MPO or MTP terminated cables are widely used in high density cabling environments like data centers. Traditional, tight-buffered multi-fibre cable needs to have each fiber individually terminated by a skilled technician. MPO cable which carries multiple fibers, comes pre-terminated. Factory terminated MPO / MTP connectors  commonly have either 12 fiber or 24 fiber array. People… Read More

Silicon photonics has been getting much interest lately. In simple terms, silicon photonics is building advanced optical components with silicon materials and related CMOS manufacturing technology. Datacom is by the far the most important application for silicon photonics. Other emerging applications include gas/chemical sensors, circuit-level interconnects, video connectivity devices, and automotive lidars. Traditionally optical components have… Read More

Optical multiplexers (muxes) and demultiplexers (demuxes) form the foundation of DWDM networks deployed by the telecommunications industry. In addition to their use at terminal points, mux/demux components are also used as building blocks of advanced network elements such as optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs) and optical-crossconnect switches. This post talks about different mux technologies currently used… Read More

Reducing cable congestion in constrained spaces is an important factor in designing fiber systems for data centers and large enterprise equipment rooms and data centers. Network designers turn to multi-fiber MTP/MPO cabling to overcome this challenge. Ensuring correct polarity across the system becomes more complex with higher data rates. TIA-568 standard has approved 3 methods… Read More

100G QSFP28 transceivers use different optical technologies to transmit data to different distances. Shorter reaches typically use Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers(VCSELs) and longer reaches use Electro-absorption modulated lasers (EMLs) or Directly Modulated Lasers (DMLs). The recent shortage of EML lasers in the market forced design engineers to come up with an alternate solution for… Read More

Why is the 100G QSFP28 transceiver the best choice for 100G networks?   This past year has seen a remarkable growth in 100G deployments fueled primarily by hyperscale datacenters and cloud services. IHS Infonetics reports that by 2019, 100-gigabit-per-second (100G) Ethernet will make up more than 50 percent of data center optical transceiver transmissions. The different… Read More

Technology moves so rapidly, it’s tough for a lot of people to keep up with all the various bits and pieces that make it work. Nobody’s born knowing everything, so we’re offering this brief explanation of optical transceiver chips and the role they play in making photonics – our specialty – happen. What is an… Read More

There’s a reason fiber optic data communications is a rapidly growing area – you and your data usage.  Let’s face it, the internet is now ubiquitous.  It’s everywhere and everyone is using it. Our data requirements have grown as exponentially as our use of the technology.  That requires increased speed and capacity.  What’s next in… Read More

The difference between Cat5E and Cat6 cables – a few thoughts. The most important distinction between these two types of cable is the fact that the Cat6 is the latest generation.  That means your capacity is grown when you choose the  Cat6.  It supports 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet) as opposed to only 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), so… Read More

Simplex vs. duplex, the difference – it’s all about direction. Choosing the right fiber optic cables for your set up depends on what effect you’re hoping to achieve.  Fiber optic cables allow your devices to communicate, but how do you want that to happen?  That’s where the rubber meets the road, when discerning the answer… Read More
