Copper cabling is slowly giving way to fiber in communications, but there are still many areas where it dominates. But for how long, asks CommScope's James Young
Google and Facebook are changing the game in submarine cables
Single-mode fiber offers superior longevity, distance and upgradeability, while costs have dropped dramatically in recent years
Which is most cost effective for you?
With faster processors in use, it's time to speed up connectivity. 800Gbps can't get here too soon!
5G means more data, and that means you need more fiber
Smaller cities need to have redundant peering before their Edge markets can take off
Before you light up a new fiber path, make sure it is up to the job
Understanding complex cable connectivity is crucial to the overall installation and your project’s success
It will continue to be a challenge in the industry to develop products that can scale effectively to reach the required fiber counts while not overwhelming existing duct and inside plant environments
Private optical networking is helping organizations reap the benefits of colocation
Selecting the right type and quantity of equipment is vitally important for ensuring profitable, flexible data cable installation operations
Look out for the arrival of 5G and continued issues around security
Fiber networks are getting more future-proof, thanks to new signal processing and better cabling systems
You can’t beat the speed of light, but the right optical network design and component selection will get you pretty close
Single mode fiber really will change data centers, and the benefits aren’t just in the increased speed
Although Base-12 connectivity will continue to have its place in the data center, forward looking data centers will increasingly adopt Base-8 technology
