Senko – At the speed of Light

In today’s world with ever increasing demands on bandwidth from 5G, Data Centres, Edge computing and IoT, the highest quality optical interconnects have never been more fundamental to ensuring systems work to their highest capacity. In Senko you have a trusted partner from our engineering, design & manufacturing capabilities to being able to work with our customers to create the correct solutions for their requirements.

our connectors into our IP range for harsh environments. From our standard IP connector range we have developed our new IP-9 connector which is our smallest IP rated connector at just 20mm across the front of the IP housing. This will house either a single SC, two fibres with 1.25mm ferrules or multi fibre by housing an MPO, which allows for more density and flexibility in external installations. Moving through our IP connector range up to the IP-21 & IP-25 we can also offer hybrid connectors which offer optical connectivity and power in one housing which

As well as utilising the best quality connectivity in any network the quality of the installation is also of paramount importance so at Senko, we also have our Smart Probe 2

At ECOC this year Senko is showing how we incorporate

New DOCSIS 3.1 Gateways with Wi-Fi from Commscope

CommScope has added two Wi-Fi 6 gateways for home networks to its portfolio— the Touchstone TG9452 and DG9450 DOCSIS 3.1 cable gateways. Both gateways deliver the full multi-gigabit potential of DOCSIS 3.1, capable of up to 5Gbps downstream and 1Gbps upstream. The TG9452 and DG9450 gateways are intended to serve as the hub of the subscriber’s home or business network, connecting all IP-capable

devices throughout the customer’s premises. The

three Ethernet ports, one supporting 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and a MoCA 2.0 port for home networking. Where additional coverage is required, the TG9452 and DG9450 gateways may be supplemented with the X5 Wi-Fi 6 extender to deliver high-performance, managed Wi-Fi coverage throughout the home. CommScope’s gateways also support SNMP and TR-069 remote management protocols for reducing service providers costs.

TG9452 telephony gateway (part of Mediacom Communications’ 10G trial) enables the delivery of data, voice and video services, while the DG9450 gateway supports data and video. Both have 4×4 802.11ax dual- band wireless radios, offering superior Wi-Fi performance in dense environments, with high data rates over Wi-Fi at an increased range. For multigigabit connectivity around the house, both provide
