Data centers and network support have become an integral part of every business today. The software applications which keep mission-critical operations running in redundant, 24/7 ecosystems, rely on structured cabling systems that are properly engineered which they use to connect the cloud to every user. So, you can say that structured cabling is the main foundation of data centers. However, structured cabling is not as useful as UPS systems, it plays a vital role in supporting the cloud. But, there is one important component which people easily forget is patch cord, also known as fiber optic patch cord. Usually, we buy patch cords at the last minute and install them haphazardly. But, you can improve the performance of your network by selecting the right patch cord type. Proper design, specification, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of patch cord systems help to ensure that your network experiences much uptime. If there is a problem with the patch cord, it can cre...

Using a computer in any business usually requires to be connected to a network. For connecting to your wired network, you require a free Ethernet port on your computer. If it is not available then a USB Ethernet adapter provides the necessary connectivity. When there is no availability in your system for an add on, be it Ethernet adapter or a peripheral, you might need a USB extender. They help you to run a cable to the convenient location and still use the functionality of your system. So, when USB plays such an important role in connectivity, let's understand, what is it? USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a port that allows you to transmit data at high speed between your computer and peripheral devices like keyboard, external hard drive, and many such devices. It came into the market in 1995 and since then has become an important part of our devices irrespective of their size. Its features like plug and play operating system, connecting with the other peripheral ...

For every power supply, there is a separate cord that supports its work. Server power cord plays an important role in connecting the servers and PDUs. It is vital to choose the suitable network systems as power cord standards differ on the basis of the countries. In this article, we will discuss the server power cords and their applications. You can use power cords or jumper cords to connect with the server. They consist of three necessary components i.e. plug, cord, and receptacle. There are different types of cords available across the globe. But, amongst all, the most common ones are the IEC60320 power cords and  nema power cords . IECs are available in North America and other countries have NEMA cords. Going further among these server power cables, the most common among the vendors like Dell, HP, and many others are C13 to C14 power cords. There are many different types in these two types of cords. Let's understand the applications of these power cords in different ca...

This article is about the  DisplayPort cable . But since DisplayPort is neatly integrated with USB Type C, it is also about that. The latest update in DisplayPort is the DisplayPort Alt mode 2.0. The new standard has interoperability with the USB4 specification by the USB Implementers Forum. According to VESA, the update in the specs are: the USB-C connector can transmit up to 80 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of DisplayPort video data utilizing all four high-speed lanes in the cable, or up to 40 Gbps with simultaneous SuperSpeed USB data delivery. USB C has truly become the port to have on all devices and day by day, it keeps getting more powers. When devices start getting the new DisplayPort standard, a specced out USB C port or cable would have Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0, and Power Delivery. Now that’s the kind of cable we can call ‘one cable for all’. If you were to have devices that supported this specification and the cable, what are the things you could do...

I used to be one of those people who thought my average specced laptop was enough for me to occasionally work from home, watch movies, and do certain basic computer things. At work, my setup was more than enough for my tasks. I don’t even have a desk in my house. Since I have not really needed one for years. As working from home becomes more permanent, everyone I talk to finds themselves wanting a proper home office setup with a desk and filing cabinets and more. If you have previously worked remotely a few days a week, or month, it was very easy to just use the special equipment when you were in office and use a laptop for those few days at home. But now things are much different. Your home office is the only office you have and will have for a long time now. However, it is even more important to get your work done more efficiently. With economical imbalance, the better work will be rewarded. Or the steady business will remain afloat. If you live with your family, then you w...

The way we entertain ourselves has changed, and is continuously changing. We used to listen to the radio, or watch tv. If we wanted to enjoy movies, we used to go to the theatre to watch them. As the entertainment itself changed, the ways of how we consume that content also changed. Internet content became mainstream and was delivered through special services besides cable television to us. We began by watching those, and the number of these special internet channels grew, providing an abundance of content. The way we used to go to movies in a group, we began to have Netflix parties at home. If a favorite TV show is coming out with a new season, we now arrange watch parties where we gather our friends who also enjoy the same show and watch it together. This means we changed the devices we consumed our entertainment on as well. From personal computers, and bulky TVs, we now have both elaborate setups and portable ones. Two-in-one computers, tables, and detachable laptops that tu...

COVID-19 is changing things. There are revolutionary changes happening in the working landscape. Here, in our very own Silicon Valley, famous for tech companies, things have shifted. Everyone moved to working from home, with barely any signs of going back to the office. An office brings with it plenty of tools, like computers that your work actually needs, headphones, webcams, if required, camera equipment, video sets, desks, and chairs, tablets, external monitors, and reliable internet. I should also mention the snacks and coffee breaks that come with this package. Tech companies have great internet connectivity, generally speaking. So, leaving behind those offices has not been comfortable while doing the exact same internet heavy work. Not to mention the added usage of data for video conferencing. Over the last few weeks, some companies have started issuing orders about working from home through the end of the year or even permanently. This changes quite a lot in terms of l...
