Data centers contain multiple switch layers to efficiently route data and optimize network performance, scalability, and utilization of resources. Access-layer switches move large volumes of data from servers to aggregation and core layer switches that consolidate and transmit data to and from other data cen

Fiber optic cables are essential for today's digital communications. With the ability to support superior transmission speeds over longer distances compared to copper cabling, fiber optic cables have become the de facto media for data center links and high-speed connections between spaces, buildings, cities, and

While fiber optic cabling offers superior transmission speed and distance over copper cabling, it’s also surprisingly durable. Despite being made of glass, fiber cables can last much longer than copper cables when installed correctly. However, they require careful handling and specific installation practice

Everyone knows that Category 6A twisted-pair cabling offers augmented performance over Category 6—hence the "A" for augmented. But understanding technically how Cat 6A compares to Cat 6 can help you determine which is best for your specific application needs and budget. Cat 6 Cabling Cat 6 cabling was rati
