In our last article on how to connect end devices beyond copper Ethernet’s 100 meter range, we looked at various solutions to the dilemma of needing to connect an end device that’s just a little too far from the nearest telecommunications room (TR),...
It’s a common problem – you need to connect an end device that’s just a little too far from the nearest telecommunications room (TR). While industry standards limit the length of a channel to 100 meters, connecting the device maybe require a channel...
Planet IRM and Fluke Networks have integrated LinkWare Live into the Planet Infrastructure Relationship Management software solution, allowing customers to access detailed cable test results from their physical asset network diagrams, providing a...
The first in a series of articles on re-certification. Recently I was talking to a consultant in the structured cabling business and he was concerned that for a major project he was overseeing, some of the test results indicated that they had been...
In our last Cable Testing 101 series, we covered the difference between OM3 and OM4 50µm multimode fiber -- primarily the fact that the fiber core of OM4 has been constructed to provide better attenuation and higher bandwidth, thereby allowing for...
Introduction IEC and other organizations, such as TIA, routinely reaffirm standards every few years. Reaffirmation is a way for subcommittees to decide if a standard is “dated” or still applicable to current times. Technology and market needs change...
Whether you’re a process or plant engineer, a technician, or an electrician, you’ve got to be an expert in a wide array of areas today--including Industrial Ethernet (IE). Sooner or later, you’re going to run into a problem caused by others who...
If you’re at all familiar with copper cable, you’ve probably heard about crosstalk--the phenomenon by which a signal transmitted on one pair or one channel creates an undesired affect on another pair or channel. Crosstalk causes interference on an...
While everyone has been working smart and social distancing, LinkWare Live surpassed another milestone with over forty million test results uploaded since it was launched back in 2015. Last spring, we passed the twenty million mark meaning that...
