Last month, we published a blog about the various industrial Ethernet connectors including M-series and some new small form factor connectors like the iX and emerging single-pair Ethernet connectors. But what good is a connector designed to...
Industrial Ethernet is very sensitive to delays caused by dropped or damaged data frames (sometimes called packets). Just a few dropped or damaged packets can cause a machine to shut down. These problems are often intermittent and can be caused by...
Planning to attend the upcoming BICSI Winter Conference & Exhibition on February 9-13 at the Tampa Bay Convention Center in Tampa, FL? Fluke Networks is offering plenty of educational opportunities to learn all about fiber, Industrial Ethernet and...
Have you ever carefully calculated insertion loss during the design phase and then passed your permanent link testing after installation only to find out that the channel isn’t performing once it went live?
There’s an ad that says, “We know a thing or two because we’ve seen a thing or two.” With billions of links certified by our testers and something like five more every second of every business day, we’ve seen just about every possible cabling...
Over the past decade, we have heard a lot about the Internet of Things (IoT), and the increasing number of connected devices and integrated systems being driven by sensor technology and the shift of traditionally proprietary and analog devices to...
Our industry commonly uses the term “RJ45” to refer to the modular 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) interface deployed for Ethernet over copper twisted-pair network cabling despite it pretty much being a case of mistaken identity. But since the RJ45...
While you might hear your CFO grumbling about staying under budget from a dollar perspective, staying under your loss budget from a fiber perspective has a much bigger impact on your network performance – which ultimately impacts your bottom line by...
As we head into the holidays and a new decade, you may find that you’ve finally got some time to wind down at home as you use up the remainder of this year’s vacation days. And even if you’re stuck in the office keeping the network up and running,...
Last week, we talked about how Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is making waves in the industrial automation world as a potential replacement for fieldbus architectures. At the recent Rockwell Automation show, Fluke Networks demonstrated a prototype...
