Busting myths about power-over-ethernet

17 June, 2009

As more powered devices are being connected over ethernet, the case for power-over-ethernet gets stronger. However, as US-based power adapter manufacturer Phihong points out, a number of inaccurate assumptions exist in the market that need to be qualified.


Category 7A cabling system

03 February, 2009

The LANmark-7A shielded cabling solution has been developed to meet the predicted demand for 40 Gbps data applications from data centres and users planning to provide ‘video on demand’ services. Its release follows the recent ratification of international standards for new copper class category 7A standard (1000 MHz) designed for 40 Gbps applications.


Data wall plate

03 February, 2009

The CopperTen 3-port Faceplate has been specifically designed to meet the performance requirements of 10 Gb ethernet applications, by spacing the outlets sufficiently distant from each other to minimise the impact of alien crosstalk at the outlet.
