Are You Prepared for the Impact of PoE on Your Network?  

As Power over Ethernet (PoE) continues to grow, so does the demand for applications with increased power. Due to this increase in the demand for more power, an amendment to IEEE 802.3bt standard was recently published in draft form. Implementing it will require not just an upgrade of the network switch, but possibly an upgrade of your network cabling. This course will discuss considerations for selecting the appropriate cable management strategy to reduce heat buildup in existing cables, better management of cables, and cable management accessories that allow for easy installation and protection of cables, even in harsh environments—so you can better prepare for the impact of PoE on your network.

In this course, you will how integrating the data center cabinet with hardware and software into a single platform can give you visibility into your data center—and, as a result—help you make more informed decisions.

Grounding and Bonding  

Bonding and grounding systems within a building are intended to have one electrical potential. When installed, the lightning protection system should meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). While the bonding and grounding of the electrical service entrance is outside the scope of this Standard, coordination between electrical and telecommunications bonding and grounding system is essential for the proper application of this Standard. Throughout this presentation, we will give a better understanding of the requirements set forth by ANSI/TIA-607-C, Generic Telecommunications Bonding and Grounding (Earthing) for Customer Premises. This presentation will also note the changes between 607-B and 607-C.
