Density and speed are the predominant drivers of data center network design, implementation, and administration. Everything from fiber types and capabilities, cable constructions, and connectivity technologies to power management, pathway and space planning, and upgrade paths come down to the density of network connections and the throughput that applications require. Contribute to this webinar as a sponsor/speaker to deliver solid technical guidance on the trends that are driving evolution in your area(s) of expertise.

More and more building systems are being digitized, and data about their functions are being used to maximize their operational efficiency. In many cases, the networked nodes within these systems also are receiving DC power via the same twisted pair cabling that carries the data they generate. These scenarios are relatively new additions to the long list of applications that depend on the versatility and reliability of twisted-pair cabling systems. Take part in this webinar as a sponsor/speaker, and an authority on the current uses of twisted pair copper cabling systems in networks of all types.

While artificial intelligence promises to change the working world eventually on a number of levels, the foundational, physical-layer support required for AI networks is changing the game today for specifiers, designers, and installers in the ICT industry. GPU-based AI networks completing training and inference processes are demanding low-latency data transmission at 800-Gbits and 1.6  Tbits/sec. These unprecedented requirements have requiredbetter-than ever performance from every component andsystem in an AI network. Byparticipating as a sponsor/speaker in this webinar, you’ll have the opportunity to educate an audience of ICT design and installation professionals, along with data center and enterprise-network managers, about how they can succeed in navigating AI network demands. Whether your focus is optical cabling, cable management/pathways, cooling, power delivery, intelligent infrastructure management, or any other associated with an AI network, this webinar provides you a platform on which to position your company as an expert in the field of AI infrastructure—a topic on which much of our audience is beginning to navigate the learning curve.

Enterprise and campus networks face the practical reality of connecting network devices that are long distances from the nearest telecom room (TR). For many of these links, using twisted-pair cabling is economically attractive and technically feasible, but the industry-standard-induced 100-meter distance limitation for twisted pair links can throw a wrench into the works. This webinar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, will deliver real-world answers for the many ICT professionals who have told us they are looking for solutions to this challenge. Claim your spot in this webinar as a speaker/sponsor, for the opportunity to deliver technically valid information that gives network owners as well as cabling system installers and designers real-world tools and knowledge to solve this widespread challenge.

Providing high-speed network infrastructure to multi-dwelling unit (MDU) properties requires specialized technologies that can differ from those used in typical enterprise networks. In these environments, the physical layouts of units as well as user needs often dictate unique processes and systems. This web seminar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, will provide a holistic overview of the services often required in MDUs, the delivery of connectivity from the public network to the private network, the provision of high-bandwidth capabilities to each unit, and the physical connectivity requirements within the property. Participate in this seminar as a sponsor/speaker to enlighten our audience with your organization’s expertise in networking within MDUs.

Recent analysis from Crehan Research projects that 800-Gbit Ethernet switches will enjoy the quickest uptake within data centers of any Ethernet speed in history. With such rapid growth predicted, data center network planners are well-served by planning now for their forthcoming high- speed upgrades. What types of physical layer infrastructure will support 400 or 800 Gbits/sec? Is singlemode fiber the only option, or is multimode worthy of consideration? What kind of architecture will facilitate speed increases as well as growth in the number of nodes connected? How will pathways and spaces be affected? Does there reach a point at which direct attach is no longer a practical approach? With so many questions, data center network managers rely on expertise from trusted partners like you, to guide them through the planning and ultimate implementation of such high-speed networks. Sponsor this web seminar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, for the opportunity to educate a knowledge-hungry audience about the best practices they can implement to prepare for such critical transitions.

The essential task of bonding a local area network’s telecommunications equipment to earth (ground) consistently challenges network owners. A fundamental look at the basics of bonding and grounding, combined with an update on newly established approaches or best practices, is always beneficial. This web seminar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, will deliver this technical information to an audience that will eagerly consume it. Discussing the importance of proper bonding/grounding, essential how-to information, and referencing relevant documents such as ANSI/TIA-607-E, this seminar provides you the opportunity to position your company as an expert on this challenging topic.

As Power over Ethernet (PoE) has evolved, the number and types of network devices powered by PoE have significantly expanded. Within buildings and across campuses, PoE is a universal powering technology, deployed around the world. Successive iterations of PoE have increased the amount of power (in wattage) that can be delivered to network devices. At the same time, environments like campuses often include PoE circuits that exceed the typical 100-meter link length. These increases have influenced the products, solutions, and best practices users put in place to support PoE—including cable type and performance, cable-support systems (trays, non-continuous support systems), testing and test instruments, cable-bundling practices, and more. This webinar will assess the current state of PoE technology, focusing on the products, systems, and practices that can ensure users optimize their PoE deployments.

In data center networks, the steadily increasing requirement for high-speed data transmission creates demand for higher numbers of fiber-optic connections. Within and between these data center facilities, square footage is a highly coveted and pricey commodity. To maximize efficiency, data center operators must achieve higher numbers of optical connections without increasing the space that houses these connections. Today’s ultra-high-density cables offer a solution to this challenge, by significantly increasing the number of fibers contained within a given cable diameter. With this solution come a new set of potential challenges, including termination practices and fiber management. This webinar describes the benefits and advantages of the latest high-density fiber-optic cables, while also addressing the real-world practicalities of handling, installing, and managing these cables.
