January 24, 2018 in /by

Digital buildings, smart buildings, intelligent buildings, connected buildings – no matter what you name them, the sentiment is the same: A building with devices and systems that are designed to collect and share data to run as efficiently as possible without human intervention. IP-based systems – also known as networked systems – are what make […]

Single-Pair Ethernet Cabling: Four New Applications

January 22, 2018 in , , , /by

Four New Types of Single-Pair Ethernet Cabling For years, Ethernet cabling has used four twisted pairs to carry data without worrying about noise in data lines. Recent developments in IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet Working Group) and TIA TR-42(Telecommunications Cabling Systems Engineering Committee) has unveiled four standards projects which may change that; instead of four balanced twisted-pairs cabling, these standards feature a single balanced twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. Of these four, […]
