https://cloudswit.ch/blogs/guide-cat5-5e-cat6-6a-cat7-cat8-ethernet-cable/ If you work in the field of network communication, it’s important to be familiar with Ethernet cables. There are several common types of cables, including Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, and Cat8. While these cables may look similar, they have some differences in their characteristics. This article aims to provide you with a comprehensive introduction to the various types of network cables and their distinctions, making it easier for you to make the right choice when it comes to wiring. What are Ethernet Cables? Ethernet cables are high-quality networking cables used to establish physical connections between devices in homes and offices. Ethernet offers fast and consistent data transfer speeds, meaning that if you connect your cable modem and laptop with an Ethernet cable, you can expect fewer dropped connections and faster download speeds while browsing the web. Although the popularity of WiFi has reduced the u...

  What Is HPC (High-Performance Computing) High-performance computing is the capability of processing data and performing complex calculations at extremely high speeds. For example, a laptop or desktop computer with a 3 GHz processor can perform about 3 billion calculations per second, which is much faster than any human being can achieves, but it still pales in comparison to HPC solutions that can perform trillions of calculations per second. The general architecture of HPC is mainly composed of computing, storage, and network. The reason why HPC can improve the computing speed is that it adopts “parallel technology”, using multiple computers to work together, using ten, hundreds, or even thousands of computers, which enables them “working in parallel”. Each computer needs to communicate with each other and process tasks cooperatively, which requires a high-speed network with strict requirements on latency and bandwidth. Key Factors of HPC Performance Processor performance: This r...

What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)? PoE is a technology that can transmit power and data to devices through twisted pair cables in Ethernet. What devices can you connect to a PoE switch? A PoE switch comes equipped with numerous Ethernet ports that are capable of connecting various devices, including VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras. How does PoE work? The PoE power supply system consists of two primary equipment roles: Power-sourcing equipment (PSE): Typically a PoE switch, this device supplies power to the powered devices through Ethernet. It provides functions such as detection, analysis, and intelligent power management. Powered devices (PD): These devices include wireless APs, portable device chargers, card readers, cameras, and other powered devices. Depending on whether they comply with IEEE standards, PD can be categorized as standard or non-standard. When should I use a PoE switch? The increasing prevalence of the Internet of Things and smart cities has led t...
