OTDR Troubleshooting in the Data Center? ...Yes we can!

The growing demand for higher bandwidth is affecting nearly every industry today, as organizations rely more on applications that support a variety of critical business processes. Whether it’s high-definition video, social media support, electronic medical records or other high-bandwidth applications, companies increasingly are facing a need to support higher capacity data transmission for their employees, customers and business partners. This trend toward greater capacity has in turn created an increased need for high bandwidth fiber optic cabling in the data center.

Encircled Flux - Was es ist und warum es sie interessieren sollte

Mit der Einführung von Glasfaserbestandteilen mit geringer Dämpfung, wie LC/MPO Kassetten, nehmen Dämpfungsverlustbudgets (Testgrenzwerte) zunehmend ab. Infolgedessen finden Installateure heraus, dass vorige Methoden und Annahmen über Glasfaserprüfung nicht länger zutreffen.

Während die Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) noch 0,75 dB pro Verbindungsstück zulässt, liegen fabrikgefertigte Verbindungsstücke näher an 0,2 dB. So stehen Installateure bei Prüfungen zu den TIA-Bestimmungen einigen Messabweichungen gegenüber. Das heißt, dass ihre Prüfverfahren angemessen aber nicht perfekt sein müssen.

Finding the keys to success in the MPO datacenter

当所有公司都在为了支持日益庞大的业务程序解决 IP 流量需求的激增问题时,许多公司正在利用光纤网络设计各自的数据中心,以支持服务器、交换机和存储区域网络之间 10G 或 40G 以太网连接,以及用于核心交换的 100G 以太网和路由主干连接。

在 2012 年 5 月召开的 Interop 2012 会议上,以太网联盟作为致力于改进以太网技术的全球联盟,主办了一项互操作性演示,重点介绍了 10G 和 40G 以太网无缝互操作性。它宣称这项功能可使以太网“具备独特的性能以支持数据中心的云计算、汇聚和虚拟化。”

LinkWare 7 –A good thing just got a lot better!

What do Albert Einstein and Michael Jordan have in common?  No, they’re not both LinkWare users… They focused on continuously learning and pushing the envelope even though they were already far ahead of everybody else. Just like our engineers who worked tirelessly to rebuild LinkWare from the ground up and make the best even better. Improvements include:

This one is for the ages! New OTDR redefines enterprise fiber testing.

By now you will have heard about the new OptiFiber Pro OTDR  and that’s a relief for me because I’ve been biting my tongue for a while!  Now that its been announced, let me share my impressions and an overview of what makes the product unique.  I will also include some links to more detailed information.  Take this from a guy that has spent five of the last seven years playing with OTDRs… I’ve used them all.  And this one is going to change everything!

Would you fight this speeding ticket? The 10% rule explained.

Ironically my desire to speed in traffic evaporated when I bought a real sports car.  But this story is not about me and my desire to push the limits.  It’s about you.

Cloudy days ahead!

Jeder spricht über die Cloud.  Das meiste Gerede handelt von der Weise, wie es unsere Interaktionen mit Daten und elektronischen Geräten verändert.  Aber, was wir in der Verkabelungsindustrie wissen möchten, ist, wie die Cloud Geschäftsmöglichkeiten vertritt.

Re-upped!

I received my new RCDD certificate, good through the end of 2014, in the mail last week. My reaction was more pensive than the elation I experienced after first passing the exam in 2003.
