Managing EMI in Modern Installations: A Practical Guide to Shielding, Screening & Standards Compliance
Electromagnetic interference is one of the biggest hidden threats to network reliability. This session cuts through the noise with practical guidance on shielded cable types, M.I.C.E. assessments and the BS EN standards that matter. Perfect for consultants, designers and specifiers who want to get shielding right first time.
Beyond the 19 Inch Frame: What Really Matters When Choosing a DC Rack
A practical guide to choosing the right rack for modern data centre environments. Learn how dimensions, load ratings, airflow, power, cable management and standards compliance all shape performance, reliability and scalability.
Powering the Rack: A Practical Guide to PDU Types, Capacity & Redundancy
A practical guide to choosing the right PDU for any data centre rack. Learn the differences between basic and intelligent PDUs, how to size power correctly, and how monitoring, redundancy and outlet selection shape performance and resilience.
Standards and UKCA update
Discover the latest revisions of National and International Cabling Standards. Ian will delve into more details about UKCA replacing CE, including new guidance for installers in the UK as well as helping you to understand how, where and when the marking applies to products where a CE marking would typically be used.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is technology that passes electric power over twisted-pair Ethernet cable to powered devices (PD), such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones in addition to the data that cable usually carries. It enables one RJ45 cable to provide both data connection and electric power to PDs instead of having a separate cable for each. This webinar will uncover all the advantages and applications you could benefit from.
PON/POL
We talk all things PON in this webinar! Passive Optical Network (PON) is an umbrella industry term for fibre-based access networking architecture that is used in both enterprise passive optical local area network inside buildings and across campus and residential fibre-to-the-premises network that can connect a home, apartment and a business across a city.
Understanding FTTx
With increasing demand for more intensive bandwidth, communication carriers must seek to offer a matured network convergence and enable the revolution of consumer media device interaction. Hence, the advent of FTTx network is of great significance. Learn more about fibre to the x (FTTx) in this webinar, the collective term for a variety of optical fibre delivery topologies.
Smart buildings (incl. single-pair ethernet)
A smart building is one that uses technology to enable efficient and economical use of resources, while creating a safe and comfortable environment for occupants. Smart buildings may use a wide range of existing technologies and are designed or retrofitted in a way that allows for the integration of future technological developments. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, building management systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality are amongst some of the mechanisms and robotics that may be used in a smart building to control and optimise its performance.
