Ultra High Density Fiber Optic Switching Equipment

05.06.2014

Siemon has launched LightStack, an ultra-high-density "plug and play" fiber optic system. This complete fiber optic system delivers high performance, density, and high availability in a state-of-the-art chassis. It is designed to support the latest data center and storage area networking environments and to transition quickly and smoothly to 40Gb and 100Gb.

LightStack has a patented chassis that can accommodate 144 LC fibers or 864 MTP fibers within a single platform. Its horizontal cable routes combine traditional and single tube jumpers, and feature easy-to-open flip-out organizers for full access. Rotating tie-down points on the back of the enclosure maintain proper bend radius.

The rear bottom tray slides in for easy access to connections when the cabinets are stacked one on top of the other. When extended, the rear tray serves as a cable barrier between the stacked enclosures. Low-loss "plug and play" modules are easy to insert or remove from the front or rear of the chassis, and the aesthetic easy-to-open magnetic door eliminates fiber hazards and features clear, drop-down labeling.

LightStack LC-MTP's ultra-slim, low-loss "plug and play" modules in multimode and single-mode OM4 configurations have a low flex fiber loss of 0,35dB. LightStack MTP end-to-end adapters with 0,2dB low loss and full 40Gb and 100Gb support are available in two, four, and six port configurations, as well as matched and reversed key orientations to accommodate all polarity methods. LightStack also supports 12-fiber LC pass-through adapter plates for current SANs in the form of 10 Gb Ethernet or fiber channel.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Genes against gravity 31.03.2015

The device of living organisms depends on where they live, and a huge number of very different factors determine the structure of the body, and physiology, and behavior - even in bacteria, even in people. Among these factors, the most universal ones can be distinguished, which are easy to enumerate: for example, the temperature of the environment, or humidity, or the concentration of oxygen in air or water. But there is something that is rarely mentioned. We are talking about the force of gravity, which acts on everyone and always. Could she play a role in shaping the appearance of living beings?

Biologists have been asking this question for quite a long time: for example, 100 years ago, D'Arcy Thompson suggested that in animals the shape of the body is largely determined by the force of gravity, and if it were twice as large on Earth, primates would not have developed any upright posture, and in general all tetrapods would be short-legged and move like lizards. Apparently, evolution had to somehow respond to the gravitational factor, but what kind of molecular-cellular mechanisms helped us adapt to gravity, we can only now find out.

Makoto Furutani-Seiki (Makoto Furutani-Seiki), together with his colleagues from the University of Bath and with the participation of researchers from Japan, Austria and the United States, were able to find a gene that is responsible for the formation of a "three-dimensional" body in animals. When it was turned off in fish, the development of tissues was disturbed, they were located incorrectly relative to each other, and the whole body was strongly flattened in the direction of the gravitational force. If it did not work in cultured human cells, they ceased to combine into volumetric clusters. In an article in Nature, the authors write that this gene, called YAP, serves as a regulator of the molecular machine that controls the mechanical forces in and between cells - the correct distribution of such forces is necessary to create most organs and body parts. Roughly speaking, thanks to YAP, we can resist gravity and generally have a more or less voluminous, rather than flat, body.

How exactly the anti-gravity gene works, how and when it turns on, and what other genes are under its control, we have yet to find out. Further experimentation here will not only reveal why we have come to look the way we do now, but will also help develop reliable methods for creating artificial organs. By controlling the genetic system responsible for the "bulkness" of an organ, we can, for example, grow a liver or kidney of the right size in the laboratory, which will not differ from the real ones - in order to transplant them later to replace the spoiled ones.
