I have a couple of questions concerning OM3 fiber optics <link snipped>. As i was searching for a vender to provide the cables needed for a job i have ran into OM2 & OM3 fiber patch cords. Besides the color difference, is OM3 the new revolutionary cable type being used now and days? The specs i have seen between the 2 are quite similar, both are 50 microns

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen it comes to fiber optics my knowledge is very limited. All I know is that they can carry data at high bandwidth for a long range at blazing speeds etc.My boss has asked me to link several buildings to the network and I am led to believe that joining them through fiber optics to be best since we are expecting a lot of data traffic between.I have done the normal RJ-45 networking with Gigabit networking in my organisation but need your assistance on how to join each of the buildings through fibre optics.Draw up the fiber optic lines from the main building to each building.All the buildings have Gigabit Cat6e cabling and network in each.I am planning on using a single mode media converter to convert the end of the fibre optic to the normal RJ45 connector and plug it to each switch at each of the ends of the fiber optic cable .I don't even know the gadgematics required except for the cables them selves, crimping tools, the media converter. There is about 300-400 metres in between of each building from the main building.Also, I believe that we need to create cross over cables as in the normal way we do in connecting 2 switches.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're planning to install 24 strand singlemode fiber optic cable in three ocations. What is the best way to run the cables between the 3 locations. Location 1 is in the south, 2 is in the middle and 3 is in the north pretty much in a straight line.Should we run one fiber optic cable from location 1 to location 2 and another fiber optic cable from location 1 to location 3 or is there a better way? Maybe we can run from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 so that location 2 acts like a hub.Is there a way to just run one fiber optic cable from location 1 to 3 and along the way somehow splice that cable to go to location 2

Currently we have a cisco router 2801 for Wireless Internet connection. And we are going to have another ISP that can provide us Fibre Optic internet connection rather than wireless.My question is that can we use this router for fibre optic internet connection? how do we go about this? what is the maximum bandwidth that the router can support?

This is slightly cheaper than flat cables and it's from Belkin. Do the 2 terms mean the same thing (ie. flat/thin)?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm currently training at a PC store.Me and this other guy are trying to figure out some networking.So far we've file shared 2 PCs with 1 crossover cable.Now we're trying to figure out how to do this with 3 PCs and NO hub, switch, router, etc.I have my theory and he has his.
His theory: One of the computers need an ethernet card so 2 crossover cables can be plugged into it.(The MOBOs only have one port to plug in Cat5s)
My theory: Cut 2 crossover cables in half. And put the three ends together so the wires are touching each other, then tape it. For example green to green to green, orange to orange to orange, etc.Here's an example picture: Now I know my theory would work with audio but me co-trainee isn't so sure if it will work with networking.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI purchased a D-Link switch that supports MDI-X so I should be able to use only straight through cables according to the manual. My Router (Wrt54gs) also supports MDI-X, yet when I plug a straight through cable from port 4 on router to port 1 on the switch -> then a straight through from port 2 on the switch to my computer, I don't get an IP address.If I connect a crossover cable from the router to port 1 on D link switch -> then straight through from port 2 to computer, it works just fine.I am going to purchase an extra crossover cable to use for this but I'm really curious as to why it wont work this way? DES-1105 is the model of the switch. "THE DES-1105 CAN BE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER SWITCH OR OTHER DEVICES (ROUTERS BRIDGES ETC) VIA A TWO-PAIR CATEGORY 3,4,5 UTP/STP STRAIGHT THROUGH OR CROSSOVER CABLE."
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had one straight through cable connecting one switch and a pc in my office. The cable is approx 90 metres in length. The cable has been cut in between by rat. Now can I join those 2 cables by a coupler, if so will it increase latency, what type of crimping is required, straight through or cross cables. I think 2 cross cables connected by a coupler becomes straight.

I will have the following connections:

Router to Switch
Switch to PC
Should any of these be crossovers?
There are 2 locations to choose from. One location requires me to run longer CAT6 cables. 7 of them. The other location requires me to run a longer RG6 cable. (the CAT6 runs would then be about the shortest they could get)So, I guess I need to know which can handle running parallel with power cables better, 25feet of RG6 or CAT6?The parallel with power cable is only for about 6-8 feet, but that's already more than it should be for CAT6.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm an electrical engineer by trade, and fairly inept at networking. That being said, I am looking to extend the maximum range of my networking equipment. I have a job which requires around 500' between switches, and am trying to find a clever way to bridge the gap. The span is direct-burial cat5e, and has very low bandwidth requirements. I know you can buy off-the-shelf range extenders, but they are expensive, so I thought maybe I could avoid it.
1. It my understanding that the lower speed protocols (10 Mbps rather that 100, 1000) have a longer maximum operating length, because they utilize a lower frequency and consequently see a lower impedance. If so, are there network switches that I can force to use the lower baseband frequencies?
2. Should I bother trying to find a cable with the lowest characteristic impedance (or will they all be similar)? Cat 5e is pretty good, yes?
3. Should I do half or full-duplex; is this something I can control as well?
4. What network switches are cheap and allow this type of configurability?
5. If I attach other switches to the ends of this 500' ethernet bridge with auto-negotiating feature, will there be any conflicts or they will all get along?
tell me the reasons that could cause the decreasing of the bandwidth in the TP cables? just 3 or 4 (main) reasons.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought a DIR-655 last week and have a very odd problem: have set up the DIR router after my Modem/Router Netgear DG834 when i connect a laptop with LAN cable to one of the LAN ports on the DIR i can access internet without any problem.When i search wireless network from my laptop the DIR turns up and have excellent reception(4-5bars).
This works fine when i start for ex. google, but then after clicking on a link or trying to access any other webadress, the internet disconnects?? (i still have excellent reception between the router and laptop.)It also seems that the internet connection is reestablished automatically after 1-2 min, but disconnects again after a few minutes. I have the same issue with WII, the WII console finds DIR but when I'm trying to update the firmware in the WII console the connection stop working.
One more Q: when i connect LAN cable from modem to DIR i get no internet access, should it be that way? How u are suppose to connect LAN cabels between modem/DIR/stationary PC?
In what order the 8 cables go into the octal plug.The cable is a X.21.DTE 8 LEAD OCTAL part No 72-1100-01. The cables are not in numerical order (as in 0 to 7 as per the serial ports). I'm trying to trace cables and don't have a spare cable to examine. So far I think the order is 0,4,5,1, 2,6,7,3?
