Networking

As network speeds accelerate into the 400G, 800G, and even 1.6T era, optical fiber continues to dominate the backbone of modern connectivity. Whether in AI data centers, telecom networks, cloud platforms, enterprise campuses, or FTTH deployments, fiber optic cabling delivers unparalleled performance in s...

Intro As data centers accelerate into the era of 400G, 800G, and even 1.6T networking, high-density multi-fiber connectors have become essential. The rapid growth of AI clusters, cloud computing, hyperscale platforms, and parallel-optics technologies requires structu...

Introduction As network applications accelerate toward hyper-connectivity in 2026—driven by Wi-Fi 7, multi-gigabit broadband, 10GBASE-T, fiber-deep networks, and 400G/800G data centers, understanding the differences between fiber optic cable, twisted pair cable, and coaxial cable has n...

Introduction As cloud computing, AI clusters, and high-performance data centers continue to scale, networks in 2026 demand unprecedented bandwidth, port density, and optical reliability. With 400G becoming mainstream and 800G/1.6T technologies accelerating adoption, fiber infrastructur...

Introduction Power over Ethernet (PoE) has reshaped modern networking by delivering both power and data through a single cable - simplifying deployments for access points, IP cameras, phones, sensors, and smart-building systems. But as enterprise devices grow more po...

Intro 10GBASE-T requires approximately 400–500 MHz of clean signal bandwidth to maintain stable 10 Gbps transmission. Cat6 (250 MHz) can only support 10G at 37–55 meters under ideal conditions and is extremely sensitive to alien crosstalk, heat, and installation qual...

Intro Ethernet cable frequency (measured in MHz) defines the usable spectrum of twisted-pair copper cabling. Higher frequency capability generally enables higher-speed Ethernet standards, but frequency alone does not determine real throughput. Modern Base-T Ethernet relies on modulatio...

Intro PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe represent three generations of computer expansion interfaces. PCI and PCI-X use parallel shared-bus architectures that cannot scale beyond a few hundred megabytes per second and degrade sharply when multiple devices share the bus. PCIe (PCI...

Intro UDIMM, RDIMM, and LRDIMM are the three primary DIMM types used in modern computing platforms, but their roles diverge sharply in server environments. UDIMMs provide low latency and low cost but limited capacity and stability. RDIMMs incorporate a register to b...

Intro RJ45 connectors (field plugs) and Keystone jacks (information modules) serve different engineering roles in structured cabling. RJ45 plugs are used to terminate patch cords and connect directly to network devices. Keystone jacks terminate permanent links inside patch panels, wall...
