Webinars

• Intelligent Buildings

  March 5, 2020

  Approved for 1 BICSI ITS CEC*

  An intelligent building can be described generally as one in which data about building-systems’ performance can be collected, analyzed, and used to optimize those systems’ efficiency. In order to achieve any of these capabilities, the building systems must be supported by a reliable physical-layer infrastructure. This seminar, produced by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, examines multiple aspects of building and managing the infrastructure to support systems within an intelligent building.

• ICT in 2020 – What’s In Store and How Can You Prepare?

  January 30, 2020

  Approved for 1 BICSI ITS CEC* 

  A recent survey of professionals across the information and communications technology (ICT) industry indicates that user organizations have begun to adopt latest-generation technologies like the Internet of Things, and more users plan to do so in the near future.

• AV over IP: Don’t Be Afraid!

  October 18, 2019

  Approved for 1 BICSI ITS CEC* 

  Over the past decade, AV systems for applications like video displays, video conferencing and digital signage have shifted from connecting via traditional RCA coaxial, component cables and baluns to low-voltage network cabling such as balanced twisted-pair copper and optical fiber cables. While many of these networked AV systems still utilize proprietary equipment and protocols, newer AV-over-IP systems like SDVoE are doing more than just leveraging existing network cabling—they're also now leveraging common Ethernet/IP switches and are easier to design and deploy than ever before.

  Selecting the right type of cabling and connectivity, identifying the key features to consider and understanding related structured cabling standards, installation best practices and the need for proper testing and reporting can go a long way in helping AV integrators and network professionals alike eliminate their fears and ensure a successful, certified standards-compliant AV-over-IP deployment. 

• Power over Ethernet Standards and Cabling

  June 20, 2019

  Approved for 1 BICSI ITS CEC* 

  The eight-position eight-contact connector has become the truly global power interface, thanks to the worldwide adoption of standards-based Power over Ethernet technology. While PoE serves hundreds of millions of outlets and has been a proven technology for well over a decade, deploying PoE is not as simple as plugging in and forgetting about it. Issues such as interoperability, backward compatibility, and cabling-plant capability require consideration and action. This webcast seminar, produced by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, explores several aspects of Power over Ethernet, describing the steps users and technicians can take to ensure a standard-compliant and technically capable system is in place.
