In another edition of CABLE Talk JT explains the importance of core alignment and what happens if cores are not matched. The twist in this edition is JT becomes VERY wet when his example of misaligned fiber cores gets a bit out of control.
This is a funny edition of CABLE Talk you won’t want to miss or for that matter share!
Microsoft Visio is an easy to use yet powerful tool for cabling infrastructure design.
For years it has been the “go to” program for data center structured cabling design. It has gained popularity in recent years due to the importance, and need for a cabling TIA-942 cabling design. CABLExpress offers Visio stencils of the extensive data center structured cabling products like the H-Series fiber enclosures, RSD fiber enclosures and copper trunking panels.
Since the TIA 942 calls out for modular scalable products, the stencils meet that criteria. All parts that interoperate in real life are able to do so in the stencils. This allows the user to have a visual design that is more time effective and can help reduce errors in RFQ’s due to its visual nature. If you would like to download these stencils for free click here
In this edition of CABLE Talk JT goes over the Skinny-Trunk Harness and Z-Mount bracket’s features and benefits in cabling up large Cisco and Brocade switches with high performance fiber in a structured cabling data centers.
This CABLE Talk is a good follow on to Episode #11 where he did a time laps demonstration of how to apply the solution in the field.
In the world of digital communication, full-duplex means that a system or circuit is capable of both transmitting and receiving data at the same time. In contrast, half-duplex means that communication can only go in one direction at a time.
A good analogy is comparing telephones to walkie-talkies; phones are full-duplex, and walkie-talkies are half-duplex.
RoHS is an environmental protection regulation that has been enacted by the countries of the European Union and widely referred by to by other countries. The regulation prohibits the use of certain toxic chemicals in the manufacture of electrical and electronic devices. Tiny amounts of lead, mercury, cadmium, and other chemicals have been used in the past to build circuit boards and other electronic components.
Now, manufacturers are switching to greener, less dangerous materials and processes in order to comply with the new regulation. CABLExpress is vigilant to make sure that our products adhere to the RoHS standards.
In what is both an informative and interesting special edition of Cable Talk. Josh Taylor Sr. Product Manager uses the Skinny-Trunk™ harnesses and Z-Mount brackets to cable up (3) 48 port 10G blades on the Cisco 7000.
This unique solution allows you to manage the density of cables in an attractive, highly manageable and time saving way. Check it out I think you will be impressed.
The LC connector is a Small Form Factor (SFF) connector for fiber optic cables.
Developed by Lucent (LC stands for Lucent Connector), it has gained wide acceptance by manufacturers of 10 / 100 Gigabit optical transceivers. LC connectors have a squarish shape, and are usually held together in a duplex configuration by a plastic clip.
An S-video signal is made up of two parts—luminance and chrominance.
The luminance signal (usually abbreviated as “Y”) carries greyscale brightness information, which is basically black-and-white video.
The chrominance signal (abbreviated as “C”), carries color detail information.
Because the two lines are separate, more bandwidth is available and S-video provides a better picture than composite video, where all information is carried on one conductor.
