Ethernet Vs Wi-Fi ? Which one to choose or choose combination of both ? This is always an initial question when planning to setup a home or office network for connectivity. Both offers their own advantage and are superior to other for one or more reasons but when comes to overall comparison then answer is hidden in prospective application of usage and premises accessibility. An Ethernet is a wired connection between your network switch to network devices(desktop, laptop, printer etc) using a physical connection(CAT5/CAT6 or other ethernet cables). While a Wi-Fi(Wireless Fidelity) is over the air connection, so without any physical connection a networking device is connected to Wireless Router.

CYBER SECURITY 101 With changes in technology and everyone connected digitally often create a havoc thought of privacy and security, often termed as Cyber Security. Do's and Don'ts  -  Wants and Needs, often dictates our choices of selection. But before we go deeper in discussion , let's talk Security at basic level to better understand it. Here are basic principles which can help understand security  for better designed solutions for physical or  cyber security needs. 1) Security Vs Convenience   : It's usual that higher the level of security is create lower the convenience level it creates for user in order to safely go through all layers of security. Ease to access means limited security for user as well as intruder. Choosing the balance wisely with needs and requirements is essential. 2) Security is continuous process : Issues can be fixed and resolved to mitigate the risk but there's always be new avenues of exposure and it's impossible to...

In CE Code handbook, installation of fiber optic cable in same vicinity of electrical cables has be discussed. Section 56 is intended to ensure that optical fiber cables installed adjacent to, or in the same raceway and enclosures as, component of electrical systems do not pose, or contribute, to a fire or shock Section 56 – Optical Fiber Cables Rule 56-000 Scope Section 56 includes additional and specific requirements for the installation of optical fibre cable adjacent to electrical conductors or electrical system equipment. These optical fiber cables are used for control, signalling and communications functions that are generally performed by electrical conductors. The optical fibers transmit modulated light patterns that are encoded and decoded by terminal equipment. They do not transmit electrical voltages or currents, nor are they affected by electrical contact or induction. Shock and fire hazards, however, can arise from following: 1) The type of optical fib...

Core of all connectivity - Structured Cabling   One of the most essential and critical part is to understand how beneficial a well designed cable network can be but it may looses it's merits if it's not done correctly. When designing a structured cabling for any house, office, buildings, factory, warehouse or any premises which needs connectivity or inter-connectivity whether by means of wired or wireless connections, most professionals follow either  a 4 steps process :  Analyse and Plan - Design the Network - Execute the Installation - Measure and validate Most efficient and economical structured cabling design begins with analyzing the requirements and needs at present moment as well as forecasting future growth few years ahead. The scope should allow to upgrade or repair any issues without damaging physical infrastructure, limiting possible down time, patching or replacements of defectives as well as monitor and maintain the performance status. Next, i...
