Digital Connectivity is the Foundation for Digital Transformation in Manufacturing The industrial network infrastructure is a valuable business asset. Investments in legacy industrial networks require a clear migration path to optimize return on assets while taking advantage of performance enhancements from new technologies. A robust, well-executed physical layer is foundational to this asset continuing to…
Electrical tape plays an essential role in maintaining electrical safety. And just like with other safety products, you must know what you are looking for when selecting the proper electrical tape.
The international Standards body that specifies the requirements for today’s optical data communications for Data Center and Enterprise applications is the International Electronic & Electrical Engineers, i.e., the IEEE. The specified protocol for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communications is “Ethernet.” The name Ethernet comes from the ancient Greek word, Ether, meaning the air that fills the…

The NFPA 70E Standard provides guidelines for electrical safety in the workplace. Recently this standard has been updated to provide consistency of terms with other standards that address hazards and risk. Some of these changes introduced new terms such as arc flash risk assessment to replace arc flash analysis and shock risk assessment to replace…
Real estate is one of the primary reasons that high density fiber enclosures are deployed in the data center. In some parts of the world, real estate is very expensive. One way to save cap ex is to try to use the smallest data center possible. The smaller the data center, the less square area…
The other day I was participating in a conversation with a customer about LAN and SAN speeds greater than 10G. It was a good conversation and the customer had numerous questions about migrating to 40G Ethernet; what is happening with 100G Ethernet, using multiple fibers for Fibre Channel, etc. Toward the end of the conversation…
