By now, you’ve probably heard the news that the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-42.7 Telecommunications Cabling Systems Engineering Committee has approved the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 standard for Category 8 cabling systems. Category 8 is...
While probably one the least talked about standards, and one that is often considered voluntary, the TIA-606-B labeling standard exists for a reason. An unlabeled infrastructure results in an unmanageable mess that ultimately makes every...
Maximizing productivity in today’s fast-paced workplace is essential. Whether installing new fiber links or troubleshooting an existing network, the faster you can locate a problem, the faster you can fix it. That’s easier said than done when you...
So your customer has decided to deploy HDBaseT for ultra high definition video displays and digital signage. If you’re already experienced in deploying a copper cabling infrastructure for IP-based Ethernet applications like voice and data, you have...
With the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent buildings, there are more devices than ever being connected to the network, and many of them reside in the ceiling space--everything from LED lights and building automation devices, to...
