Power over Ethernet (PoE) is opening up a whole world of new possibilities thanks to its ability to transmit data and power over a single network cable. But with new possibilities come all new challenges and obstacles for adopting traditional ICT infrastructure into the non-traditional spaces where PoE thrives. In this timely webinar, we’ll discuss what the advantages of PoE really are, identifying ideal locations for PoE switches, and the best cabinets, racks and wireless mounts on the market today to accommodate new PoE gear, all the while navigating the old and new standards and guidelines being swept up in the PoE wave.

Imagine a webinar that told you everything you ever wanted to know about IT infrastructure from the data center to the edge but were afraid to ask. Ok, maybe not “afraid.” More like, “way too swamped.”
 
Considering there’s simply not enough time in the day, Chatsworth Products (CPI) has found the perfect way to distill all the technical tips we’ve learned over 30 years of designing and manufacturing problem-solving IT infrastructure equipment—put ‘em through the ringer, wring out the excess and serve up only the best of the best practices. From the basics of selecting racks, cabinets, cable management and power, to what’s really happening at the edge (and everywhere else your telecom room is headed next), we’ve seen it all and we’re ready to share.

Did you know that roughly half of the continental United States is exposed to risks of seismic hazards, with damage costs in the billions each year? Under such threat, it’s vital that networks be properly designed and maintained in order to ensure life and equipment safety as well as minimize downtime with fully operational equipment after a seismic event. This presentation will cover how seismic hazards are measured, best practices for site and network design in seismically susceptible regions, and other important considerations for proper seismic installation and site certification in order to protect and secure your full investment; including the technology and people who support it.

Course Description:

5G, or 5th generation cellular wireless networking, is not just an increase in speed over 4G LTE, it is a complete redesign of the cellular wireless network. 5G promises orders of magnitude increases in bandwidth for users and to eventually enable remote sensing for the most complex IoT applications. But first, the network needs to be updated and expanded. 5G will involve hundreds of thousands of sites, millions of users and eventually billions of things. Is your network ready?

Course Description:

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

Course Description:

Many schools, municipalities and corporations are moving to campus-wide Wi-Fi and wireless-everywhere models. Outdoor installation challenges the network designer and installer to provide the suitable infrastructure for ubiquitous Wi-Fi. Cable runs are longer and equipment must be suitably protected. For maintenance, code and aesthetics reasons, mounting equipment on the top and sides of buildings or exposed on light poles is becoming less acceptable. This presentation will discuss design challenges and describe solutions for providing high-performance Wi-Fi outdoors and in other public venues.

Course Description:

As more organizations accelerate the pace of digital transformation, the importance of properly deploying and managing the physical networks that connect manufacturing and industrial environments to the rest of the organization intensifies. Deploying networks in edge locations such as warehouses, oil fields, refineries and roadsides presents a significant difference from the environmentally controlled data center environments that IT systems administrators are used to. This course will discuss the key considerations for successful edge deployment, and the types of solutions—including NEMA-Type rated industrial enclosures—that will help more organizations meet this rising demand.

Unprecedented times have intensified the need for remote management and control of your data center. But, this isn’t the first—and it won’t be the last time—we face unique situations that shed light on the complexity of our reliance on technology.  Looking to the future, unique time of our present becomes part of our past, the complexity of hybrid networks across multiple facilities and the need for connectivity everywhere demands that we seek new ways to remotely monitor, control, secure and optimize the equipment in our data centers.

Optimizing Energy Efficiency in Data Centers Utilizing Containment Strategies
Credit Value: 1 LU/HSW
Course Description:

In response to steadily growing demands for more and more storage capacity and the costs and energy required to implement that storage, data center design is now focusing on solutions that conserve energy, materials, money, and space. This course explores the current influences that directly or indirectly affect energy usage and management, the resulting trends in data center development, and how containment strategies enable designers to optimize energy efficiency and create facilities with minimal environmental footprints.

Energy Efficiency in Data Centers: The Importance of Airflow Management and Monitoring
Credit Value: 1 LU/HSW
Course Description:

Data centers, some consuming up to 200X the energy of comparably sized office space, are rapidly evolving in numbers, size, location, and energy demands. These facilities are frequently becoming integrated into other buildings and the purview of the architect.

After an American Society for Healthcare Engineering survey found that 89 percent of hospital facility professionals consider withstanding natural disasters and power outages as one of the most critical components in the design of new healthcare facilities, the TIA-1179-A standard is more important than ever in the planning and installation of structured cabling systems for healthcare facilities and buildings. With these considerations in mind, this presentation explores the TIA 1179-A requirements around cabling topologies, distances, pathways and splices, as well as the entrance facilities, equipment and telecommunications rooms and enclosures and grounding and bonding best practices needed to address these challenges.

Safe, Secure, Stable: What Makes Mission Critical Edge Networks Unique
Credit Value: 1 LU/HSW
Course Description:

The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 require additional telecom, data and computing services closer to the end user to minimize latency, risk and cost. These edge networks are being deployed everywhere new and existing networks need to be, including warehouses, manufacturing floors, and even more remote outdoor locations, as well as increasing numbers of public spaces such as large campuses, stadiums, healthcare facilities and more. And as networks extend into new spaces, the need to properly secure and protect sensitive IT equipment increases, as do the challenges that come with it. That means ensuring adequate safety and security measures with regards to equipment access, proper grounding and bonding techniques to prevent electrocution, and proper enclosure protections that shield mission-critical equipment from harmful chemicals, water, dust and dirt—which helps ensure network uptime and redundancy that’s crucial to keeping health care and city services up and running.
