Specifying Cables and Connectors for Industrial Ethernet/IP Networks

Tags:
ethernet

Overview This white paper is arranged to help the user select cabling based on the, application, the environmental conditions and mechanical requirements. It is true that any Category 5 or higher cable will support 10/100BaseT traffic. It is not true that a Category 5 cabling will provide the level of performance needed to survive long term in a harsh high noise industrial environment. One of the most important factors in selecting the correct cable is having a thorough understanding the environment where the cables will installed. The planner should already understand the application needs (ie 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s&) and will need to focus on environmental and mechanical aspects of the cabling.

The Gadget Showdown: DSL v Cable

One, armed with a huge drill, handled the cabling, easily running a line from my main cable point to a home office, another installed the necessary software on my computer. Took one week from ordering it to two engineers arriving at the arranged time.

Technologies that time forgot: 100VGAnyLan

AnyLan was cool but it was too far removed from the 802.3 Ethernet standard to justify ripping out a lot of installed base and upgrading to Category 5 structured cabling. It would, it followed, allow network managers to migrate to the cheaper...

Devil's Advocate: Talk is just more data

Ideally, we need thinner cables that can still carry large volumes of data and we need active devices with very low power requirements that can be fed along the data cables. That way, it would be much easier to build a cabling tree that drastically...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: DIY v DIFM networks

The cables were originally designed for speech signals and now transport data a thousand times faster. They will never be able to provide a significant amount of capacity compared with fixed cables. In their history they have made little impact...

Devil's Advocate: The broadband gap

With large improvements in the speed of the optical devices used to drive fibre optic cables, each cable has been able to carry much more traffic than originally anticipated. As a result, many installed fibres do not even have terminating equipment.

How Formula One takes tech to the extremes

Race trailers are due to be refitted with network cabling, telemetry racks and servers, and team laptops will all be replaced as well. Another key challenge for the team's IT department is handling the huge amounts of data generated by aerodynamic...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
