Understanding Polarity in MPO System
No CommentsMPO/MTP technology has led to the adoption of 40/100GbE, however on of its challenges is with regards to proper polarity of these array connections. Maintaining the correct polarity across a fiber network enables signals from any type of active equipment to be directed to the receive port of a second [ Continue reading…]
What Are They and How to Use MTP/MPO Cables
No CommentsWith ever-greater bandwidths and network connections to deal with in data centers, conventional dual-fiber patch cables like LC cable can no longer meet the demands. To solve this problem, MTP/MPO cables accommodating more fibers in one multi-fiber MTP/MPO connector came into the market, which proves to be practical solutions [ Continue reading…]

What is Direct Attached Cables(DAC)
No CommentsDirect Attach Cables(DAC) are a form of shielded high-speed cable with SFP connectors on either end (SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP+ modules). These are generally used to connect switches to routers, storage or servers within the same rack or adjacent racks. DAC cables are becoming increasingly popular, not just within data [ Continue reading…]
What are Active Optical Cables?
No CommentsThe proliferation of bandwidth-hungry applications such as 4K/8K/10K video, as well as augmented and virtual reality, are all fueling the need for reliable, faster data transmission between sources and displays. At lengths of 5 m and beyond, copper cables are simply no longer able to keep up with this [ Continue reading…]
