Network Installation Is Getting Easier

The R&M specialist magazine CONNECTIONS 70 reports on solutions for LANs, data centers and Fiber to the Home

Fremont, April 15, 2026. R&M, the globally active Swiss developer and provider of high-end infrastructure solutions for data and communications networks, is further simplifying network installation. The latest R&M specialist magazine CONNECTIONS 70 presents solutions for local data networks. The publication also provides information on new solutions for data networks in industry, infrastructures in data centers, and the simplified expansion of broadband networks.

R&M is currently focusing on the standardization of RJ45 modules. The connection modules for the main categories of local area networks (LAN) will be harmonized. In the future, installers will require fewer variants, small parts and working steps in the wiring of network distributors and outlets. R&M provides details of this standardization in its specialist magazine. The inconspicuous components for plug connections in data networks have made history by playing a decisive role in the spread of Ethernet/IP-based data transmission. R&M has had a significant influence on connectivity technology for data networks since the 1990s.

Among other things, R&M product managers provide information about network and server racks in data centers in the specialist magazine. Today’s racks are more than just tin boxes. They are packed full of intelligent technology and sensors for power distribution, monitoring, security and management. This helps operators to effectively manage complex infrastructures and improve the efficiency and availability of the data center.

How can FTTH be rolled out faster?

R&M also wants to further simplify fiber optic cabling so that entire regions can be supplied more quickly with Fiber to the Home (FTTH). R&M recommends that network providers have the distributors, splice closures, connection boxes and cables preconfigured. With this solution, construction teams can roll out FTTH projects quickly and efficiently.

In one of the specialist articles, R&M explores an approach for expanding local data networks that has been widely promoted recently. This approach ensures that the transmission links in structured copper cabling can be easily extended. R&M contrasts this with the advantages of tried-and-tested, standards-based and non-application-specific cabling.
