F-Tube Certified Installer Course Overview
Data centre networking requirements are becoming ever more critical and are increasing in speed from 100Mbps to 1Gbps to 10Gbps and beyond. This places a great demand on the supporting infrastructure which must enable the fibreoptic cables carrying the data to be easily upgraded to meet this changing demand.
F-Tube is such a system, which will enable data centre owners and operators to future proof their network infrastructure and thereby minimise the cost and disruption of adds, moves and changes.
