Industrial environments present a wide range of potential factors that can impact Industrial Ethernet communications performance. As Industrial Ethernet cabling is routed through densely packed machinery and industrial processes in a plant, it can be exposed to a wide range of physical, temperature, chemical, and other harmful effects. Us...

Fiber cable is fast becoming a practical solution for many cabling projects due to its low cost and reliable connectivity. Once the decision to go down the fiber route has been made, another needs to be made on whether to use singlemode or multimode. Each has its own place within the right applications, neither one more superior to the other. Knowi...

As more and more industrial devices and appliances are controlled using connection to the IT Network, a more noise-tolerant and robust-structured modular plug is required compared to a common office LAN application plug. The plugs and cables must have a strong shielded structure to handle electrical noise and they must also be designed to work in h...

With the ever increasing demand for bandwidth, data centres continue to be expanded and upgraded. In particular, the demand for increased storage capacity in the storage area network and data centre environment has resulted in one of the fastest growing industries in the world. The data center is the heart of your operation. Whether it oc...

 By joining an exclusive group of contractors that are dedicated to reliable network design and proper installation to ensure up-time and high performance, certified cable installers offer benefits that others cannot. One of the biggest benefits is the advantage of offering product warranty to customers, such as DINTEK's 25 year product or ful...

The increasing requirement for faster access to greater volumes of data, evolving network standards and fast developing technology, makes it necessary for infrastructure managers to be able to integrate equipment with different topologies & media and differing network speeds within existing infrastructure environme...

DINTEK's ezi-PLUGTM pass through termination combines the performance advantage of DINTEK design with a design which allows the terminations of RJ45 Plugs to Cat6 & Cat5e cables quicker, more accurate with reduced Near End Cross Talk at the plug. As installers, we all have to make direct connections onto RJ45 plugs. Whether it is making a patch...

As Power over Ethernet (PoE) continues to grow in popularity, so does the demand for applications with higher power. The introduction of the new PoE standard IEEE 802.3bt, meets this demand by doubling or perhaps as much as tripling the amount of power delivered to the end device. The previous standard enabled power transmission over just two pairs...

If you have concerns on why we have to run LSZH cables in some special networking cabling environments, in this article we'll explain a little about what halogens are, what's the difference between PVC and LSZH cable and why we have to run the low smoke halogen free cable. What are halogens? A halogen is a nonmetallic element, such as fluorine...

DINTEK Electronic limited is currently updating its ETL verification certificates for some of its Cat5e, Cat6 & Cat6A products.Enter heading here... So we thought we might take the time to explain what is third party testing, Why do we use it, and what are the benefits of using product which bears the mark of a third party testing entity.1. Wha...

What is RoHS?​ RoHS is the acronym for Restriction of Hazardous Substances.  RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. Directive 2002/95/EC covers the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in elec...
