U.S. Water Utility Rupture and ICS Cyber Security Lessons Acquired

Blog Category: ICS, IIoT Posted on: March 16, 2017by

Industrial control systems (ICS) are the workhorses of our world, and becoming more internet-connected, more virtualized in most cases, and remotely more accessible by the day. Gartner Research indicates 5.5 million devices were added per day in 2016, a pace that excellerates to an estimated 21+ billion internet-connected “things” running our world by 2020.

Security experts worry that the increase dependence on internet-connected devices is outpacing our ability to seal them. This is especially true within industrial and critical infrastructure because cyber threats could result in physical disruption, loss of availability and even risk to public safety.

Many ICS professionals continue to feel that the actual danger to plant operations and industrial automation are minimal given highly purpose-built industrial equipment, specialized communications protocols, air gaps and unique automation systems and processes. Unfortunately, that’s not what the data shows.

4 Elements that Jolt Network Bandwidth

Blog Category: Uncategorized Posted on: March 10, 2017by

Ponder about the streets you commute every day. What would occur if the traffic engineers who designed these roadways did not take into account the numbers of cars travelling on them, road width and the number of lanes? They would not be able to accommodate a certain amount of traffic at a certain average speed. Traffic would be a disaster, there would be bottlenecks and hold ups, and it would be hard to get where you needed to be.

The same holds true for your network – it’s only as adequate as the planning that goes into it. Different types of applications require different network bandwidth levels. Each task fulfilled using your network takes up network bandwidth, with many bits per second navigating across the network. Knowing and how much bandwidth each application uses is key to ensuring the functionality, reliability and speed of your network.

TIA acknowledges Direct-Connect Termination Method

Blog Category: Enterprise Networks, Ethernet Posted on: March 8, 2017by

The industry acquired some great news: The TIA TR-42.7 subcommittee consented to incorporate modular plug terminated links (also known as “direct connect”) in a TIA-568.2-D normative annex. The annex provides assistance to IT professionals to ensure a proper direct-connect cabling arrangement. Many Belden staff are closely involved with the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), holding many leadership positions within the organization. We are constantly looking out for the ICT industry, searching for ways to boost existing technology and streamline installation – which is why we presented the issue to TIA and lead the effort to have the direct-connect termination method fully supported.

What does this mean? RJ45 modular plugs can be terminated straight onto horizontal cabling and measured in the field. It allows an assortment of devices, such as wireless access points, surveillance cameras and HDBaseT monitors, to be plugged without the need for an outlet and a patch cord.

Ethernet Trends for Data Centre Technology

Blog Category: Data Centers, Ethernet, IoT Posted on: March 2, 2017by

40G and 100G Ethernet technology is no longer a distant vision for data centers – it is reality. As data centers of all types continue to expand in terms of traffic and size, 100G is set to become the new standard for high bandwidth and intelligent architecture. It will take some time to develop industry-wide, but 100G is well on its way.

In the initial development of 40G and 100G Ethernet, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet working group considered only multimode optics and multimode fiber cable solutions (with a reach of up to 150m for 40G and 100m for 100G) for data center applications.

The Unsung Hero of Rail Communication – Industrial Cable

Blog Category: IIoT, Industrial Ethernet, Rail Posted on: February 28, 2017by

The transportation industry, unlike several other critical industrial operations, has the unique position of directly engaging with its passengers and keeping them happy and safe. Any delays in a transportation system not only lead to lost revenue but also a trickle-down effect of annoyed commuters, who can choose to spend their transportation budget someplace else.

Having nightmares about train delays, safety issues or interrupted passenger services? Customers are easily annoyed by issues, like inaccurate travel information, missed connections or lack of Wi-Fi.

Unless you oversee the overall operations of a railway system or you’re in charge of specifying a new or upgraded application– the reliability of the railway communication network rests on your shoulders. No matter your function in building out a proper Ethernet network, it can be easy to fall into the trap of focusing your attention on the “glossy” or more exciting components, like switches and routers. The duty those devices play can be exciting to discuss and debate – trust us, we get it!

Additional Wireless Access Points: What It Means for Networks

Blog Category: Enterprise Networks, Ethernet, IoT Posted on: February 22, 2017by

Ordinarily users will bring up to three devices with them – a smartphone, tablet and laptop, for instance – that will all connect to your network the minute you walks through your doors. (The average U.S. consumer now has 3.64 devices.) These devices are continuously downloading updates, receiving emails and synching to cloud-based storage. According to Dell’Oro, the number of wireless LAN active users is currently outpacing wired LAN users.

This fact alone proves the point that bandwidth capacity requirements are escalating– and we have not touched on the devices that are connecting to enterprise networks as a result of Internet of Things (IoT). VoIP phones, IP surveillance cameras, lighting systems and building controls are all connecting to networks to transfer data, receive data and adjust performance in real time.

HDBaseT: Let’s talk Convergence

Blog Category: 4K, Ethernet, HDBaseT Posted on: February 20, 2017by Greg Pokroy

There has been talk about convergence in the cabling world; some driven by new technology and market overlapping. Today’s system integrator has the ability to install a system that covers phones, computers, security, audio/video and also low-voltage power.

There are two types of convergence that we often discuss: technology and infrastructure.

Technology convergence uses a single network system, such as Ethernet, to support multiple devices. All of these devices share the same cable and active equipment. An example, you can now plug your desk phone and computer into the same telecom switch. Ethernet networks can support just about every aspect of communication, voice, data, security, building control and even AV applications. This is not the convergence we are talking about.

Infrastructure convergence uses the same cable to support multiple systems. All sorts of devices connect to their own system using a common cabling system. The biggest type of communication cabling being used today is Ethenet category cable. While the entire system shares the same cable, the devices don’t speak the same language; therefore, they cannot communicate with each other. This system offers customers a universal, low cost-cabling system. But is it really the best solution for each application?

This article examines one version of this type of convergence: the use of category cabling for HDBaseT signals.

Cabinet Load: Why It Matters and Why It’s Changing

Blog Category: Data Centers, Enterprise Networks, IoT Posted on: February 2, 2017by Greg Pokroy

For better use of floor space and decreased operating costs, the goal it have more active gear inside cabinets and enclosures. As a result, they’re getting wider, deeper and taller. In the past, most enclosures offered 42 RUs or 45 RUs of space. Today, many cabinets offer 48 RUs of space – and can offer as many as 52 RUs (or more).

But as cabinets grow in size, they also get heavier. If cabinets get too heavy, the floor may not be able to support the load; the cabinets may also be very difficult to move.

It’s becoming crucial to analyze load ratings (load capacities) when selecting cabinets. Here are the load ratings you need to know:

Static load rating: How much weight a cabinet can hold when racks are loaded in the data center
Dynamic load rating: How much weight a cabinet can accommodate when shipped fully loaded (important to note with services like Data Center Ready becoming more popular)
Rolling load rating: How much weight a cabinet can tolerate as it is moved/rolled across the floor
