GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) is a hot-swappable Gigabit Interface optical module with SC connector. A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a standard for transceivers, commonly used with Gigabit Ethernet and fiber channel. A variation of the GBIC called the small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP),also known as mini-GBIC, has the [ Continue reading…]
OTDR is the main instrument in the field of optical fiber testing technology. It is widely used in the maintenance and construction of optical cable lines. It can measure optical fiber length, optical fiber transmission attenuation, joint attenuation, and fault location. OTDR has the advantages of short test time, [ Continue reading…]
Hello everyone, today we will discuss with you the safety instructions before fiber optic testing. Some people may not understand why the safety instructions of the optical fiber should be emphasized. This is because once the operation is improper, it will not only cause irreversible damage to the naked [ Continue reading…]
With the wide application of the 10GbE technology in the commercial sector and the popularity of FTTH (fiber to the home), the cost of deploying a 10G network has been reduced to some extent. This trend has driven some home users to think about the upgrade of their current 1G [ Continue reading…]
Fiber patch cables are common assemblies seen in optical communications to link devices and network components. To ensure normal optical transmission and fiber durability, it is necessary to get familiar with the user instructions and precautions. This post will introduce the precaution for taking care of fiber patch cables from [ Continue reading…]
We know that any non-standard operation may result in implicit damage or even permanent failure. The installation and removing of SFPs are quite simple. However, you might need to refer to the datasheet or user manual of any new transceivers to familiarize yourself with its properties and the latching [ Continue reading…]
10G and 40G technologies have matured and occupied a large market during the past decade. While in recent years, 25G/50G/100G technologies are catching more and more attention and begin to stand out in future network deployments. These emerging Ethernet technologies are not simply designed to set a new higher speed [ Continue reading…]
When compared with traditional SONET or SDH, the next generation of DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is seen as a simple architecture with high scalability, capacity add/drop, multiple ring terminations, multi-services, and multiple fabrics. Then, on comparison of SONET vs SDH vs DWDM, what are their differences exactly? SONET [ Continue reading…]
Imagine turning a cottage into a majestic skyscraper without any innovation or construction. This is what Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) allows with your existing fiber optic network. Without deploying additional optical fiber, WDM network mux multiplexes multiple optical signal on a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths, which greatly relieves [ Continue reading…]
As the wide application of fiber optic system, optical light source plays a more and more important part in it. We known a basic optical fiber system consists of a transmitter, an optical fiber and a receiver. The fiber optic light source, as an important component of the transmitter is [ Continue reading…]
