Design kit aids in Ethernet data and power protection
Bourns released the POE-LAB1 Design Kit, which can help you when designing Power over Ethernet (PoE) into your products. The kit streamlines both the design of power/data delivery and protection. The kit includes components from the company’s line of semiconductor and magnetic products suited to support high-speed Ethernet lines, up to 10 Gb/sec, with PoE++…
OFC 2024: Network equipment
The infrastructure of data communications networks needs lots of fiber, semiconductors, and network equipment to bring data to the masses. Optical data networks form the backbone of today’s communications. Data centers, which seem to dominate any discussion of digital communications, depend heavily on fiber-optic connections from a few meters to many kilometers. Getting those bits…
