Optical fiber cables have become one of the key points in the 5G competition. It’s known that 5G networks will offer consumers high-speed and low-latency services with more reliable and stronger connections. But to make this happen, more 5G base stations have to be built due to the higher 5G frequency band and limited network […]

Why Is Data Center Security Important in the Cloud?
Digital transformation, characterized by rapid digitization and the shift to the cloud, is increasingly becoming popular across industries. And while this comes with several benefits such as cost optimization, scalability, and increased efficiency, it does pose several cybersecurity risks. Fortunately, several cloud service providers offer high-end security measures to keep their clients’ data safe from […]
DWDM Mux/Demux Overview-Working Principle and Different Types
DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is a combination of a set of optical wavelengths that can be transmitted with one fiber. This is a laser technology used to increase bandwidth on existing fiber-optic backbones. It enables optical fiber networks to transmit signals of several wavelengths simultaneously. In DWDM system, Mux/Demux are two indispensable components. How […]
Internet Cable vs LAN Cable
In the networking world, Internet cable and LAN cable are the two frequently used terms. They are cables used to connect networking devices like computers, network switches or routers for transferring data. These cables are essentially the carrier or media through which data flows. So are they the same things? Here focuses on Internet cable […]
RJ45 Cat5e cable, How to Crimp It?
When running network patch cable through a home, it’s more cost-effective to use bulk cable and terminate the ends by yourselves. Because this offers users the flexibility to cut out a required length, whether very short or very long. On the other hand, if one needs to route 50ft Ethernet cable upstairs through a closet […]
Plenum Cable vs Non-plenum Cable, Which to Choose?
When building a copper cabling system for office or home, one constant that seems to be always taken into consideration is plenum cable vs non-plenum cable, which one does the project actually need? Plenum and non-plenum refer to the jacket that surrounds the cable, which is defined by NEC (National Electric Code) aiming at preventing […]
