CommScope Technical Family Webinar

Please join us for the next CommScope Technical Family webinar, “Simplifying Complexity – Fiber Connectivity” on September 14.

Data drives your network. To keep it flowing efficiently and freely, your physical layer infrastructure must be managed in real-time, using authoritative information—not assumptions. Gaining the visibility and insights needed to make the right decisions gets tougher as networks converge and grow more complex.

With an intuitive, web-based architecture, imVision® delivers real-time intelligence and device discovery that allow you to monitor and document your cabling infrastructure while tracking the location of all connected network devices. It delivers actionable, real-time data and performance insights that enable you to optimize capacity, availability and efficiency.

In this webinar we will explore the growing need for (Automated Infrastructure Management) AIM systems in managing high density environments, as well as key considerations and use cases.

Standards Byte


TIA-TR42 – The application support tables including twisted-pair, fiber, PON and coaxial applications (Annex C) will be taken out of the TIA-568.0 document and be a standalone TSB for ease of updating. CommScope holds editorship of the new TSB. TIA-568.0 (Generic cabling), TIA-568.1 (Commercial building infrastructure) and TIA-862 (Intelligent building systems infrastructure) will be combined into one document.

IEEE 802.3 – The previous IEEE P802.3df task force has been split into two groups P802.3df and P802.3dj. P802.3df focuses on 400 Gb/s and 800 Gb/s over SMF and MMF based on 100G lane rate. P802.3dj focuses on 200 Gb/s, 400 Gb/s, 800 Gb/s and 1.6 Tb/s over SMF based on 200G lane rate.

IEC SC86C/WG1 – The SM test document (IEC 61280-4-2) is in revision. Equipment cord test method is being added to document. Further clarification on bidirectional OTDR testing being recommended and not required.
