Difference between CWDM and DWDM networks Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) has become increasingly popular in fiber-optics communications as it allows transmission of multiple signals onto a single optical fiber. WDM enables bidirectional (BiDi) communication over one strand of fiber by sending signals utilizing different wavelengths that can be spaced apart. WDM systems are very popular in… Read More
BiDi Transmission BiDi or bidirectional transmission relies on transceivers that have two different wavelengths in order to accommodate transmission in both directions on just one fiber. Unlike conventional optical transceivers which have two ports, BiDi transceivers only have one. Bidi transceivers are able to transmit signals in both directions by different center wavelength using wavelength… Read More

Light sources used for fiber optic transmission need to meet several criteria: they must be the right wavelength, be able to be modulated fast enough to transmit data and be efficiently coupled into fiber. Lasers have proven to be ideal light sources because of their high bandwidth capability and narrow spectral output. There are 3… Read More
Bandwidth requirements have led to an explosive growth in hyperscale datacenters. Cisco predicts that by 2020 global cloud IP traffic will meet or exceed 14 zettabytes. IP video traffic will account for 82 percent of all IP traffic. All this means that 100G and higher data centers are becoming the norm. The 100G QSFP28 transceiver… Read More

Fiber optic cables are now being used in a wider variety of applications than ever before. There are two types of fiber – Single Mode and Multi-Mode. Most people know that single mode fiber is more popular for longer distances while multi-mode is preferred for shorter links, but what is the real difference? We try… Read More
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

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
