Passive Optical Network: FAQ’s
What is Passive Optical Network?
Passive Optical Network (PON) is a type of fibre-optic access network. A PON reduces the amount of cabling and equipment required compared to an active optical network, where each user has a separate connection to the network hub. Generally, a PON configuration contains an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs) near end users.
How does it work?
PON uses an optical splitter to allow multiple subscribers to share a single fibre connection to the service provider's network. Furthermore, the splitter is a passive device that does not require any power.
The OLT contains a laser that sends an optical signal down the fibre to the splitter. As a result, the splitter then separates the signal into multiple signals, each of which is sent to a different ONU or ONT.
The ONU or ONT converts the optical signal back into an electrical signal that can be used by the customer's equipment.

Alternating Current or Direct Current
Which is better alternating current or direct current?
We've all heard the terms AC and DC current but what's the difference and which is better?
Electricity is a powerful form of energy that can be dangerous if not treated with respect. In order to keep you safe and help you understand electricity better, we're going to look at both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
What is difference between AC and DC current?
AC and DC are two different categories of electricity. AC is when the electricity alternates between positive and negative, while DC is when the electricity flows in only one direction.
Which one is safer? Well, that depends on who you ask. Some people say that AC is more dangerous because the voltage can be much higher than DC, while others say that DC can be more dangerous because it can cause more electrical shocks.
In the end, it's important to remember that both AC and DC can be dangerous if not handled properly. So always use caution when working with electricity, and if you're ever unsure about something, don't hesitate to ask for help.
What is Alternating Current?
Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that systematically reverses direction. It is produced by a generator, and it is the type of current used in homes and businesses.
There are many benefits of using AC over other types of currents. Some of these benefits include:
1. It can be transmitted over long distances without losing too much power
2. It is relatively cheap to produce
3. It can be used to power a wide variety of devices
AC has been around for well over a century, and it is still the most popular type of current in the world. If you're looking for an efficient, reliable way to power your home or business, then AC is the way to go.

What Does a Data Centre Do?
A Data Centre is a facility that houses network computers, storage systems and computing infrastructure.
We live in the age of big data, where the sheer volume of data processed on a day-to-day basis dwarfs anything that businesses have been involved with in the past. As a result, this 'big data' needs to be handled correctly.
It is, after all, crucial that you can analyse all of your data, at all times. Establishing such efficient data handling will not only allow your business to remain productive, but also provide an edge over your competition. And the best way to handle this data is with a data centre.
What is a Data Centre?
It's important that your IT infrastructure is equipped to handle and process your data. The demands of the modern age mean that you constantly need your data to be available. Traditional solutions, such as hard drives and physical storage mediums, simply aren't able to cope with the amount of data being processed in the 21st century. And it was this problem which led to the development of data centres.
A data centre is, in its simplest form, a facility used to centralise an organisation's IT infrastructure and provide data storage. Generally, this setup enhances a company's ability to maintain data continuity. In addition, it provides backup power support and deliver an environment which ensures IT equipment runs at its optimum efficiency. These data centres can be based onsite or remotely through a number of different options.
What Types of Data Centres Are There?
Every business is unique and, accordingly, has different needs when it comes to IT and data processing. Therefore, a number of different data centre models have evolved as IT has advanced. The four main types of data centre are:
1. Enterprise:
One of the most common data centres, enterprise solutions are based on-site; it's a type of data centre which provides a wide range of benefits to the end user. Performance is enhanced as the equipment is located so close to the business. Scalability can easily be analysed and implemented whilst security is high as the owner can directly monitor the data centre.
2. Colocation Facilities:
These data solutions are provided by external businesses who rent dedicated data processing space to numerous organisations. As well as providing valuable real estate, these colocation facilities also offer 24-hour maintenance and security services to provide customers with peace of mind. Although smaller colocation facilities will only provide racks as part of their service, large facilities are able to provide entire data centre units.
3. Edge:
Not all businesses have room for a dedicated on-site data centre, but neither are they willing to compromise on performance. Therefore, edge data centres provide a fine compromise

We all use the internet and associated technology which is part of the Ethernet. But what is ethernet and how does it work?
IT networks are crucial for productivity in the modern world. Connecting a variety of IT devices together allows you to combine technologies for the maximum gain e.g. connecting a PC to storage devices and printers to facilitate data transmission. Such networks, of course, have been in place for decades and one of the simplest and most common examples uses ethernet technology.
What is Ethernet?
Ethernet is a form of technology used in both local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN) to connect IT devices together. These networks rely on ethernet cables to connect devices and transmit data between them. An ethernet network will be localised geographically due to the involvement of ethernet cables, so they are commonly found in schools, colleges and small businesses rather than connecting different organizations to one another.
How Does Ethernet Work?
Networks are powered by ethernet through several pieces of hardware. Firstly, ethernet cards are installed in PCs, and these are then connected to a network through the installation of an ethernet cable. These ethernet cables, which are available in a number of different categories, are used to transmit and carry data between the PC and the network. Completing an ethernet setup is the router; this device is used to manage and direct data across the network. The router ensures that the relevant PCs have access to not only the available data, but also the internet.

Understanding Data Cable Categories
Telecommunications and data transfer are two of the most elements of modern business. Without the correct handling of these two aspects, it’s going to be a struggle to be competitive in the business landscape. Thankfully, you can minimise this struggle by working with the best cables for the job. But there are a lot of cables available on the market. How exactly do you know which one is best? And what are the differences between data cables and phone cables? Understanding the answers to these key questions is the only way to succeed.
What are the Main Data Cable Categories?
Cabling comes in a variety of specifications, lengths and even colours. Whilst the colour of your cabling is far from important, it’s crucial that you understand what the main categories are and their capabilities. The most common type of cabling used in business is data cabling, and it can be found holding IT infrastructures and IP phone networks together. The most common forms of data cabling are:

Common Fuse Box Problems
What is a fuse box?
A fuse box is a type of electrical cabinet in which fuses, and circuit breakers are used to protect the wiring system from overloads, short circuits and ground faults. Fuse boxes help to distribute electricity more efficiently, with safety as a primary concern. Before we dive into the most common fuse problems, lets have a look at how a fuse box works.
How does a Fuse box work?
A fuse is designed to "blow" (or melt and separate the fusible link) under too high of an electrical current. A circuit breaker, on the other hand, interrupts electrical service through the use of tripped switches. These two main types of protection are then complemented by various other forms of devices, such as ground fault protection, arc fault protection and surge protectors.
Fuses are typically divided into two types: cartridge fuses and link or cable fuses. The cartridge fuse is a small tube that holds the fusible metal link in place. After the circuit has become overloaded or shorted, the link melts and the circuit is broken. The tube then cools down again to reform the link, allowing normal operation to resume.
The Most Common Fuse Box Problems
The average person can notice signs of a failing fuse box. You don’t need to be a qualified electrician to understand you may have a problem on your hands. The two most common symptoms are: An overloaded circuit which will blow the fuses in question. As a result, this will cause any associated devices to disconnect. Lastly, the smell of burning is another clear indication of a faulty fuse, as well as the smell you will notice burn marks on the fuse box. If you notice either of these signs within your premises, it’s a clear sign of a problematic fuse box. To resolve these issues, you must contact a qualified electrician.
What causes the most common fuse box problems?
Faulty Appliances: A faulty fuse box can be the result of a single appliance. For example, a hairdryer, kettle, laptop, or any other appliances in use. Regardless of the appliance, any electrical fault present can lead to your fuse box tripping repeatedly. The way to identify the issue is by disconnecting all appliances and then plugging them back in one at a time until the circuit trips.
Poor Wiring: Fuse boxes generally undergo a lot of maintenance work during their lifespan. This continuous maintenance can lead to the installation of poor wiring or installation of the wrong size wire. Both of these examples pose major risks such as, electric shock or electrical fire. All wiring issues must be investigated and dealt with by a professional electrician. In addition, if poor wiring is the reason for your faulty fuse box, it must be dealt with as top priority.
Overloaded Circuits: Present day buildings are generally full of electrical devices, and this can lead to significant strain on your fuse box. In addition, this highly noticeable when extension leads are in use.

Can I Use VoIP on My Network
Can my internet handle VoIP?
The Voice over Internet Protocol technology, as we know, allows users to make calls over the existing internet network or infrastructure. So how do we ascertain whether the networks available in our place will be able to support VoIP services? Also, what could be the requirements for the installation of a VoIP system? And what are the benefits and costs of VoIP? Let’s take a look at some of the key points that should be considered for VoIP to function on a particular network.
Requirements for VoIP
Network Internet Connection
As we know that VoIP functions in conjunction with the internet so it is one of the main prerequisites for establishing VoIP communication. The options available include both wired internet infrastructure based on broadband services and wireless internet such as Wi-Fi modems. Both systems utilize their specific hardware to establish VoIP services. In the case of wired broadband services, Ethernet cables and VoIP gateway can be used. On the other hand, the wireless network utilizes wireless internet modems in addition to Ethernet cables and VoIP gateways.
Network Bandwidth
Once the network is enabled with the internet, an analysis shall be conducted about the number of VoIP devices that are needed to be integrated into the system. The increase in the number of devices may slow down the network and cause problems such as network congestion especially if the bandwidth of the internet connection is low. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the network bandwidth to allow for a specific spare percentage of the bandwidth so that the devices can function properly. It is recommended to use 0.1 Mbps of bandwidth for every device/phone.
VoIP Service Provider
For a VoIP system to work a VoIP service provider has to be selected. Communication between VoIP phones or devices is made possible through the connection provided by the VoIP service provider as they allocate numbers and allow you to make calls to each other’s devices.
Benefits and Costs for VoIP
www.nmcabling.co.uk
Fibre optic cables transmit data using beams of light through thin strands of glass or plastic. There are two main types: multi-mode fibre used for shorter distances in LANs and single-mode fibre used for longer distances like telecommunications. Key considerations when choosing a fibre optic cable include distance, speed, durability, interference resistance, cost and maintenance requirements.
Common Electrical Hazards In The Workplace
Electrical safety in the workplace is extremely important for many reasons. As one of the most common sources of workplace injuries, electrical hazards should be regularly assessed and eliminated. Poor maintenance of electrical equipment can lead to electrocution, electric shocks, life changing injuries and in extreme circumstances, death. In this article we'll look at some of the most common electrical hazards found in the workplace.
As a business owner there are legislations in place to ensure health & safety in the workplace remains a focal point. For example;
Electricity At Work Regulation 1989
Health & Safety At Work Act Of 1974
The Management Of Health & Safety At Work Regulation Of 1999
The Provision Use Of Work Equipment Regulation Of 1998
Failure to comply with the above legislations can result in a monetary fine or imprisonment. Furthermore, employers are expected to report certain workplace injuries and incidents to the health and safety executive. Lastly, All UK insurers require you to comply with the law in order to be covered correctly. Failure to comply with any of the above could result in a claim being refused.
Common Electrical hazards In The Workplace
Faulty equipment
The continuous use of faulty or damaged electrical equipment such as, power tools and extension leads can lead to electric shocks. All electrical equipment should be regularly PAT tested to ensure their safe to be used.
Frayed/Exposed electrical cables
Electrical cords on your equipment act as a jacket for the internal live wires. When this jacket is frayed it can leave the live wires exposed. Without the additional layer of protection, the risk of electrical fires or shocks is increased.
Electricity near water
Electricity and water do not mix. Exposure to water can lead to an electrocution which can result in life changing injuries or death. If any of your electrical equipment gets wet it should be unplugged and inspected by a qualified electrician before its used again.
Incorrect Grounding
Electrical devices must be grounded or earthed to avoid the risk of electrocution. This must be checked periodically by a qualified individual. The most common test that analysis this is a PAT Test.
Overloaded Sockets
With the advancement of technology, our offices and homes are flooded with equipment that requires electricity. This often leads to extension cables being used to accommodate for the many appliances.
Ideally, extension leads used for multiple appliances should be fused, multi-way bar leads with with surge protection. In addition, do not overload the extension leads maximum electrical capacity. This can lead to electrical fires. Lastly, basic block adapters are more likely to cause an electrical fire when multiple heavy duty appliances are plugged in at the same time.

Why do circuit breakers commonly trip?
What is a circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker is a safety device that interrupts the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit. The purpose of a circuit breaker is to prevent damage from overload or short circuit. There are two main types of circuit breakers: thermal-magnetic circuit breakers and solid-state circuit breakers. Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers use a combination of heat and magnetic force to trip the breaker, while solid-state circuit breakers use semiconductor devices to detect an overload or short circuit and then interrupt the flow of electricity. Lastly, circuit breakers are typically installed in household and commercial buildings, as well as in industrial and utility applications.
Overcurrent
Overcurrent is a condition of an electrical circuit when it exceeds the maximum current allowed. As a result, too much current is flowing through the circuit. This can lead to fires, damage to the conductor insulation, and equipment damage. Overcurrent can be caused by a number of things, such as short circuit, overload, ground fault or arc. Due to the potential damage caused by an overcurrent its important to shut off the power to the affected circuit as soon as possible.
Overload
An overload happens when equipment is operating in excess of its normal full-load rating. When this is sustained over a long period of time it causes overheating and damage. An overload can be caused by a number of things, for example an overloaded circuit or faulty appliances. Overloads can cause damage to electrical components and pose a fire hazard, so it's important to shut off the power to the affected circuit as soon as possible.
Short Circuit
A short circuit is caused when an overcurrent extremely exceeds the recommended full load current of the circuit. As the name suggests, a short circuit is when the current travels along an unintended path, taking a short-cut around the load and then back to the power source. As a result, this leads to an excessive current flowing through the circuit. A short circuit can be caused by a loose wire, damaged appliances, or an overloaded circuit.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cable - LSZH or LSOH Cable
Why Use LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) Cable?
Electrical cables are part and parcel of modern life, without them, we would lose all the luxuries we take for granted such as lighting, heating and power. Cables, therefore, are essential, but they do come with drawbacks.
One of the most obvious downsides with traditional cables is that they don’t perform well when exposed to flames. Cables manufactured with PVC sheathes, for example, create thick, black clouds of toxic smoke when they come into contact with fire. Accordingly, there’s a need for cables which are safer and less toxic. Thankfully, LSOH cables deliver exactly this.
What is LSOH Cable?
The main difference between LSOH cables and conventional cables is that the LSOH variety is designed with a unique thermoplastic jacket. This jacket is designed using a combination of thermoplastic compounds – usually polyolefin-based – which maximise LSOH cables fire retardant quality. Most typically, these cables are designed with fire safety and reliability in mind; LSOH cables provide a perfect solution for cabling in confined spaces which are poorly ventilated. Once exposed to fire, LSOH cables will produce little to no smoke and ensure that visibility and air quality is not compromised.

Considerations When Choosing Fibre Optic Cable
Fibre optic is a type of cable that is made up of very thin strands of glass or plastic. These cables are used to transmit data much faster than traditional copper cables. Fibre optic cables can be used for both long-distance and short-distance transmission, making them ideal for a variety of applications. As a result, fibre optic is becoming the go-to for a variety of businesses. Specifically those with a requirement for high transmission speeds. However, how do you know which fibre solution is suitable for your needs? In this article, we'll look at the main considerations when choosing a fibre optic cable.
Multi mode fibre
Multi mode fibre is a type of optical fibre that is used to transmit data over shorter distances. It is made up of two or more layers of glass or plastic that allow multiple beams of light to travel through it at different angles. These beams are then received by a photodetector on the other end which converts them into electrical signals. Multi mode fibre is most commonly used in short-range applications such as LANs and Fibre Channel.
Single mode fibre
Single mode fibre is a type of optical fibre that is used to transmit data over long distances. It consists of a single layer of glass or plastic that allows only one beam of light to travel through it. This beam is then received by a photodetector on the other end which converts it into an electrical signal. Single mode fibre is most commonly used in long-range applications such as telecommunications and cable television.
Why do circuit breakers commonly trip?
There are a few reasons why circuit breakers commonly trip, such as:
1. Overloaded circuits: Too many devices drawing power from the same circuit can cause it to overload and trip.
2. Short circuits: A direct connection between the hot and neutral wires of an electrical circuit can cause it to overheat and trip.
3. Ground faults: When the hot wire of an electrical circuit comes into contact with the ground, it can cause the circuit to trip.
4. Appliance failures: A faulty appliance can cause a circuit to trip.
If your Circuit Breaker trips frequently, it's important to have an electrician check your wiring to ensure everything is up to code and to identify any potential problems.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
