  • Using a Layer 2 switch for port aggregation

    Using a Layer 2 switch for port aggregation

    In order to configure 2 or more ports (up to 8) to be a port aggregate, simply navigate to Switching > Monitor > Switch ports and select the target ports, then choose "Aggregate". It is recommended that you do not have the target ports physically connected to anything during this. Cisco Meraki MS switches allow the use of the open standard LACP to provide Layer 2 link aggregation, in the form of link bonding as described above. The MS's LACP hashing algorithm uses traffic's source/destination IP, MAC, and port to determine which bonded link to utilize. This provides highly. Link aggregation, also called trunking, is an optional feature available on the Ethernet switch and is used with Layer 2 Bridging. Other umbrella terms used to describe the concept include trunking, bundling, bonding, channeling or teaming.


  • Fiber optic splice closures are manufactured using a sealed process

    Fiber optic splice closures are manufactured using a sealed process

    Fiber optic splice closures utilize various sealing methods, including mechanical, heat-shrinkable, breathable, and gel types, to ensure the safety of internal optical cables. The sealing strength is crucial for performance. . The Apex X-1 is a sealed splice closure designed for protecting optical fiber splices in both above- or below-grade applications in a butt configuration. The Apex X-1 is capable of up to 144* single fusion, 432 mass fusion with standard ribbon, or 864 mass fusion with “rollable ribbon” fiber types. Preparing cables for splice closures involves several steps that should be followed in the exact sequence specified by the manufacturer to ensure the cables are properly secured with adequate strain relief and the closure will seal. The cable jacket (or sheath) and strength members of the cable. FOSC, or Fiber Optic Splice Closure, is a specialized protective enclosure specifically engineered to safeguard fiber optic splices – the critical junction points where individual optical fibers are permanently joined together.

  • Security Monitoring Using Fiber Bragg Gratings

    Security Monitoring Using Fiber Bragg Gratings

    In this study, we propose an optical fiber security system based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) force-loading sensors embedded in the floor for security monitoring. FBG has the advantages of high sensitivity, small size, corrosion resistance, and resistance to electromagnetic. Fiber optical sensors (FOS) have been widely used to ensure physical parameter monitoring such as strain, temperature, vibration, etc. The demodulation system for signal acquisition and high-speed wavelength calculation was designed based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform. The present review paper provides an in-depth analysis of FBG.

    How to change the color of cable trays using Revit

    To change the color of the cable tray, you may need to adjust its visibility settings. You can do this either. Is there a way to change your cable tray to a different color? Currently in 3D it shows the cable tray as gray but i would like to change the color to red instead. 08-08-2016 08:07 AM If you just want it solid red it a specific view. Click Options in the bottom right. Click Manage tab Settings panel MEP Settings drop-down Electrical Settings. if the cable tray has three. How do I change the colors of the cable trays / cable trunking in Revit? Let's say I have submain cable trays, ELV tranking, and other types of electrical trays, and I want to change their colors as per their disciplines? Note that I could change the whole type (Cable Tray) in Object Styles, but.


  • Spectrum Analyzer Qualification

    Spectrum Analyzer Qualification

    Spectrum analyzer types are distinguished by the methods used to obtain the spectrum of a signal. There are swept-tuned and fast Fourier transform (FFT) based spectrum analyzers: • A swept-tuned analyzer uses a to a portion of the input signal spectrum to the center frequency of a narrow, whose instantaneous output power is recorded or displayed as a function of time. By sweeping the receiver's center-frequency (using a.
