Connectivity Considerations for 10G Ethernet

The exploding demand for Internet access to web-based applications, as well as integrated multimedia applications, has fueled the need for higher-bandwidth networks. 10G Ethernet, which takes the advantages of fast data transmission, good …

BiDi Fiber Optic Transceiver Overview

As we all know, common optical transceivers, like SFP+, SFP, normally require two fibers to achieve data transmission between switches, firewalls, servers, routers, etc. The first fiber is dedicated to receiving data from networking equipm…

Twisted Pair Cable VS. Coaxial Cable VS. Fiber Optic Cable

As we all know, in every communication system, all the sending and receiving devices, like fiber optic switch, need to adopt massive bundles of wires or cables to achieve connections for data transfer. Nowadays, the most common cable types…

Introduction to Single-mode Fiber Patch Cable

As we all know, fiber optic patch cable plays a vital and significant role to achieve connectivity between optical equipment in telecommunication field. According to different fiber core diameter, there exist two types of fiber patch cords…

Fiber Optic Attenuator Overview

As we all know, a fiber optic amplifier is often installed where optical signals are weak and need to be enlarged. But what if there is too much power level of an optical signal which should be reduced? To solve this issue, fiber optic att…

How to Easily Upgrade Your Network to 40G Ethernet

The increasing need for higher bandwidth and faster data transmission drives the evolution of network Ethernet. 40G Ethernet is gradually becoming commonplace in telecommunication networks, as 10G cannot satisfy the never-stopping longing …

40G QSFP+ AOC Overview

There is no doubt that we live in a high-speed world. From fast food to the way we walk from one place to another, everything is seemingly done as quickly as possible. So does the data transmission. The speed of data transmission has evolv…

In-Depth Look at the Fiber Optic Connector

In all fiber optic system, it is necessary to join two fibers together with low signal attenuation while maintaining low reflection levels depending upon the type of system used. Fiber optic connectors are used as the mechanical and optic …

Choosing 24-Fiber MPO/MTP Cabling for 40/100G Migration

In 2002, the IEEE ratified the 802.3ae standard for 10GbE over duplex fibers (one fiber transmits and the other receives) terminated with duplex LC-style connectors and vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) transceivers. With the …
