CommScope: Network vs. Squirrel
Having a squirrel problem? Are these and other rodents chewing through your cables? In CommScope’s edition of “Network vs. Squirrel” your problems are solved!
Five years ago, CommScope introduced their patented Alternative Jacket material on their coaxial trunk and distribution products. The trick to keeping these rodents from tearing through your cables is the polymer blend of which these jackets are comprised. The blend uses food-grade additives such as bittering agents and capsaicins to send your rodents running for a mint and a glass of water from the bitterness and heat! Not only does this ensure the safety of your cables, but the animal’s safety, as well. Due to the product’s success, CommScope is now extending the Alternative Jacket to other products lines which include fiber optic cables and coaxial drop cables. More.

Data Center Design for 40/100G
With the continued requirement for expansion and scalability in the data center, cabling infrastructures must provide reliability, manageability and flexibility. Deployment of an optical connectivity solution allows for an infrastructure that meets these requirements for current and future data rates. A key factor when choosing the type of optical connectivity is scalability. Scalability refers to not only the physical expansion of the data center with respect to additional servers, switches or storage devices, but also to the scalability of the infrastructure to support a migration path for increasing data rates. As technology evolves and standards are completed to define data rates such as 40/ 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel (32G and beyond) and InfiniBand (40G and beyond), the cabling infrastructures installed today must provide scalability to accommodate the need for more bandwidth in support of future applications.
