The COFITEL Group presents the new Brand-Rex 10GPlus range of tool-less shielded connectors to reduce termination time. Available in categories 6A and 6+, these models combine ease of use and intuitive operation with exceptional electrical performance, a result of their PCB design.

The new connectors, available in categories 6A and 6, are quick and easy to terminate, and their PCB design offers exceptional electrical performance. Thanks to their compact size, the new tool-less Snap-In connectors fit easily into standard patch panels and sockets, as well as high-density patch panels such as the Brand-Rex 48-port 1U patch panel

When building a structured fiber optic system, organizations must first define the applications that the system will support. Currently, the most common applications for data centers are 10 Gb Ethernet and 8/16 GbFC, although some data centers are already beginning to implement 40 GbE or 100 GbE.

Excel Networking Solutions presents a new mixed-use panel that allows the installation of both fiber and copper modules in a single patch panel.

R&M introduces a second Cat. 6A Connection Module. The new RJ45 connector with the designation Cat. 6A EL ("Easy" "lock") simplifies the installation of copper cabling for local data networks and supports broadband applications, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Multimedia Connect, a manufacturer of structured cabling infrastructure in both copper and fiber optics, has added a new solution to its range with the 12-cable Cat6A Trunk.

Siemon introduces a new fiber and copper combo panel. This new 1U fiber and copper combo panel allows for the combination of copper connections and fiber ports in the same cabinet mounting space, efficiently maximizing the use of available space.  

The new ednet power strips have two USB ports, allowing you to charge two mobile devices simultaneously. And yet, the main power outlet remains free, as the adapter has its own two-pin Schuko socket. The new ednet power strips also feature additional USB ports.

The new Digitus Slimline patch panels offer ample space, in half a rack unit (U), for network rack cabling. With 24 ports, the panels provide numerous connectivity options and, consequently, high storage capacity – making them ideal for IT administrators looking to optimize resource allocation and space

Excel offers a specially designed outlet for use in the 100-023 and 100-024 24-port modular blank panels. This outlet allows cables to be routed naturally to the vertical cable organizer inside a cabinet.

NVP, yet another acronym to learn in the field of infrastructure cabling... NVP is a property of copper data cabling that appears, unsurprisingly, in specification sheets and is necessary for testing, but why?

Excel Networking Solutions, a provider of fiber optic and copper cabling infrastructure, has added a new unshielded, low-profile, tool-less Category 6A Keystone jack to its product range_.This new jack has a total depth of 28 mm, allowing for multiple cable entry directions when installed in a standard-depth back box.

The new community center, named Wakefield One, is located in the Merchant Gate development in Wakefield, on a previously vacant site between the train station and the town center.
Wakefield One provides a single point of contact for various council services, all under one roof. The building was acquired through the eviction and sale of other council buildings and will reduce overall operating costs by £1 million per year, enabling the council to provide residents of Wakefield and surrounding areas with higher-quality services at a lower cost.

The components and ultimately the fiber optic links used in the installations for LAN/CAMPUS environments are based on the specifications of the ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173-1 and ANSI/EIA/TIA 568-C standards.

One area where a certain level of ignorance persists is that of containment and junction, a lack of understanding that has only become apparent in the last 12-18 months.
In fact, there are five separate aspects that affect the installation of containment:
