability in the data center

Adds, moves and changes in the data center require re-patching. Network documentation is essential to enable a comprehensive overview and offers starting points if failures  or problems occur, or special upgrades have to be imported. Equally important: the documentation also helps to identify possible risks in the event of planned changes or extensions to the network infrastructure. Misplaced patches can lead to interruptions in active data transmission and thus to data loss, which can be cost-intensive for the company.

Flexibility in building cabling – does the world of work 4.0 really need it?

Flexibility is particularly in demand when companies change their processes in order to master the challenges of digitization. The change in organisational structures has immense effects on jobs. The trend is away from individual offices and towards open areas that create communicative and creative workspaces. This meets the needs and working methods of the “digital natives”. And in view of the shortage of skilled workers, companies would do well, not to shut themselves off from this development.
