When a connector is mounted on the fiber end, some loss of power will be experienced. Some of the light would be reflected back to the fiber towards the source that generated that light signal. These reflected back signals into the fiber are called Optical Return Loss (ORL). The ORL [ Continue reading…]
Fiber patch cord is seeing broad adoption in applications spanning telecommunication and data communication. With numerous business and enterprise reaping great benefits from it, fiber patch cord represents by far the most sufficient and prevalent bandwidth feeder. As those gigabit-capable networks proliferate, the fueling capacity and speed quest further drive [ Continue reading…]
Achieving efficient cable management is the dream of every IT technician, and this is where a patch panel comes in handy. A Cat6 patch panel realizes the connection, scheduling, and allocation of cable links. Through this article, you will get a thorough understanding of the patch panels. How does [ Continue reading…]
In the past years,data center technologies and cabling structures have changed a lot ,driven by the growing bandwidth needs. “High density” apparently becomes a keyword of data center. To bring service to market quickly, data center has to install more and more fiber optic cables in given space, which [ Continue reading…]
This might be an interesting topic of discussion to a few engineers engaged in fiber optic cable design. We don’t intend to provide any mathematical formula used in the fiber optic cable design in this post, but this may show you the trend in optical fiber cable design around the [ Continue reading…]
As an extension of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) is a technology that multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber through the use of different wavelengths (i.e., colors) of laser light. A CWDM SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver is [ Continue reading…]
In today’s data center communications, individual streams routinely reach 10 Gbps speeds, and it is necessary to have 40GbE links to provide better performance. Such high-performance, high-density 40 Gbps network devices such as Juniper Networks switches, when equipped with LX4 optics, seamlessly enable this transition. This article introduces Juniper QSFP+ [ Continue reading…]
People are always amazed by the fast development of optical communication. Fiber optic transceiver, a small-size but important component, can best represent the advancing of the optical communication industry. The form factor of optical transceiver has changed from GBIC for Gigabit Ethernet to SFP+ for 10GbE, QSFP+ for 40GbE and [ Continue reading…]
Although the 10 Gigabit Ethernet system has become the dominant deployment in telecommunication market, there are still many 1GbE infrastructures existing in today’s networks. SFP optical transceiver, as a critical component to support 1G data transmission, is also increasingly required in most Gigabit Ethernet networks. Many vendors, like Cisco, one [ Continue reading…]
The increasing demand for bandwidth and fast speed have driven the advent of 40G and 100G application on the market. As the increasing created data needs amount of cables and devices to achieve the transmission, which could be a headache for IT manager to create a high-density data center. To [ Continue reading…]
