Although blown optical fiber systems are helping to expand more reliable networks more quickly, one crucial element to reliability that cannot be overlooked is the importance of cleaning fiber-optic connections like splices and endfaces. For some cable installers, cleaning may not always be the focus, but it plays a vital role in ensuring the reliability and performance of fiber-optic networks.

In response to US Conec’s recent complaint to the International Trade Commission and federal lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Texas—both relating to patents covering MPO-style connectivity technology as well as Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connectivity technology—Senko issued a message of assurance to its customers and the general market of fiber-optic connectivity consumers reaffirming that its VSFF patents dating back as far as 2016, not only pre-date those of US Conec, but also cover critical design aspects that are integral to the core functionality of the connector.

The Telecommunications Industry Association has published ANSI/TIA-942-C Data Center Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard. Approved for publication earlier this year, the “C” revision of the 942 standard includes several significant modifications from the “B” version, including the incorporation of previously published standards documents, recognition of a new media type and connectivity, new requirements, new recommendations, and references to technical documentation published by other standards-development organizations.

The TIA-942-C standard will include several significant modifications from the TIA-942-B version—including the incorporation of previously published standards documents, recognition of a new media type and connectivity, new requirements, new recommendations, and references to technical documentation published by other SDOs.
