What are internal controls and why are they important? Internal controls are the procedures put in place to help achieve the objectives of the university relating to financial, strategic, and academic initiatives. Good controls encourage efficiency, compliance with laws, regulations and university policies, and seek to eliminate fraud and abuse. Some everyday internal control procedures include:
Standard Fiber Optic Cable. Sealed with a Teflon jacket over a stainless steel sheath, Williamson's standard fiber optic cables are available in lengths of 3 - 30 feet (1-9 meters). Cable diameter is .25 in. (6.5mm) with a lens assembly that is 3.05 in. long x 0.5 diameter (77mm x 14mm). They are suitable for most general purpose applications.
But where customers use 100Gbps Ethernet, both fiber-optic links and copper technology appears. Copper tends to be cheaper, but fiber optics can reach farther. With today's 40Gbps and 100Gbps standard, copper cables can be a maximum of 5 meters long, and making them shorter raises practical concerns. The objective of the new group will be to build a consensus about how fast the next-gen Ethernet should be.
