Risk Factor: Cable Dynamics
Data transmission with 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) requires the harmony of all the components of a cabling system. If one part moves unexpectedly, there can be interference in the data stream. More information on the risk factor of cable...
More Jobs for Old Copper Cables
Structured copper cabling is taking on more and more tasks. Today, a growing number of vastly differing end devices are attached to the local data network (LAN). And now Power over Ethernet (PoE) is being used more and more often....
Planning Passive Optical LAN Properly
Passive Optical LAN (POL) opens up new possibilities for office and building cabling. POL brings fiber optics to every workstation and terminal. However, advantages and disadvantages have to be considered prior to investment.
The Road to 40 Gigabits
40 gigabits per second. That is the new benchmark for data centers. If you want to ensure top performance in the cloud era, you are going to have to make sure your networks can cope with this speed. There are...
Saving Energy with Short Links
How can cabling help data centers and local data networks consume less energy? The R&M solution for the new Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard.
Cabling for Wireless Wave2
The new WiFi Standard IEEE 802.11ac (Wave2) is bringing even more and even faster data traffic to access points. What does the structured cabling have to be like to ensure there are no bottlenecks in the network?
40GBASE-T: Battle of the Systems
Things are really hotting up for the experts and network specialists on the road to 40GBASE-T. The IEEE group 802.3bq is aiming to adopt its new standard this year. But which connectivity technology will succeed in asserting itself at the...
