Design of a fiber optic system is a balancing act. As with any system, you need to set criteria for performance and then determine how to meet those criteria. It’s important to remember that we are talking about a system that is the sum of its parts.

If you've heard the phrases "single frequency", "dual frequency" or "triple frequency" but don't know what they mean, we can help you understand it all.

The QSFP-DD is smaller in size, so its thermal capacity is only 7 to 12 watts. While the OSFP is larger in size, its thermal capacity can reach 12 to 15 watts.

Media converters are networking devices that convert Ethernet or other communication protocols from one cable type to another, commonly copper CATx/UTP to fiber. Their pair used to add a fiber segment to copper networks increases cable distance and resili

As we all know, 10G Ethernet is the current trend in data centers. 10GbE switches play a vital role in 10G Ethernet network solutions.

Breakout fiber cable also called fanout cable, is an optical fiber cable containing several jacketed simplex optical fibers packaged together inside an outer jacket.

With the rise of high data rate applications such as 5G and cloud computing, 200G and 400G Ethernet are gaining more and more attention in data centers. Data centers also find themselves at a fork in the road with infrastructure plans.

Ribbon cables offer higher fiber counts and greater fiber density than any other cable construction designed for the outside plant (OSP), four times the highest-fiber-count loose tube cable.

Connectors, also known as terminations, join cables together with safety connections, allowing pulses to pass through the cable without interruption.

Lots of customers have found the letters “CM”, “CMR” and CMP” in the product description when purchasing copper cables like Cat5e cable and Cat6 cable.

VLAN and Subnet are both developed to deal with segmenting or partitioning a portion of the network. And they also share such similarities as restricting broadcast domains or ensuring security through isolation of different sub-networks.

Fiber optic modems (or FOMs) connect electronic devices, such as computers, to a network or the Internet, providing electrical-to-optical conversion of electronic communications and data signals for transmission using tactical fiber optic cable
