Computer LAN & Local Area Network Backbone Wiring :: The Definition of Backbone CablingBackbone cabling may be within one building or between buildings on a campus. All wiring between telecommunication rooms is called as backbone cabling.In many cases, backbone cabling is actually between wiring closets on the same floor of a building, but the more typical case is the floor to floor wiring in a multi-floor building. Many call it vertical cabling...... Similar Editorial : by Mohit Sharma. | Source : Wireless Network Connection
Troubleshoot Optical Fiber Networks: Time Domain Reflectometer How Does an OTDR Work?In fiber optic networks, OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is an opto-electronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. OTDR is both the best known and least understood fiber optic instrument.OTDR does not measure loss, but instead implies it by looking at the backscatter signature of the fiber. It does not measure cable plant loss that can be correlated to...... Similar Editorial : by James Walsh. | Source : Wireless Network Connection
SONET & Synchronous Optical Networking- Technology Tutorial The SONET standards were developed in the mid-1980s to take advantage of low-cost transmission over optical fibers. It defines a hierarchy of data rates, formats for framing and multiplexing the payload data, as well as optical signal specifications(wavelength and dispersion), allowing multi-vendor interoperability.SONET is sometimes described as "T-1 on steroids". Why is that? As we know, the...... Source : Wireless Network Connection
An Introduction To ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) Networks The standards for ATM were first developed in the mid 1980s. The goal was to design a single networking strategy that could transport real-time video and audio as well as image files, text and email.ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) has been proposed as an enabling network technology to support broadband integrated services. It was designed to provide a single platform for the transmission of voice...... Similar Editorial : by Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933. | Source : Wireless Network Connection
