A SFP (small form-factor pluggable) is a small transceiver that plugs into the SFP port of a network switch and connects to Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) optical fibre cables at the other end. By choosing the appropriate optical module, the same electrical port on the switch can connect to fibres of [...]
Cisco introduces a new range of wireless access points external and internal installation, specifically designed for small businesses of all shapes and sizes. Industry experts estimate that by 2020 the world will be 26.3 billion networked devices, the average connection speed of which is 24 Mbit / s. In this case, not only will [...]
Fiber optic cleaning is highly recommended for all fiber optic connectors in a data center in order to reduce link failures and unnecessary replacement of expensive and critical network components and equipment. As an important component in a fiber link, the interface of fiber optic transceiver should also be cleaned. This tutorial is a cleaning [...]
Where we’ve been In 2010, the IEEE 802.3ba project completed the first three standards for 100G Ethernet: 100G - SR10, 100G - LR4 and 100G - ER4, with reaches of 100m, 10km and 40km respectively. The 802.3bm Task Force added 100G - SR4, but in 2013 was unable to reach consensus on a 500m [...]
Fiber To The X (FTTx) is different from a traditional fiber optic network that would be used for a local area network (LAN) application. In most FTTx applications, only one optical fiber is used. That single optical fiber passes data in both directions. This is very different from a LAN application where the transmit optical [...]
Fiber optic transceivers can be classified into different categories based upon the nature of the fiber optic transceivers. The classification can be determined by a number of factors. The factors may range depending upon the type of transceiver and the application for which it's intended. For example, the transfer distance may be a criterion for [...]
Datalinks A fiber optic datalink is a communications subsystem that connects inputs and outputs (I/O) from electronic subsystems and transmits those signals over optical fiber. In this function, a fiber optic datalink operates as an alternative to copper cabling or a wireless subsystem. In typical applications, a fiber optic datalink acts as a communications [...]
