Supply chain issues are plaguing the information communications technology industry, resulting in limited access to components and lead times at an all-time high that are hampering the ability for companies and service providers to bring services on-line quickly and efficiently. And now federal regulations to help

There is no doubt that fiber connectivity has improved over the years with advancements like superior insertion loss, better alignment, gender and polarity field changes, shutters, and smaller form factors. But despite these advancements, contaminated fiber end faces remain the #1 cause of performance issues in fi

In our last blog on using duplex and MPO connectivity together , we talked about breakout applications and the advantages of supporting multiple lower-speed connections from a single port to maximize port utilization and switch density. Breakout applications are where new small form factor duplex connectors like S

In last month’s blogs, we covered new high-density duplex connectors like Senko’s CS™ and SN™ connectors US Conec’s MDC™ and the role of MPO connectors on the road to 800 Gig and beyond. But did you know that duplex and MPO connectors can be strategically combined to support cos

Multi-fiber MPO connectors have become a mainstay in the data center, originally deployed as a space-saving and cable management solution via  trunk cables used with MPO-to-LC cassettes to simplify and speed deployment in duplex applications and ultimately becoming the connector of choice for high-speed paral

While LC duplex connectors have dominated as the interface for duplex fiber applications, there are some new smaller form-factor duplex connector designs out in the market—and they are giving the LC a run for its money in next-gen high-speed data center applications! Perhaps you've heard of Senko's CS™

              We are excited to announce that the HD8² High-Density Fiber System from Tactical Deployment Systems has been spotlighted in Cabling Installation & Maintenance magazine! Known for its superior density and exceptional performance, the HD8² System ha
