I'm a revolver guy. I am not a fan of the semi-automatic pistol. I am absolutely not a fan of under rails, flashlights, lasers, red dots and any other paraphernalia [...]

Optical connectivity can maximize a data center's overall operations efficiency. Optical cable with laser-optimized 50-[micro]m OM3 fiber provides bandwidth capabilities that support up to 10-Gbit/sec transmission for existing applications as [...]

Available duct space for optical-fiber cable in the campus backbones of many LANs is approaching or is at its maximum capacity. Concerns about business disruption and damage to existing infrastructure, [...]

Optical connectivity with OM3 and OM4 laser-optimized 50/125-micron multimode fiber has emerged as the choice media in the data center. 10GBase-SR Ethernet is becoming the primary data rate for data [...]

Data centers use multiple networks that present operational and maintenance issues, as each network requires dedicated electronics and cabling infrastructure. Ethernet and Fibre Channel are the typical networks, with Ethernet [...]

To maximize use of pathways and spaces, LAN campus, building, and data center backbones are migrating to higher cabled-fiber counts to meet system bandwidth needs, as well as to provide [...]

Security and surveillance camera systems are now a vital application in the enterprise space, where optical-fiber connectivity has emerged as a primary media type. Separate LAN and security surveillance structured [...]

Local area network (LAN) campus and building backbones as well as datacenter backbones are migrating to higher cabled fiber counts to meet increasing system bandwidth needs. In many cases, ribbon [...]

More than ever, higher bandwidth and faster throughput are critical to business operations. IT managers have already adopted 10-Gbit/ sec-capable networks for LAN backbone bandwidth aggregation and data-center applications. It [...]

Information-technology and business managers continue to pursue structured wiring solutions in the local area horizontal network that offer increased revenue and reduced bottom-line cost. Analyst and research firm The Gartner [...]

I'm a bowhunter and flinter, the only modem cartridges and guns I shoot are handguns. Which makes your magazine the best possible choice. Your writers are as good as there [...]

I was surprised to see in the Add It Up column (Insider, July/Aug 2017) only six percent of Handgunner's readership own 10 or more holsters. Seriously? That can't be right. [...]

Several applications have led the growing interest in the standardization of a higher-bandwidth type OM4 multimode fiber. As part of the development of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers [...]

Enterprise LANs should be designed to support legacy applications as well as emerging high-data-rate applications. Until recently, 62.5/125-micron ([micro]m) multimode fiber has been the dominant fiber type deployed in the [...]

Optical-fiber cable connectivity in the horizontal has been deterred due to the excessive cost associated with the optical interface at the computer desktop. To date, end-users desiring optical connectivity have […]

Stranded loose-tube cable has historically been deployed for campus backbone applications in accordance with industry standards, such as ICEA-640, 'Standard For Optical Fiber Outside Plant Communications Cable.' Work has recently […]

Questions have arisen recently on the ability of field-terminated no-epoxy/no-polish (NENP) connectors to support high-data-rate digital systems and analog video systems. These questions have resulted in a number of businesses […]

The article focuses on the important aspects of scalability in the cabling infrastructure industry. It stresses that the main factor in installing cabling infrastructure system is the scalability of data centers. It mentions the development of scalable cabling infrastructure systems which include the OM3 and OM4 multimode fibers.

Focuses on the increasing demand for faster data speed of multimode fiber in the United States. Introduction of high data-rate standard, Gigabit Ethernet; Implementation of the fiber bandwidth measurement procedure; Development of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser.
