Single Pair Ethernet Education Day - Part 2

Is spaghetti cabling a result of design, implementation, materials, change management, lack of controls - or all of them? It’s obvious that unplanned, task only and project focused approaches inevitably result in problems later on. If only there was a standard for common sense covering IT infrastructure like TIA TR-60. Join the leaders of TIA TR-60 Infrastructure Life Cycle Management framework to see and understand good ways to sustain good performance and uptime, as well as reducing the cost and risks of change. Warning, some examples may be distressing for IT professionals.

Stress Free Infrastructure and 10 Pitfalls to Avoid

Our guest presenter is Terry Rice of Epigen who is considered to be one of the leading experts in AI development, and  has been working with Nvidia for 10 years developing the next generation of conversational AI. The webinar will cover the different types of AI and capabilities, along with the current state of AI and common platforms. Terry and Jerry Bowman (TR-60 Chair) will discuss the different uses of AI in managing technology life cycles and the impact on the TR-60 standards framework.

TIA TR-60: The Role of AI In Managing Technology Life Cycles

Are you involved in installing data center fiber cabling? The FOTC and EXFO invite you to join us in exploring methods and procedures to test and certify network links to comply with the TIA-568.3E Optical Fiber Cabling and Components Standard. The session will cover crucial topics such as:

Attendees will earn a BICSI CEC.

Certifying high density data center fiber cabling to TIA-568.3E standards

With increasing use of cloud and the associated data centers needed, governments and enterprises are impacting IT to reduce energy usage and improve sustainability. In this webinar we'll be looking at current environmental issues that impact life cycle processes, with disposal and reuse being included as part of governance and project requirements.

Please note that this webinar does not qualify for BICSI CECs.

TIA TR-60.TSB Infrastructure Life Cycle Management And Environmental Issues

When planning to upgrade transmission speeds, data center network administrators must plan for far more than new hardware. In several ways, a network speed upgrade can ripple through the entire data center ecosystem. This discussion covers the considerations that planners should make when mapping out a network speed increase. It provides multiple perspectives on how a high-speed migration impacts different systems, from media to supporting hardware, pathways, airflow, cooling and others. This detailed examination of an upgrade plan covers the topics that come to mind readily as well as those you may not have thought about. 

Understanding the standards that apply to data center design are also key to successfully migrating to higher speeds. In this presentation, Valerie Maguire introduces viewers to the FOTC's new Standards Explorer database and explains how this free tool can help ensure a smooth migration. 

This seminar was first broadcast as part of Cabling Installation & Maintenance's Data Center Summit. It is sponsored by EXFO. It is not eligible for BICSI CECs.

Prepping for a High Speed Upgrade

Today more than ever we depend on access to the internet in our day to day lives. Whether we are running a business, working from a home office, or even travelling in our car we expect the internet to be available all the time. Modern high-speed communications depend on the fiber optic infrastructure. If there is a failure, we need to diagnose it rapidly and repair it efficiently. There are a variety of tools that we can use, from simple Visual Fault Locators and inspection microscopes, to sophisticated OTDR. Knowing which tool is right for your situation and knowing how to use it are essential to getting service back up and running.

Join the Fiber Optics Tech Consortium's Jim Davis (Fluke Networks) and Sean Kelly (Light Brigade) for this informative session which will help contractors, network owners, IT departments and end users to understand what tools are most appropriate to identify and resolve different problems as well as guidance on how to use them and the limitations of each. This Webinar will look at situations for both the inside and outside plant fiber.

Attendees will earn one BICSI Continuing Education Credit.

Fiber Troubleshooting: Efficient methods for fault identification and repair

Sourcing products, services and people from external providers is well established within the ICT industry, to make best use of internal resources as well as access skills and capabilities from specialists. In our webinar we'll look at the issues this creates - positive and negative for infrastructure life cycle management (ILCM). Key suppliers may cancel product ranges, cease to provide managed services, not follow contract conditions, fail to meet SLAs as part of normal life. On the other hand, suppliers have specialist skills, a wider geographic reach and resources that can’t be replicated in house. So how can ILCM help enterprises manage supply chain and logistics risks, while still taking advantage of innovative new technologies and approaches in the market place.

TIA TR-60.TSB Supply Channel and Logistics Impact On Life Cycle Management

Fiber optic cable, hardware and connectivity are now mainstay solutions for enterprise LAN networks, from the campus network, up the riser and now in the horizontal, with more and more fiber to the edge optical LAN networks being deployed. But knowing which fiber optic cable, hardware, and connectivity to choose for each application can be difficult, especially with the very many options on the market today. From outside plant cable, be it direct buried, hung aerially, or installed in ducts, to fire rated cables for indoor or indoor/outdoor applications, installed in riser or plenum spaces, in ducts, cable trays or conduits, the options for fiber types and cable jackets are many. There are also many different methods for terminated fiber optic cables, from pre-terminated options to fusion splicing to field terminated connectors, and the many different tools that are needed for each method. Finally, choosing the right hardware and enclosures can be another chore, whether they be rack or wall mounted, or put into handholes or manholes, and all the different environmental conditions that need to be considered. 

The session helps designers, contractors, and end users to logically decide on which solutions are best suited for their applications and for each specific project, discuss the pros and cons of each methodology and help educate on some of the considerations that need to be included when choosing the right fiber optic solution for enterprise LAN environments.

Choosing the Right Fiber Optic Solutions for Enterprise LAN Networks

Maintaining and evolving technology skills, as well as selective use of service partners is a key aspect of TR-60 Infrastructure Life Cycle Management. Changes to teams, roles and authority levels are inevitable with the potential to lose talent and not keep up with the skills required for long term management of ICT infrastructure. Our speakers are Jerry Bowman, TR-60 Engineering Committee Chair, David Cuthbertson, TR-60.B Subcommittee Chair, and Kelly Gambrell, CEO of K5 Construction Group and K5 Connect.

TIA TR-60.TSB Resourcing the Infrastructure, People and Skills

Ensuring optimal network performance begins with understanding the fundamental aspects of fiber inspection and maintenance. Join our upcoming webinar, "Fiber Optic Connector Inspection: Navigating the Latest IEC 61300-3-35 Standard Revisions", where we dive into the essential elements of fiber optic connector inspection and explore the latest updates in the IEC 61300-3-35 standard. Dirty connectors remain the number one cause of network problems, affecting data transmission and system reliability. This webinar aims to equip you with the knowledge needed to prevent and address these issues effectively.

The second TR-60 TSB webinar focuses on how improved life cycle management reduces management costs, operational risks and downtime. If infrastructure design and implementation are focused only on the technology working day 1, then opportunities for cost savings and operational controls are missed. If racks are too densely packed the cabling will be messy. The cabling will become a risk every time changes are made and tracing connectivity when the network is down takes longer. You may save on Day 1 and then pay for it Day 2, Day 3 and for the next 20 years. The wise decision is to design and build for change, flexibility and ease of management with TR-60 standards as a reference.
