Summary
Enterprise and campus networks face the practical reality of connecting network devices that are long distances from the nearest telecom room (TR). For many of these links, using twisted-pair cabling is economically attractive and technically feasible, but the industry-standard-induced 100-meter distance limitation for twisted-pair links can throw a wrench into the works.
This webinar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, will deliver real-world answers for the many ICT professionals who are looking for solutions to this challenge. Covering media options (copper, fiber, hybrid cables) as well as network-architecture options, this seminar also will address how users can deliver direct-current (DC) power to network devices at the ends of these lengthy links.
