What is Dark Fiber and Lit Fiber

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

Switching Infrastructures in a data center

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

Switching architectures in a data center

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

Polish Types in fiber optic connectors

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

Different types of fiber optic cable connectors

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

Single Mode and Multi-Mode Fiber Cables

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

Fiber optics cable design and data transmission

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

Categories of Copper Twisted Pair cables

In my previous article we have seen the classification of copper twisted pair cables. Let us have a look into different categories of twisted-pair cables available in the market. These categories are made based on technology advancements. Hence please be reminded that when the category goes up we are getting more advanced features and capability

Troubleshooting Network Connectivity Issues

In a real-time environment, I am pretty sure that 100% of network administrators have had a chance for troubleshooting network connectivity issues.  Most of the troubles might have shown different indications and you would have fixed it after spending a lot of time towards this. Let us see some of the most common symptoms that we
