Since twisted pair used in the data communication network, there are many types of terminology like UTP, STP, FTP etc for describing the twisted cable, these cables are used in the different environment like the high-performance data center, enterprise machine room, manufacturing facilities etc. Based on ISO/IEC 11801, there are 8 types of cables, please […]
What are OM and OS type fiber optic cables? In ANSI/TIA-568.3-D, the TIA adopted the nomenclature for fiber found in the international standard ISO/IEC 11801. The multimode fiber is prefixed with “OM” and the singlemode mode “OS”. The new designation in ANSI/TIA-568.3-D should alleviate some of the confusion associated with application support distance issues. Each […]
The broad advantages of structured cabling over point to point cabling (such as that used on top of rack configurations in a data center) are seen as: improved energy efficiency increased switch port utilization quicker system adaption greater scalability easier network expansion less maintenance and administration less expensive switches overall lower cost of ownership.
