    • Colocation—Not Just for Data Centers
      Feature
      Members
      Justin W. Hobbs, RCDD, TECH, C.M., ACEThe concept of colocation can be explored beyond its traditional association with data centers. Colocation involves the placement of multiple entities in close proximity to share common facilities, thereby optimizing space and services and reducing overall costs. The concept of the “Imperative Trinity”—space, electrical infrastructure, and communication pathways—is expanded upon as crucial elements in designing colocation environments to enhance efficiencies and service offerings. The article also discusses the evolution of colocation, illustrating its application in various contexts, such as hotels, airports, and urban planning, highlighting its foundational role in maximizing resource utilization. Parallels are drawn with technological advancements like machine virtualization and passive optical networking, underscoring the concept’s broad applicability and impact across multiple industries.      20 min

    • Evolving Best Practices for Placement and Termination of Very High Fiber Count Cables in the Outside Plant
      COVER ARTICLE
      Members
      Jon FitzEmerging applications, such as 5G and hyperscale data centers, have triggered demand for higher fiber counts. These trends have led to the introduction of new very high fiber count (VHFC) cables. For today’s high-density projects, it is important for ICT professionals to understand the key properties of VHFC flexible ribbon cables, their most common applications, and how these cables should be placed and managed in splice closures.      15 min
