As demand for faster, more reliable data transmission continues to rise, fiber optic networking has become the gold standard for high-speed internet and IP-based control. But deploying fiber requires more than just the cables — a range of electronics are essential to translate, switch, and transmit data across the network. This article explores the electronics […]

Choosing an Outdoor Equipment Enclosure

Category: Signal Distribution, Connectivity, Cable Jun 08, 2025

Integrations rarely stay indoors. Outdoor living spaces demand AV and internet, security cameras extend to the edges of properties, automated gates require connectivity, and remote buildings rely on network access. All of these connections drive the need for outdoor equipment enclosures. Future Ready Solutions’ partner Altelix designs and manufactures a wide variety of weatherproof equipment […]

Choosing a Fiber Optic Enclosure

Category: Connectivity, Fiber Jun 07, 2025

Fiber optic enclosures are a necessary component of any optical-based installation. They protect fiber cables and connections, transition between different cable types, neatly organize incoming and outgoing cables, maintain minimum bend radiuses, provide consolidated points of system maintenance, and allow for future expansion and system scaling. Ultimately, leveraging a fiber enclosure improves signal integrity and […]

HDMI 2.2 & Beyond: What it Means for the AV Industry
