Understanding Addressing Modes in Networking: Unicast, Broadcast, Multicast and Anycast As a professional in the field of computer networking, it’s essential to understand the different addressing modes that enable efficient communication between devices. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of Unicast, Broadcast, Multicast, and Anycast, exploring their definitions, advantages, and disadvantages. Unicast: the […]

  Future-oriented solutions for LAN cabling With the introduction of WiFi 6/7 and 5G indoor Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), the demands on network speed increase considerably. Conventional cabling systems such as Category 6A , which were previously sufficient, are reaching their capacity limits. The industry is therefore faced with the challenge of implementing modern and […]

What is Modular Plug Terminated Link (MPTL)? A modular plug terminated link (MPTL) is a permanent link without the installation of any outlet or any patch cord, and the horizontal cable in an MPTL connects directly to the end device. Previously, the TIA-568-C.2 required that horizontal cable be terminated on a telecommunications outlet to provide […]

Exploring the Relationship Between Latency, Throughput, and Bandwidth: Key Influencing Factors. Latency vs. Throughput: Even with high bandwidth, high latency can reduce throughput because the delay affects how quickly data packets can be sent and acknowledged. For example, in a high-latency network, the throughput might be lower than the bandwidth due to the time it […]

What are the types of SFP? Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules can vary based on their intended use. Common types include: 1. SX (Short-Range): Supports short distances, typically using multimode fiber. 2. LX (Long-Range): Designed for longer distances, often used with single-mode fiber. 3. BX (Bi-directional): Sends and receives signals on a single fiber strand, […]

HTTP (#Hypertext #Transfer #Protocol) and HTTPS (#Hypertext #Transfer #Protocol #Secure) HTTP (#Hypertext #Transfer #Protocol) and HTTPS (#Hypertext #Transfer #Protocol #Secure) are both protocols used for transmitting data over the web, but they have some key differences: 1. #Security #HTTP: The data sent over HTTP is not encrypted, making it vulnerable to interception and eavesdropping by […]

Fluke Test Meaning – Patch Cord, Channel and Permanent Link Testing Defined 1️⃣ Patch Cord Testing: Patch cord testing is a method to measure the performance of the network patch cords themselves, thus it has the highest level of requirements for the cable performance. A network patch cable passing the patch cord testing usually has […]

Type of LANs ——-> SOHO LANs One of the most common local-area deployments is the Small-Office / Home-Office LAN (SOHO). It is a small computer network usually built of one Ethernet switch, one router, and one wireless access point. The LAN uses Ethernet cables to connect different end-devices to one of the switch ports. Disclaimer […]
