R&M, the global Swiss developer and provider of high-end infrastructure solutions for data and communications networks, is making network installation simpler than ever. The latest issue of its specialist magazine, CONNECTIONS 70Â , dives into solutions for local data networks and also highlights new approaches for industrial data networks, data center infrastructure, and simplified broadband network expansion.
Currently, R&M is driving the standardization of RJ45 modules for local area networks (LANs). By harmonizing the connection modules across the main LAN categories, installers will need fewer variants, fewer small parts, and fewer wiring steps at network distributors and outlets.
R&M outlines this initiative in detail in the magazine, underscoring how these seemingly simple plug-connection components have played a key role in the rise of Ethernet and IP-based data transmission. Since the 1990s, R&M has been a major force in shaping data-network connectivity technology.
The issue also covers network and server racks in data centers. Today’s racks are far more than just metal enclosures; they’re packed with smart technology and sensors that support power distribution, monitoring, security, and management.
This intelligence helps operators handle complex infrastructures more easily while improving data center efficiency and reliability.
R&M is also focused on speeding up Fiber to the Home (FTTH) rollouts. The company is simplifying fiber-optic cabling so entire regions can be supplied with high-speed broadband faster. Its approach preconfigure distributors, splice closures, connection boxes, and cables in advance. This lets construction teams deploy FTTH networks quickly and efficiently, with minimal on?site work.
In one of the magazine’s technical articles, R&M examines a recently promoted approach for expanding local data networks-one that makes it easier to extend transmission links in structured copper cabling.
