With the increase of network throughput, 40GbE network has become widespread and 100GbE is also extensively deployed. Under this circumstance, traditional LC cabling can not meet the high speed and high density demand of the data center. Therefore, achieving higher transmission rates and finding suitable solutions for high density cabling become the top priority. The…
How Much Do You Know About Gigabit Ethernet Switch?
In computer networking, an Ethernet switch connects multiple devices, such as computers, servers, or game systems, to a Local Area Network (LAN). Small business and home offices often use an Ethernet switch to allow more than one device to share a broadband Internet connection. A gigabit Ethernet switch operates in the same way, only differentiating…
A Glance At Cisco Single Mode SFP Specification
SFP(small form-factor pluggable) transceivers compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for bothtelecommunication and data communications applications. They are an interface with a motherboard, router, switch or optical media converter. Link connection into a fiber optic or copper cabling. SFP transceivers are designed to support SONNET, Fiber Channel, Gigabit Ethernet or similar standards. There are both multi-mode and…
Getting to Know Cost-Effective ADSS Cable
ADSS cable (all-dielectric self-supporting cable) is a type of optical cable that contains no conductive metal elements. It is used as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission lines and often shares the same support structures. ADSS cable is adopted for high voltage, middle, small span conditions in Power Transmission System or mazy terrain,…
SFP-10G-SR vs. SFP-10G-SR-S
SFP-10G-SR is a popular 10G SFP+ optical transceiver in terms of quantity used. It is considered as the mainstream form factor of the 2017 market due to its matured technology and reduced price, even although 40G/100G optical modules are on the very top trend for enterprise and data center for the interconnection. But two years…
What Does Combo SFP Port Mean For Your Ethernet Switch?
To many noobs who are unfamiliar with the structure and functionality of Ethernet switches may get confused with Combo SFP ports. Combo SFP ports are often labeled obviously. You may have some questions in your mind like what is Combo port and how should I use with it. Since there are many Gigabit Ethernet ports…
Single Mode Fiber Jumper VS. Multimode Fiber Jumper : How to Choose?
Fiber jumper, sometimes called fiber patch cord or fiber optic cable is a length of fiber cabling fitted with LC, SC, MTRJ or ST connectors at each end. The LC connector is most commonly used. Fiber jumpers also have different varieties. You can choose one type of connector on one end and another type on…
Introduction To 10GBASE-T SFP+ Transceiver From Different Manufactures
10GBASE-T is an Ethernet specification using a copper twisted pair connection (Cat6a or Cat7) with an effective bandwidth of 10 Gbit/s and a maximum transmission distance of up to 100 meters. Compared with other 10G optical modules, the 10GBASE-T SFP+ copper RJ45 transceiver has stable performance, you can take full advantage of the existing copper…
Copper Cabling Choices For 10GbE
As switching standards is growing maturer and copper cabling standards catch up, the use of copper cabling for 10GbE is becoming more and more popular. Currently, there are four different copper cabling technologies for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, each with its pros and cons. Although fiber (SFP+ optics) delivers the lowest latency and feature flexibility, many…
