Changing enterprise business
requirements ultimately drives network
market shift. We are entering into a
very exciting time of new applications
need and related data cable business
opportunities. emerging applications
demands higher bandwidth and these
bandwidth intensive applications
requires speed beyond 1 GB/s in existing
Local area network (Lan) infrastructures.
Data centers are required to manage
huge amounts of data traffic providing
faster connectivity to avoid congestion
and ensure that users avoid delays
in streaming and updates. network
backbone speeds in the data center are
migrating to 25, 40 and even 100 Gb/s
speeds.

cabling component standards announce
addendum on minimum requirement for
Category 8 four pair shielded balanced
twisted pair copper cabling up to two
connectors and will support up to 30
meters only. This will be addressing
need of data center cabling providing

HD BaseT: Technology enables
transmitting uncompressed full hD

4-Pair PoE:
Power of ethernet will be going to be one of the major key
business drivers for data cabling along with other new applications. Power
over ethernet is a growing ethernet application that delivers power and data over Category cabling.
The ieee 802.3bt task group is currently
developing the next-generation Power-over ethernet standard to deliver.
Accordingly enhanced horizontal Lan
cabling infrastructure required to
avoid productivity loss due to network
bottleneck. industry is moving towards Cat6a cables complaint to 500 Mhz
bandwidth and 10G speed as minimum
specification for all new enterprise Lan
horizontal cabling networks installations.
Twisted pair data cabling has been
continuously evolving addressing the physical layer network infrastructure
change need includes:
New Generation Wi-Fi:
The next-
generation ieee 802.11ac having Wave
2 devices will require data rates close
to 2 Gb/s in the immediate future, and
4 Gb/s in the next few years. For new
installations, the best viable solution

Magazine. The solid-state lighting
(SSL) project is projected to deliver
70% energy savings relative to similar
buildings that have legacy lighting
while also allowing network controls
of the lighting and data gathering via
sensors integrated in the luminaries.
Like other smart lighting systems,
it would presumably let building
occupants turn lights on and off via
computers and gadgets, which they
could also use to brighten or dim.
Philips and Cisco form global
strategic alliance to address EUR 1
billion office lighting market
. Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), the global
leader in lighting and Cisco (
NASDAQ:
CSCO), the worldwide leader in IT,
today announce a global strategic
alliance that will create new value in
energy savings, building efficiency and
employee productivity, made possible
by the internet of Things (IoT) in
modern offices.
Belden Inc.—REVConnect, which
stands for “reliable, easy-to-use, and
Versatile,” enables an installer to learn
just one process, and use just one tool,
to perform any connectorization from
Category 5e to Category 6a shielded or
unshielded jacks, as well as Category
6a field-mountable plugs. REVConnect
has been shown to support 100W
Power over ethernet devices such
as LCD monitors and pan/tilt/zoom
security cameras.
Superior Essex—Power Wise Category
5e+ 4PPoe cable was installed at
Launch Fishers, a 52,000-square-foot
building whose occupants use co-
working office space. Specifically,
10,000 feet of the 22-AWG cable were
used to connect from Cisco 3850
switches to LeD lights. PowerWise
Cat 5e+ delivers the 60W of power
necessary to support LeD lights with
98-percent power efficiency while also
supporting 1-Gbit/sec speeds.
The Smarter Enterprise Connectivity
enabling business efficiency and
resiliency through an optimized and
intelligently managed cabling and
connectivity infrastructure.
From an interconnected infrastructure
perspective, it’s an alignment with
the converged cabling connectivity
infrastructure approach that we
are seeing out in the environment
today. it’s really a convergence of
the traditional iT systems being
video, voice, and data, along with the
building systems being access and
monitoring, lighting, hV
aC systems, and so on. The whole notion is to
really converge those iP addressable
systems into one infrastructure
versus multiple infrastructures,
enabling the optimization not only
from a Capex perspective, but from
an Opex perspective as well. i
t also supports Leadership in energy and
environmental Design (LeeD)rating in
these buildings and many customers
are looking for LeeD points as they’re
designing their new buildings and
facilities.
