This is the third blog in our series on connecting a campus network. This entry assumes that you’ve selected fiber for your network, and you are employing outdoor fiber splicing. For more information on whether to use singlemode or multimode fiber, see our previous entry, Choosing a Campus Network Infrastructure: SMF vs MMF. You have…
This is the second blog in our series on connecting a campus network. This entry assumes that you’ve selected fiber for your network. For more information on whether to use singlemode or multimode fiber, see our previous blog, Choosing a Campus Network Infrastructure: SMF vs MMF. Plans are being developed for a new community college;…
You are working on plans for a new campus which will be the home for headquarters, R&D, a light manufacturing facility, and a parking lot or two. One consideration is the infrastructure that connects the campus network. The choice will be optical fiber, but which type? Most of you reading this will be thinking that…

Much has been written about the promise of predictive analytics and how IoT data can improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and save money for the enterprise. In contrast, little is written about the sensors gathering the data that is fed into the predictive analytics engine. Panduit’s white paper, “E.S.P. for IoT Platforms,” discusses the characteristics…
Moore’s Law predicted the technological advances that we are experiencing today, and bandwidth is helping to propel those advances forward, specifically for IIoT. Panduit’s white paper, “The Ubiquity of Bandwidth,” explains how Moore’s Law factors into IIoT network capabilities. Moore’s Law Gordon Moore is best remembered as a co-founder of Intel. But while he was…
For IoT deployments, going to the edge may be the best choice when it comes to helping businesses deploy IoT technology across their network infrastructures. Panduit’s white paper, “Edge Computing: Behind the Scenes of IoT,” explains the difference between the cloud and edge computing and three ways the edge can help IoT technology deployments. It…
Packet loss impacts a network in two ways: it reduces throughput and adds to latency. But why does packet loss occur in the first place? The following excerpt from Panduit’s “What is the Impact of Packet Loss?” white paper focuses on the root causes of packet corruption and its prevention. Corrupted packets can occur when they encounter…
