How to Extend a Network Port using Fiber

Sep 01, 2025
As projects continually increase in size, so do cable runs. In many applications, twisted pair connections are often remotely located and require extended lengths of cable — security cameras monitor outdoor locations, outbuildings connect to local area networks, remote rooms demand streaming media and gates require network connectivity. Twisted pair cable has a length limitation […]

Choosing an Outdoor Equipment Enclosure

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 […]

Connecting Twisted Pair Devices to a Fiber Optic Cable

Nov 22, 2024
While fiber optic ports are becoming increasingly common on networked electronics, the majority of connected devices still rely on RJ45 twisted pair connections. To help bridge the copper-fiber divide, media converters and transceiver modules (also known as SFPs or mini-GBICs) are often required. Media converters effectively convert one “media” format to a different media format — i.e., copper to fiber and […]

HDMI Extender Technology: DSC, HDBaseT or SDVoE?

Sep 19, 2024
Audio-visual extenders used to be simple. Choose a balun based on connector format, connect a twisted pair cable, and signals flow from point A to point B. At least that was the theory…. and it worked fine until HDMI and high-definition video came along. Today, baluns — those ubiquitous black boxes that balanced and transmitted […]
