The interface has dominated the telecommunications market since the idea of structured telecommunications cabling was conceptualized. And, before that, a 2-pair version of the connector appeared on every telephone headset sold since the late 1960's. Yes, there is no doubt that the RJ-style plug and jack interface is ubiquitous, but with data transmission speeds approaching 10 Gb/s, these components are starting to show their age... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiemonUsWhitePaperFeed/~3/N9PKN8ao3r0/09-01-13-reinventing-the-rj-45-for-tomorrows-network.asp Sun, 18 January 2009 12:00:00 EST http://www.siemon.com/us/white_papers/09-01-13-reinventing-the-rj-45-for-tomorrows-network.asp?c=w In pure engineering terms, latency is the time between an action and the results of that action. In the processing world, latency can be the time between an input action and the displayed results. In networking, latency is a synonym for delay or the time it takes a datagram to move from one network device to another... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiemonUsWhitePaperFeed/~3/rF_BTQoK7s8/08-03-03-latency.asp Mon, 03 March 2008 12:25:00 EST http://www.siemon.com/us/white_papers/08-03-03-latency.asp?c=w Several grades, speeds and applications exist for fiber optic network cabling plants. Two factors will govern the speeds for your fiber: the grade of fiber and the light source used to launch the data onto the fiber. This can also increase depending on which type of multiplexing is used to carry multiple signals across the same fiber strands... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiemonUsWhitePaperFeed/~3/jushZoJLgug/08-03-03-light-it-up.asp Mon, 03 March 2008 12:25:00 EST http://www.siemon.com/us/white_papers/08-03-03-light-it-up.asp?c=w One needs only a glimpse of a financial trading floor to see that it is a challenging environment: the physical activity, the noise, the stress.

We typically think of emissions as coming from forms of transportation, heavy industry and power generation, but with recent work to address global issues we see that in fact, IT and IT related products can have an impact in several areas... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiemonUsWhitePaperFeed/~3/LobrW0GPGCA/08-01-24-green-building.asp Thu, 24 January 2008 12:25:00 EST http://www.siemon.com/us/white_papers/08-01-24-green-building.asp?c=w A "green" building is a building that is constructed in a responsible manner that minimizes or eliminates the negative environmental impact of the building on the environment, its community and on the health of its occupants, and reduces natural resource consumption... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiemonUsWhitePaperFeed/~3/JtftdnjNKuA/08-01-24-introduction-to-leed.asp Thu, 24 January 2008 12:25:00 EST http://www.siemon.com/us/white_papers/08-01-24-introduction-to-leed.asp?c=w Any network manager will tell you the importance of a fully documented network. This documentation should include all workstations, IP addresses, router configurations, firewall parameters, etc. But this documentation may fall short at the physical layer.
