Top 6 things you need to consider before choosing the Category 6A or Class EA cable

Cable Size and Cable Weight: Controlling noise and crosstalk at higher frequencies has required Category 6A cables up to 50% larger than their Category 6 predecessors. While many available Category 6A options remain significantly larger and heavier, the newest Category 6A cables are only about 15% larger than Category 6. Installation Complexity Most Category 6A […]

Best Practices for Managing the Cabling During Cable Instllation

Do not placing the multiple bundles or over-bunding the cables, it might increase the loss of the cable, or damage the jacekt. Avoid over bending the fiber cable, it is not copper cable, and considering to use bending insensitive cable to avoide bending loss Avoid mounting cabling components in locations that block access to other […]

Passive Network TAP for 40G/100G Data Center

OTAP splitters (MTP/MPO interface) are hardware tools that allow you to monitor your network. The Optical TAP with 50:50, 60:40 or with a customized splitting ratio, which could 100% copy your network data to the monitoring site. The Fiber TAPs are passive (non-powered), that will not cause the live network devices to lose the link […]

Do you know the typical component types needed for optical cabling infrastructure in data center

As networking equipment becomes denser and port counts in the data center increase to hundreds and thousands of ports, managing cables connected to these devices become a difficult challenge. Traditionally, connecting cables directly to individual ports on low port-count equipment was considered manageable. Applying the same principles to high port-count equipment made the task more […]

DON’TS for AOC Active Optic Cables

This DON’TS is especially for those engineers used to focus on copper structured cabling. Do not twist the AOC cables, it is not like copper cable Do not pull the AOC cables, each cable with a pulling force requirement Do not staple the cables. Do not uncoil the cable, as a kink might occur. if […]

Do you know polarity for MPO Adapter and MTP Adaptor?

Multi-fiber connectors contain “keys” which maintain defined fiber polarity when the connectors are mated together. MPO / MTP® adapters contain an asymmetrical housing including an inverted key to achieve the appropriate fiber polarity. On Type A adapters, the keys are inverted to ensure that the fiber at position 1 is connected to position 1 in […]
