As networks evolve, we know that you, our Partners, are under more pressure to help your customers adapt. There have been plenty of changes in the office environment since the emergence of Category 6 cable 20 years ago. While all connectivity was previously for computers, printers and other IT devices (and later IP phones), today’s office is likely to include IoT and Operational Technology (OT) devices such as sensors, building (HVAC) automation systems, intelligent lighting and cameras. Ideally, IT, IoT and OT devices should be cabled and managed on the same converged network.

You can trust in the strength and innovation of our SYSTIMAX® end-to-end fiber and copper portfolio. It delivers the consistent performance, bandwidth and flexibility that helps you keep your customers networks reliable, efficient and up to date.

This presentation will discuss the rise of IoT and OT technology in office spaces, the technology demands of next-generation Wi-Fi, IoT and OT devices and how Category 6A cabling can deliver a converged network that supports them all. The presentation covers the following topics:

• IT, IoT and OT – it’s not your father’s network anymore
• How new office technologies change network requirements – speed, reach and power
• Converging IT, IoT and OT networks on Category 6A cabling – strategies and architecture
