Currently, most of the data center are using OM3 and OM4 Multimode fiber to deploying 10G Ethernet. When we are updating from 40G and 100G, mostly we are using cost-effective QSFP-SR4 and QSFP28-SR4 Multimode transceivers with a multi-fiber interface. In the cabling infrastructure of the data center, abundant of duplex fiber and multi-fiber patch cord, […]
Which fiber cable to use? Which value to measure? Which length to get? This fact sheet provides practical answers without devoting to the theoretical background. Started fiber optic cable for data installations with OM1, now there is already OM5. Started Ethernet over fiber with 100BaseLX, now there are dozens of different protocols. What does the […]
Attenuation reduction of the signal magnitude or loss, caused by absorption and scattering Values are normally expressed in decibels (dB) Attenuator a passive device for reducing the amplitude of a signal without distorting the waveform Bidirectional a device, which operates in both directions Broadband Device optical broadband devices cover a wide range of wavelengths Center […]
On a transmission network, one cause of insertion loss on a fiber link is macro bending. This is commonly caused by tight installation or handling. As Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks lead to a significant increase of fiber installation in the last mile, the space constraints become increasingly stringent. This is driving the need for distributions hubs […]
ER-Telecom, one of the three largest Internet and pay TV providers in Russia, has deployed Ekinops’ 360 optical system to provide 100G DWDM wavelengths over its nationwide network. Stretching over a distance of more than 5,000km, ER-Telecom’s network serves 56 cities across eastern and southern Russia. The operator turned to Ekinops when it needed to […]
