How much do you know about Cat5e Cable?
How much do you know about Cat5e Cable? Network cables like Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 are widely used in our network. Various Ethernet network cables are being invented. They can support different transmission distances and applications. Cat5e cables can support 1000base-T transmission up to 100 m, which meet the requirements of various applications in our home, office and data center. It has better performance... -
Insertion Loss vs. Return Loss: What is the difference?
Insertion Loss vs. Return Loss: What is the difference? The term loss is almost unilaterally associated with a negative in nearly every conceivable scenario. Take, for example, the loss administered to a certain NFL team (New England) by the magnificence of a certain quarterback (Lamar Jackson) from Baltimore. In this case, if you are a fan of TB 12’s team, then this is most... -
What is Insertion Loss?
What is Insertion Loss? Understand Insertion Loss Insertion loss is the amount of energy that a signal loses as it travels along with a cable link. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs for any type of transmission—whether it's electricity or data. This reduction of signal, also called attenuation, is directly related to the length of a cable—the longer the cable, the greater the... -
Fusion Splicing vs Mechanical Splicing:Fiber Optic Cables Solutions
Fusion Splicing vs Mechanical Splicing:Fiber Optic Cables Solutions Introduction to Fiber Optic Splicing During the actual operation of fiber cables, fiber optic splicing is often needed to achieve the connection between optic fibers. To be specific, fiber optic splicing is a process to combine the ends of optic fibers together. And only one end of each individual fiber is required. There are mainly two... -

Switch Power Consumption——24-port PoE Switch
Switch Power Consumption——24-port PoE Switch Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch dramatically cuts network cost while improves power efficiency – with which network managers can get simultaneous access to both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. PoE network switches come in a host of flavors, such as 8/12/24/48-port PoE switches, or unmanaged and managed PoE switch. 24-port PoE switch is considered as a... -
10GBASE-T Switch vs 10G SFP+ Switch: How to Choose?
10GBASE-T Switch vs 10G SFP+ Switch: How to Choose? 10GbE switch plays an essential role in 10G Ethernet network solutions. Generally, there are two 10GbE switch solutions for the 10GbE link: 10GBASE-T switch vs 10GB SFP+ switch. As we all know, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) can be offered in optical and copper links which may be achieved through 10GBase-T copper switches and SFP+ fiber... -
What’s Direct Attach Copper(DAC) Cable? Why choose?
What’s Direct Attach Copper(DAC) Cable? Why choose? Driven by demand for higher speed fiber cables, network cabling has gone through great changes over the years. Cat5e copper cabling and 1000BASE-T have dominated data center interconnection application for years. However, SFP cable becomes a new favorite with less cost and lower power consumption, which is a form of the high-speed cable with pluggable connectors on... -
Switch VS Router: What's the Difference?
Switch VS Router: What's the Difference? When building a small office network, the two most essential pieces of equipment you will need are switches and routers. Though they look similar, the two devices perform different functions within a network. switches and routers are computer network devices that allow one or more computers to connect to other computers, networking devices, or other networks. What is...
