What Ethernet Standards can be used with SFP+ ?
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com The enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) is an enhanced version of the SFP that supports data rates up to 16 Gbit/s. The SFP+ specification was first published on May 9, 2006, and version 4.1 published on July 6, 2009. SFP+ supports 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and [ Continue reading…]
The Application of 100BASE-X SFPs Transceiver
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com In computer networking, Fast Ethernet is a collective term for a number of Ethernet standards that carry traffic at the nominal rate of 100 Mbit/s (the original Ethernet speed was 10 Mbit/s). Fast Ethernet is sometimes referred to as 100BASE-X, where “X” is a placeholder for the FX [ Continue reading…]
The development of optical transceivers and their future
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Nowadays, when we look at the product- and funcionalityrange of optical transceivers , we owe it to a long technical development. Since the beginning, all transceiver specifications are defined under non-proprietary standards of the Multisource Agreement (MSA) of the SFF Committee. This allows intercomptability of products from [ Continue reading…]
What Is The Difference Between Singlemode SFP and Multimode SFP
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com There are two types of SFP transceivers, Single-mode SFP and Multi-mode SFP, both work with a different kind of optical fiber. The Single-mode (also known as Mono-mode) fibers are used with Single-mode SFP transceivers, whereas Multi-mode optical fibers are used with Multi-mode SFP transceivers. Let’s discuss the difference [ Continue reading…]
Can I reduce my network costs by using Cisco compatible transceivers and cables?
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Network equippers such as the Cisco Company are designed to bind their customers and move them to purchase only Cisco distributed hardware. In this case, the buyer is urged that only official Cisco components will work. In fact, some hardware (such as the Cisco Catalyst series) refuses to [ Continue reading…]
What interconnection solutions are available for QSFP28?
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com The Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver. The data rates are from 4×1 Gb/s for QSFP and 4×10 Gbit/s for QSFP+ and to the highest rate of 4×28 Gbit/s known as QSFP28[3] used for 100 Gbit/s links. The QSFP28 standard is designed to carry 100 Gigabit [ Continue reading…]
What is a tunable DWDM Transceiver and how does it work?
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com We may ask why the tunable transceiver is available only for DWDM systems. That is happening because the frequency separation in CWDM systems is too wide in compared with the narrow band gap of DWDM systems. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) refers originally to optical signals multiplexed within the [ Continue reading…]
The Main Application of Optical Switch
By Fiber-mart No Comments
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Optical switches are an integral part in fiber optic transmission systems and contribute to the development of the “all-optical” network. An optical switch is simply a switch which accepts a photonic signal at one of its ports and send it out through another port based on the routing decision [ Continue reading…]
