I don’t usually spend a lot of time researching Ethernet switches. But I do think a lot about high-end data warehousing, and as I noted back in July, networking performance is a big challenge there. Among the very-large-scale MPP data warehouse software vendors, Greenplum is unusual in that its interconnect of choice is (sufficiently many) cheap 1 gigabit Ethernet switches. A recent Network World story suggested that Greenplum wasn’t alone in this preference; other people ...

To 802.11 or to RJ45 — the perennial question. My pal Jeremy is outfitting his new place, and is on the fence about a wireless or wired home network. As a former network engineer, it’s a question I can hardly resist. My take: wireless is great (and always necessary), but wire your home as much and as well as you can. Reasons not to rely solely on wireless: Inconsistent speed and range. Constant concern of ...

We put up with too many cables. There are at least four different kinds of USB plugs, two kinds of FireWire and like a million different ways to connect something to TV or monitor. Modern gadget life can be kind of retarded in this way. Why not one kind of cable, or just a couple? I don't know. But until everyone gets on the same appendage-to-hole scheme, in the meantime, you can use this: an ...

Filed under: Ports, Switches, Others If slinging HDMI signals over Ethernet sounds appealing to you, look no further than Octava's newest box. The HDMI over Ethernet extender enables users to transmit 1080p HDMI signals up to 150-feet over Ethernet (300-feet for 1080i), and while CAT6 is recommended, CAT5 should do the trick in a pinch. Of note, two Ethernet cables are necessary in order to carry audio / video as well as HDCP data, and ...

Firma ZyXEL wprowadziła nowy router do użytku domowego. Model NBG-318Sv2 można by zaliczyć do „normalnych” urządzeń sieciowych do użytku domowego, gdyby nie jeden fakt, że router możne przesyłać dane przez domową sieć elektryczną 230V. Router pozwala na tworzenie sieci w trzech technologiach: Ethernet, WLAN 802.11b/g oraz HomePlugAV. Wykorzystanie infrastruktury energetycznej w domu pozwala na przesyłanie danych [...]

Your house is wired for networking and you probably don't even know it. Wires are wires, and the ones that give you power outlets every six feet aren't much differen than the ones connecting your modem to your network. They're already in the walls and can carry data as well as power, so think about using this Belkin Ethernet-to-powerline conversion hub to let you utilize the wiring you already have, converting the digital signals from ...

Looking to share USB devices across your home network? Got $80? Then pick up the IOGEAR USB Net ShareStation. The product’s website says, “Users may not achieve optimum audio/video streaming performance when connecting to the USB Net ShareStation through a wireless Ethernet router,” but I loaded up a 1080p WMV file and streamed it via wireless just fine. You can hook up external drives, a 4-port USB hub, a webcam, a printer, or just about ...

Filed under: Ports, Switches If you've been on the hunt for a multifaceted extender to handle just a bit more than HDMI, look no further. Gefen's HDMI RS-232 Extender is able to casually transmit HDMI, RS-232 control commands and IR signals up to 150-feet at 1080p (300-feet at 1080i) over standard CAT5 cabling. As expected, the device is HDCP-compliant, and it'll play nice with any IR unit you feel like attaching. Unfortunately, such convenience demands ...

Vodafone has announced that it’s struck a five year deal with BT which will see BT’s wholesale arm providing connectivity between Voda’s base stations and its own network. According to the two companies, the deal comes off the back of predicted demand for high bandwidth mobile applications like photo sharing and downloading music. The deal will see Vodafone linked up to BT’s 21st Century Network-enabled Ethernet service, which the telco says will mean backhaul speeds ...
