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...

Gigabit internet is great. If your business is internet heavy, now is time to make the shift. It will require preparation from your end before your internet service provider can install it for you. It begins with your server room. Remove your server racks and clean them. And since these are delicate parts, you need to clean it with air. A pressure air cleaner will do the trick. Then since you are doing such elaborate exercise, audit everything. In case something is broken, you can replace it right there. Next, you need to take care of the cables. Removing each component is a hassle in itself, so be careful with it. Make sure to label all the cables and components so when you put everything back, there is less chance of mistake. After you have prepared your server room, the internet service providers can come in and do their part: They have to first start with the utility room in your building where the internet enters from the street. They will check and change your wiring ...

Whether you want to upload a large file, connect with a client online, or want to surf, high-speed internet is necessary all the time. To do all these things simultaneously without any interruptions, you want to go for Fiber Optic Internet. It can provide speeds up to 1000 Mbps delivering a seamless experience. In this blog, we are going to talk about what all you can do if you opt for fiber optic internet. Smart Home And Security Fibers can receive data from IoT devices and convert them into electrical signals. This way, you can connect every aspect of your home and run it seamlessly from your smart device. Additionally, you can also protect your home with Smart Home Security technology. Fewer Carbon Footprints Power generation is one of the biggest factors that impact global warming. To curb its effects each one of us needs to be on our toes. Smart grid technology using fiber optic internet can improve electricity generation thereby reducing carbon emissions. By that me...

Networking is the backbone of any IT infrastructure. It's one of the most interesting concepts of technology, at least for network engineers. For many people working with networking devices is interesting as millions of people rely on them. Some of them even find working inside a data center with servers and networking components interesting. Just think about the Google data centers where thousands of queries come every day and how strong their servers have to be to process those queries and revert the results to the users in a matter of minutes. There are so many components, from small to large, included in those data centers and each one is important and interdependent. So, in this article, we've discussed two basic devices of networking which are necessary for a fiber-based solution but people forget them easily. Let's discuss why they are important and what's their use: Fiber Optic Adapter: It's a small device that connects the fiber optic patch cab...

The Ethernet cable has been around for over 35 years. It is difficult to remember a time when you could use either your house phone or the internet via a dial-up connection. This changed when you could use both at the same time but still with an Ethernet cable . The cable got better in terms of speed and reliability. Then we switched over to Wi-Fi and modified Maslow’s pyramid to put Wi-Fi as a basic need. While wireless connectivity is great, the internet is faster when data passes through a cable. With every iteration of the Ethernet cable, the aim is to improve upon the speed and reliability. Devices we use nowadays run on the internet. Our use of the internet is so much that we have refrigerators with screens and smart ovens that have cameras to see how much your food has cooked. As our dependency on the internet increases, so does our need for speed and reliability. This is where the new type of cable comes in: fiber optic cable. Fiber optic cable has a strand of...

The basic definition of patch cables means an electronic cable which connects electronic devices. It allows the transmission of data between them. There are different types of patch cables in the market with fiber optic patch cables being one of the types. Other types include microphone, headphones, RCA, and ethernet. Fiber optic patch cable, cord or often known as optical jumper, is a fiber cable terminated with fiber optic connectors (LC, SC, MTRJ, ST, and more) at each of their ends. These connectors allow the cord to stay connected to an optical switch or other computing devices. These cords are ideal for indoor use in server rooms, data centers, medical imaging, mechanical engineering, LAN applications, Cable TV networks, Telephone lines, and more. If you are looking to buy fiber optic jumper for your system, first you should be aware of its types and functionalities. And then choose according to your requirements. Let’s dive in! Armored Fiber Patch Cord: It is...

Fiber optic cables are capable of supporting most of the world’s internet telephone system, and cable television. They contain strands of glass fibers inside an insulated case. They support the long distance, high performing data, and telecommunications operations. These cables are capable to provide higher bandwidth which can transfer data over longer distances in a matter of minutes. Throughout the years when fiber cables faced a revolutionary period, it became a bit tricky to consider the situations where you need to adopt these cables. Let’s go through a list of considerations which help you to decide when is the correct time to upgrade to fiber optic cables . New Projects: If you have your networking system built under copper system, it makes more sense to stick to the existing system. But there comes one point when it might become more cost effective to use fiber. At this juncture, a cost-benefit analysis helps you determine when to use fiber optic cable . Therefor...

Opting for a new internet connection? Then you must be looking to choose the service which provides high-speed data. As it’s a primary need of any internet user. When choosing the internet connection, we strive to get into every small detail. It is a sure thing that, you’re familiar with cables, wireless devices, DSL. But, fiber optic systems may still be a mystery. Fiber optic cables are modern technology cables that can carry telephone calls and emails around the orb in seconds. For new adopters, the questions may arise that how fiber optic systems work? Would they be beneficial for your business? This article explains both of these questions and the working science behind these cables. The Making These cables are based on advanced technology standards. They are made of thousands of pure glass strands. Each of these strands is thinner than a human hair. These glass strands are bundled into an optical fiber cable with different types of parts described as below: ...

Internet connectivity over an optical cord has become a precious standard for fast and high-quality data transmission. This technology is relatively new. This new nature of it can leave some in a dilemma. Some would even be unwilling to invest in it. Some would still prefer go old school and use convention network cables. Over the years, with the technical progress, even conventional cable has risen to new horizons. But, which technology is better? Both copper and glass or optical cords have their benefits. Both have unique features. If something is better for others does not necessarily make it better for you. So, the right question to ask is which means would suit your business? Fiber Optics Cable The conventional copper wires transmit data via electricity. Fiber wire relies on light. It does not transmit data through the flow of electrons. This enables much faster internet connection. In fact, it also enables handling of a higher bandwidth. Sometimes, even during the peak ...
