How to Install a QSFP28 Transceiver
No CommentsIn recent years, QSFP28 transceivers have been highly favored by many Ethernet users. The modules are hot-swappable input/output (I/O) device that connect the system’s module port electrical circuity with either a copper or a fiber-optic network. Transceiver installation attaches great importance to the whole Ethernet connectivity. This article provides [ Continue reading…]
Comparison of Passive DWDM and Active DWDM System
No CommentsDWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) technology is an ideal solution to address the capacity-hungry issue, which can simply fall into two types, passive DWDM and active DWDM. To greatly expand the bandwidth of the existing fiber system, both passive DWDM and active DWDM systems are designed to multiplex different wavelengths [ Continue reading…]
What Are MPO Fiber Connectors?

It has been widely used in many projects and plays an important role in the optical fiber transmission system. In order to give full play to the role of MPO fiber connector in engineering applications, technicians should pay [ Continue reading…]
BiDi Fiber Optic Transceiver Overview
No CommentsAs 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 equipment, while the other is to transmit data to the equipment. With the development of [ Continue reading…]
Mode Conditioning Patch Cable Testing
No CommentsMode Conditioning Patch Cable Basics Mode conditioning patch cables, sometimes also called mode conditioning patch cord (MCP), are built in the form of a simple duplex patch cable. They are designed for Gigabit Ethernet multimode applications at the 1300nm wavelength. Generally, this patch cord consists of a duplex common connector [ Continue reading…]
Attaching More Importance to Fiber Optic Adapter
No CommentsFiber optic adapter is a small but critical, part of hardware in the fiber optic cabling system. Available for more than a decade, the fiber optic adapter has been a relatively stable device with no really revolutionary breakthrough in its technology, and its importance is often overshadowed by connectors, [ Continue reading…]
Two Suggestions for Deploying SFP+ Twinax Cable
No CommentsHave you ever used the Cisco SFP+ twinax copper cable for connecting Cisco switches, as a cost-effective alternative to Cisco SFP+ transceivers for short-distance, high-speed connection? Or choosing other branded SFP+ twinax cables to connect their corresponding devices? In fact, SFP+ twinax cable becomes much more popular than ever [ Continue reading…]
