Understand today’s data center requirements
As the need for digital services escalates, electrical engineers are working to ensure data centers can meet these electrical requirements. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging in this endeavor, enhancing the efficiency of cooling systems and reinforcing the need for expanded data center infrastructure. The symbiotic relationship between AI and data centers underscores the nature of […]
Understand the differences and when to use each
What is an Ethernet splitter? An Ethernet splitter is a small, simple device that allows two Ethernet connections to share a single Ethernet cable. It is designed to reduce the number of cables needed to set up a network. Ethernet splitters are typically used in pairs — one on each end of the cable. It […]
Black Hat USA and DEF CON: Much to Understand After the ‘Hacker Summer Camp’
This year has been particularly interesting for cybersecurity. High-profile incidents and other areas of focus in cybersecurity provided the backdrop for Hacker Summer Camp 2024 in Las Vegas in August. Topics frequently covered during this year’s conferences included: Increased focus on critical infrastructure – Critical infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex, distributed, and difficult to describe […]
Understand mechanical tests for cable longevity
What is the purpose of mechanical testing? Power cables, typically installed underground, in ducts or on overhead structures, are often subjected to mechanical stresses such as tension, compression, bending and twisting. It is therefore important that cables are subjected to stringent tests to ensure their ability to withstand the mechanical stresses they will be exposed […]
