TL3224 MPO Optical Power Meter and TL3124 MPO Optical Light Source is an Optical Test Solutions especially designed for Data Center on site testing. The MPO Optical Power Meter and MPO Optical Light Source could be applied in pair to test the insertion loss for MPO/MTP Patch Cord Insertion Loss, Polarity Condition, etc. it support […]
Data center planning has become somewhat of a specialty in the architectural world. Most architectural firms either have an RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) on staff, or acting as a consultant to assist with the specialized equipment not addressed by their Electrical Engineers and Mechanical Engineers. The equipment housed within the center is complex each with specific […]
The TIA TR-42.1.1 group was tasked with the development of the “Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Internet Data Centers.” “The scope of the working group included topology and performance for copper and fiber cabling, and other aspects of the IT infrastructure that will enable these facilities to rapidly deploy new technologies. Although the standard was published prior […]
Recommended cabling infrastructure deployments in the data center are based on guidance found in TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers. Using a distributed star topology in a structured cabling implementation provides the most flexible and manageable infrastructure. Many data center deployments today use the reduced topology described in TIA-942 where the horizontal distribution areas (HDAs) are […]
Data requirement is tremendous increase in year 2016 to year 2020, thus a high transmission media is required, Active Optical Cables (AOCs) could achieve high data transmission over distances, The AOC with electrical inputs as a traditional copper cable, and use optical fiber as transmission media, it is an ideal to streamlined installation for high-performance […]
Singapore is creating test environments to assess if data centres are able to operate at optimal levels even in hotter, tropical climates. The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) said Monday it was working with various industry players to evaluate the feasibility of a “tropical data centre”, in which environmental temperatures would be tested at up to […]
Believe it or not, there is no straightforward answer to this question. Most countries in Europe have been using STP cabling for a long time, whereas in the US and in Canada, UTP has maintained dominance with over 95 percent of the installed base using UTP instead of STP. A best practice is to stay […]
Narrowing down and selecting the right combination of cabling components can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you consider the hundreds of comparable components available on the market. Each component has its own advantages and disadvantages, cost variations, and compatibility levels. This is your best chance to get the right equipment purchased and deployed and to […]
Color provides quick visual identification. Color coding simplifies management and can save you hours when you need to trace cables. Color coding can be applied to ports on a patch panel: patch panels themselves come with different color jacks or have colored inserts that surround the jack. Cables are available in many colors (the color […]
With the technological evolution occurring in data centers, test requirements dramatically changed for the fiber networks that connect mission-critical servers, networking and storage devices. Selecting the proper OTDR to test your network not only strengthens its reliability, but also improves how quickly and efficiently the job is done, as well as documenting the quality of […]
