There’s a lot to consider when building a fiber optic network. There are so many different ways to approach optical communication, and every device has its own list of pros and cons. In modern, dense networks, small form factors are a constant necessity. Without such interfaces, you simply can’t pack enough networking components into the
When you take transceiver modules, all of this will contain many abbreviations which may be quite confusing for you too. Some of the major abbreviations are SR, LR, LRM, ER, and ZR. In fact, these abbreviations tell you the characteristics of these modules. Let us have a look into some of this in detail. SFP-10G-SR vs SFP-10G-LR
A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver is a compact, hot-swappable, input/output transceiver used in data communication and telecommunications networks. SFP interfaces are generally used in almost all communication devices like switches, routers, and servers. SFP transceivers support communications standards including synchronous optical networking (SONET)(Standardized protocols that transfer multiple digital bit streams synchronously over optical fiber using lasers or
Everybody knows that what are fiber optics cables and types of fiber optic cables. Do you know that this category of cables can be divided based on their usage also? That is what we will speak in this article where categories are Lit fiber and Dark fiber. The simplest way of definition for this is that the fiber optic
In my previous article, we have seen different switching architectures that define the logical aspects used in a data center cabling. There is no doubt that fat tree architecture(leaf-spine architecture) is the most emerging one and 3-tier architecture has started to eliminate in many network environments. In a data center distribution of network equipment, the physical architecture is having a major
You know that in a data center environment there is a number of servers, storage devices, networking devices that are involved to provide the functionality as a data center. In order to provide the connectivity between all these devices isn’t it necessary to connect these devices into network and data transmission between these devices are
In my previous article, we have seen different types of fiber optics connectors. What if we can provide a more secure and reduce signal lose in at the tip(polish) of the connector? Isn’t it worth to implement that also when considering the importance of your data? Let us have a look into that concepts also
We have seen the basics of fiber optics and different types of fiber optic cables. But it is a sense of knowing that there will be two ends for fiber optic cables and each ends function will be to transfer/receive the data either to transceiver or other fiber optic cables. Isn’t it our duty to
In the previous article, we have seen the physical structure and basic principles of data transmission in fiber optics. Mainly there are two categories of fiber optic cables available in the market, Single mode fiber Multimode fiber When planning to build a fiber optic network, the first decision you often encounter is single-mode fiber or multimode fiber. Hopefully, I can make
In my previous article, we have seen different categories of copper twisted pair cables and its features(CAT 6, CAT 7, CAT 8, etc.). From this, we understood that in today’s world the most advanced twisted pair cable(CAT 8) can transfer the data at a speed of 40Gbps. Its good speed, right? Have you also noticed that twisted-pair
