How an innovative fibre routing system can save you the cabling headache
Siemon Network Infrastructure Blog
by Peter Thickett
1y ago
Optical fibre has become the cabling media of choice in new data centre deployments whilst existing facilities’ fiber continues to replace copper cables. It is because fibre offers greater flexibility, scalability, and bandwidth capabilities to support the ever-increasing volume of data. At the same time, the number of optical fibre links between switches, storage area networks (SANs) and equipment continues to grow to support new data centre architectures. With the volume of fiber increasing and  … Read more The post How an innovative fibre routing system can save you the cabling headac ..read more

Is Base-16 a Good Solution for the Data Center?
Siemon Network Infrastructure Blog
by Gary Bernstein
1y ago
Base-16 is an MPO plug and play cabling system that utilizes an MPO-16 connector vs. the MPO-12 connector that is used for more commonly in Base-8 or Base-12 cabling systems. The MPO-16 connector has specifications that are defined in TIA-604-18 released in 2018 and IEC 61754-7-1 released in 2014, but the connector has seen limited market adoption. With the recent introduction and promotion of Base-16 systems by some manufacturers, the time is right to share  … Read more The post Is Base-16 a Good Solution for the Data Center? appeared first on Network Infrastructure Blog ..read more

1y ago
On September 29, 2022, ANSI released the latest revision of the ANSI/TIA-568.3-E, Optical Fiber Cabling and Components Standard.  A couple primary introductions of interest to most users will be the addition of two new connectivity (polarity) methods for array (MPO)-based duplex applications.  The revision also introduced revised guidance on pinning of connectors to better support future transition to end-to-end array systems. Prior to the release of this revision of the Standard, connectivity methods for array-based  … Read more The post ANSI/TIA-568.3-E Introduces New Polarit ..read more

Deciphering Greenhouse Gas Scopes
Siemon Network Infrastructure Blog
by Brian Duval
1y ago
While it is unlikely that anyone reading this is unaware of the general push to reduce carbon emissions as a means to limit our potential impact on climate change, the ever-evolving lexicon of emission reduction metrics, schemes, and governing bodies can be confusing. I would hardly recommend that a network infrastructure professional dedicate the requisite years of constant study to become a subject-matter expert on every backstreet and alleyway of the greenhouse gas challenge, but  … Read more The post Deciphering Greenhouse Gas Scopes appeared first on Network Infrastructure Blog ..read more

When is a puddle more than just a puddle? When it is an environmental innovation.
Siemon Network Infrastructure Blog
by Brian Duval

A puddle is more than just a puddle when it is a planned space filled with native plants that attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, provides migratory songbirds with habitat, and acts as a natural barrier that filters runoff water from a parking lot before it flows into a nearby stream. This important water conservation and biodiversity zone lives right here at Siemon HQ in Watertown, CT, USA and is just another example of our  … Read more The post When is a puddle more than just a puddle?
