Multimode fiber examined in TIA FOLS seminar

OM3, OM4, bend-insensitivity and next-generation speeds will all be addressed.

A web-delivered seminar hosted by the Fiber Optics LAN Section (FOLS) of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) will closely examine multimode fiber-optic cabling. Entitled "Bend, Bandwidth or Both?" the seminar will be held live on 11 am EDT on Thursday, October 28. Presenter Ravi Yekula of Corning Optical Fiber will address the following topics.

  • Why multimode fiber remains the most cost-effective choice for enterprise networks
  • How bend-insensitive multimode fibers can help solve key concerns of enterprise network operators
  • OM4 fibers, now standardized, provide a path for extended distances for next-generation speeds
  • How future standards will use OM3 and OM4 fibers to provide low-cost solutions for enterprises

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about multimode fiber-optic cabling and have those questions addressed in a Q&A forum after the presentation.

TIA FOLS says attendees of the seminar can also earn one continuing education credit for certain BICSI credentials.

A hydraulic earth drill with a high-torque anchor handle and utility anchor adapter can significantly improve safety for anchor installation.
Enabling a one-person install, the earth drill has several advantages over manually setting drive rods or using anchor crankers.

These Tower Tech XR cooling towers use evaporative cooling to remove heat generated within the data center by IT equipment. Composite cooling towers are more compact and significantly lighter than metal towers. They arrive at a data center site pre-built.
Data center designers shouldn’t sleep on the benefits of fiberglass construction materials.
