The section just below the blue area on your report shows the wire map test and a boxed-out area with critical values for the cable under test. These include the length (displayed in feet or meters depending on what the user selected), propagation delay, delay skew, resistance and insertion loss margin.
The detail of the insertion loss margin can be seen in the insertion loss graph to the right, and it includes the margin based on the worst pair, at what frequency and the test limit for that frequency.
Technological Standard Created for Control and Sensor Networks

Device-to-Device networks
CERN is the home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27km circular proton accelerator generating tens of petabytes of new data every year. Data is stored and processed using a large amount of resources totaling over 250.000 cores and 1000s of storage servers, managed by OpenStack.
Networking is a critical part of our infrastructure and arguably the hardest to evolve. Given the size of CERN’s infrastructure, its flat network is partitioned in segments each representing a separate broadcast domain and potentially offering different levels of service. This fragmentation improves scalability and reduces the impact of misbehaving systems in the datacentre to individual segments. On the other hand, having multiple broadcast domains means features like floating and virtual IPs are much harder to offer.
We will tell the story of OpenStack Networking at CERN. First integration with Nova Network, the migration to Neutron and how we're adding SDN in our infrastructure.

Meshing OpenStack and Bare Metal Networks with EVPN - David Iles, Mellanox Te...OpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
The latest SDN revolution is centered on creating efficient virtualized data center networks using VXLAN & EVPN. We will talk about the scale, performance, and cost advantages of using a modern controller-free virtualized network solution built on 100 Gigabit Ethernet switches with hardware based VXLAN Routing. We will explore the ease of automating such a network in an OpenStack environment and take you through a real world use case of using OpenStack Network Node bridging between a bare metal cloud (EVPN) and a fully virtualized cloud environments (orchestrated by Neutron).
Speaker Bio:
David has held leadership roles at 3COM, Cisco Systems, Nortel Networks, and IBM where he promoted advanced network technologies including High Speed Ethernet, Layer 4-7 switching, Virtual Machine-aware networking, and Software Defined Networking.
David’s current focus is on the evolving landscape of data center networking, scale out storage, Open Networking, and cloud computing.
Spend some time working with OpenAPI and gRPC and you’ll notice that these two technologies have a lot in common. Both are open source efforts, both describe APIs, and both promise better experiences for API producers and consumers. So why do we need both? If we do, what value does each provide? What can each project learn from the other? We’ll bring the two together for a side-by-side comparison and pose answers to these and other questions about two API methodologies that will do much to influence the future of networked APIs.

Powerful business model for fixed wireless data using outdoor antennas - PaperAndre Fourie
Paper presented at the 2nd Africa Radio Comms Conference in Johannesburg - Nov 2015
By Andre Fourie
The revenue that can be generated by an LTE base station is influenced by the quality of the signal received by the customer premise equipment (CPE). Most CPE come with omni-directional indoor antennas, but have provision for the connection to external antennas.
Substituting the indoor antennas for directional outdoor antennas has a marked effect on the data transfer speeds of the network. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, outdoor antennas are physically larger than their indoor counterparts and thus have a higher gain. The increase in antenna gain translates directly to an increase in received signal strength. The second advantage is that the outdoor antenna sits in an environment that has much better propagating properties than the indoor antenna. Tests have shown that data speeds 3-5 times faster are possible using external antennas compared to indoor antennas.
It is shown, using a primitive financial model that fairly large financial gains can be made by equipping CPE devices with external antennas.
ANALYSIS OF ASYMMETRICAL FAULTS IN 220/400 KV LINES USING FFTAM Publications
An electrical power system comprises of generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy. Transmission lines are used
to transmit electric power to distant large load centers. The rapid growth of electric power systems over the past few decades has
resulted in a large increase of the number of lines in operation and their total length. These lines are exposed to faults as a result of
lightning, short circuits, faulty equipment, mal-operation, human errors, overload, and aging. Many electrical faults manifest in
mechanical damages, which must be repaired before returning the line to service. The restoration can be expedited if the fault
location is either known or can be estimated with a reasonable accuracy. Faults cause short to long term power outages for
customers and may lead to significant losses especially for the manufacturing industry. Fast detecting, isolating, locating and
repairing of these faults are critical in maintaining a reliable power system operation. When a fault occurs on a transmission line,
the voltage at the point of fault suddenly reduces to a low value.

The standards review board of the Institute of Elec
trical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved the
standard for 10 Gigabit/sec Ethernet over twisted
pair copper cabling (10GBASE-T) on June 8, 2006.
This Whitepaper provides an overview of the methods to
measure and certify the performance of the installed
cabling system for compliance with the requirements
of 10GBASE-T, as well as with the draft specifications
of Augmented Cat 6 (Cat 6A) or Augmented Class E (Class EA).
ISO/IEC 14763-3 edition 2 was published in 2014. This standard supports the implementation and operation of customer premises cabling by specifying systems and methods for inspecting and testing optical fiber cabling. In 2015, a corrigendum was published. Currently, an amendment is under review to make further corrections. Also, a supplement to the amendment was added.
The corrigendum made changes to connecting hardware attenuation values and modified the equations for test limits. The amendment made corrections to end face inspection, test methods, and uncertainty. The supplement to the amendment fixed errors within the uncertainties. Details of the changes are described herein.
Standards update the four a’s of harmonizationsmithponting
When TIA adopts an IEC standard, or vice versa, it quite literally means that they take on and follow the standard. For example, TIA adopted the IEC 61280-4-1 multimode fiber optic testing standards as TIA-526-14-C. Because TIA has an outdated singlemode fiber optic testing standard, they are also considering the adoption of IEC 61280-4-2. If they do, it will be published as TIA-526-7.
Standard update 25 gbase t joins the party!smithponting
Since the development of 40GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bq) began a few years ago, most of us believed that the next Ethernet data center speed for twisted-pair copper cabling beyond 10 Gb/s would be 40 Gb/s.
But in November 2014, IEEE 802.3 put out a call for interest on 25GBASE-T, driven by the likes of Cisco, Microsoft and Intel who recognized 25 Gb/s as a more efficient, cost-effective option for switch-to-server speeds in cloud-based data centers. Hence the 25GBASE-T IEEE study group was formed.
Standard update 25 gbase t joins the party!smithponting
With representatives from 25 companies overwhelmingly pledging support for the formation of the 25GBASE-T study group, the likes of Microsoft, Cisco and Intel driving the party bus, and a demonstrated broad market potential, 25GBASE-T is definitely a welcomed partygoer.
Why is 25GBASE-T considered a more cost-effective step in the migration to 40GBASE-T? Not only does it support the backwards compatibility of BASE-T technology and enable equipment vendors to limit the power per port to under 3W, it can also leverage existing transceiver technology to establish a fixed migration path to 40GBASE-T over the same 30-meter channel.
Benefits of fiber optic and passive optical lan testsmithponting
Passive optical LANs are a point-to-multipoint fiber architecture that use passive optical splitters to divide the signal from one singlemode fiber into multiple fiber signals. The signals are transmitted simultaneously in both directions over separate wavelengths using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology—1310nm for upstream data and 1490nm for downstream data.
By increasing the level of noise within the channel, alien crosstalk decreases signal-to-noise ratio and degrades the bandwidth capabilities of the cable, potentially preventing the cable from supporting 10 Gig transmission. This is precisely why standards bodies like TIA and BICSI, as well as most cable manufacturers, recommend letting cables have a “natural lay” in pathways and conduit. But even with this recommendation, there are still some customers that require cables to be combined in neat bundles. There are even tools available for quickly and efficiently straightening, combing and organizing cables into multiple bundles with ease.
Beat the heat with versiv™ cool featuressmithponting
San Diego hit its highest ever recorded temperature this summer, the Southwest experienced what meteorologists have dubbed the “great 2017 heat wave,” and even New Jersey’s Newark airport broke its 1973 record with a sweltering 97 degrees. Unfortunately, experts predict that the expanse of hotter-than-average temperatures will continue to grow in August—from the West coast through the Plains and into parts of the Midwest and Southeast.
By now you’ve probably heard of 8-fiber MPO plug and play solutions available on the market, which are ideal for Gigabit (40GBASE-SR4) and 100 Gigabit (100GBASESR4) applications that use 8 fibers with 4 transmitting and 4 receiving at either 10 or 25 Gb/s. Unlike 12-fiber MPO solutions where 4 of the 12 fibers go unused, 8-fiber MPO solutions offer 100% fiber utilization in these applications. But did you know that when looking ahead to future fiber applications, 8-fiber MPO solutions continue to make the most sense? That’s because all future duplex, parallel optic and WDM-based fiber applications are divisible by either 2 or 8 fibers – not 12.
A closer look at 40 gig duplex multimode applicationssmithponting
There’s been a lot of talk in the industry surrounding solutions capable of running 40 Gig Ethernet over duplex multimode fiber—especially with OM5 wideband multimode fiber (WBMMF) now recognized within industry standards that specifies wavelengths between 840 and 953 nanometers to support wave division multiplexing (WDM).
How high speed fiber applications is impacting the networking arenasmithponting
In last week’s blog, we took a Closer Look at 40 Gig Duplex Multimode Applications, just one of the many ways that today’s data centers are cost-effectively achieving increased bandwidth in switch-to-switch fiber links. And when we say many ways, we literally mean many.
If you take a look at network application standards for balanced twisted-pair cable, there’s not that many to be concerned with. Sure, we had a methodical shift from 10BASE-T, to 100BASE-T, to 1000BASE-T, to 10GBASE-T that then jumped back to 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T to accommodate new technologies over the installed base and then forward again to the upcoming 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T standards, but all of this is nothing compared to fiber. And unlike fiber, there are few, if any, non-standard ways of deploying copper cabling.

Six reasons certification is essential white papersmithponting
Economic turmoil is shining a bright light on the
value of services used by IT departments. Among
them are the services used to deploy and maintain
enterprise network infrastructure. Infrastructure
includes copper and fiber cabling, and it is the
foundation of the network. This white paper identifies the
specific benefits afforded by cable certification and
how much it pays back to the network owner.
Certification vs. qualification a closer looksmithponting
Used primarily by commercial contactors and network technicians, certification testing determines if a link is compliant with a specific category or Class of cable as determined by well-defined parameters outlined in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 or ISO/IEC standard 11801 (ed. 2). For instance, certification testing will determine if your link is compliant with Category 6 or Class EA standards.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The section just below the blue area on your
report shows the wire map test and a boxed-out area
with critical values for the cable under test. These
include the length (displayed in feet or meters
depending on what the user selected), propagation
delay, delay skew, resistance and insertion loss margin.
The detail of the insertion loss margin can be
seen in the insertion loss graph to the right, and it
includes the margin based on the worst pair, at what
frequency and the test limit for that frequency.
For example, this report shows that the worst
case margin for insertion loss occurred on Pair 7-8 at a
frequency of 468 MHz with a margin of 44.4 dB below
the limit of 47.6 dB--not too shabby but not surprising
for a short 14 ft. cable length.

Regardless of the parameter, the test report shows the worst case
margin and values for both the main test unit (MAIN) and the smart remote
unit (SR). But what is the difference?
Worst case margin is based on where the value came the closest to
the limit line, which is what you should be most concerned about. Worst
case value is the amount of margin at the point where the value was the
worst overall but not in relation to the limit line. And because the tester
looks for worst case margin and worst case value for all pairs and pair
combinations, the worst case margin and worst case value might not be on
the same pair. They can however be the same value on the same pair.
This report shows that the worst case NEXT margin for the main
unit of 7 dB occurred between Pairs 1-2 and 7-8 at 498 MHz, while the
worst case margin for the remote unit of 7.3 dB occurred at 220.5 MHz.
Both of these can be seen in the graphical representation as the location

Worst Case Margin vs. Worst Case Value
6. Cable Testing 101: How to Read the LinkWare™ PC Report?
27-11-2017 6
When a cable fails (and at some point it will), you'll see the
distinguishable big red X in the top right corner of the LinkWare™ PC cable
test management software and a test summary of FAIL. Thankfully, the
report also tells you why--also in red so you don't miss it.
This report here clearly shows in red that the test failed for length
limit, coming in at 364 ft instead of the 295-ft limit (this tester was set to
feet instead of meters). It also shows failure for propagation delay and
insertion loss (likely due to the excessive length).
Now that you know how to read your LinkWare reports, why not
take advantage of LinkWare Live service that lets you upload test results
from any location. It takes just a few minutes to set up, and it's free!
