Cat6 vs Cat7 vs Cat8 Cable: What’s the Difference?
“I want to install data cables for my newly-built house. However, I have no idea which cable I should choose when speaking of Cat6 vs Cat7 vs Cat8. If I use Cat8 cable, is it possible to use it with standard Cat7 connector? Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!” As we know, Ethernet cable […]
How Much Do You Know About Virtual Stack and Physical Stack?
In recent years, stack has escalated and developed from a premium feature to a core element for a Gigabit Ethernet switch. As a stack switch, it is stacked on top of the other switch and allows you to manage multiple switches as an entirety. In addition, it is well established as a stable and standards-based […]
10Gb Ethernet on Copper or Optical Fiber?
The rapid growth in data center throughput has brought about the increasing usage and demand for higher-performance servers, storage and interconnects. At present, 10 Gigabit Ethernet is highly popular with modern data center. When selecting an appropriate 10 Gigabit physical media to construct 10GbE network, two broad categories of copper and optical fiber will be […]
Understanding Two Technologies: Switch Stack vs Switch Cluster
With an increasing scale of network and the development of application technology, we intend to seek for a way to make full use of multiple switches with effective management. In general, there are mainly three technologies that we will use when we interconnect or combine several Ethernet switches together. The three technologies are switch cascade, […]
