«Class» means something completely different than «category». The class (or category link in American English) always applies to the installed link, the category as such applies only to one single component, e.g. the cable or the outlet; the component is tested and verified by either the labs of the manufacturer or independent verification labs. […]
IEEE defines 40G and 100G Ethernet in two different standards, respectively are IEEE 802.3ba and IEEE 802.3bm. 1. IEEE 802.3ba defines both data rates (40GBE and 100GBE) simultaneously. While the singlemode versions operate on two fibers using an LC-Duplex connector, the multimode versions for both speeds are based on multiple (four or ten) data streams […]
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 […]
The Telecommunications Industry Association TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems Engineering Committee approved the TIA-942-B Data Center Cabling Standard. To help data centers address current and future needs, the updated standard includes several substantial changes from the previous version. TIA represents the companies that supply high-tech communications networks and is a global leader in developing industry standards […]
1G and 10G data rates are not adequate to meet the future needs of high-bandwidth appli- cations. The requirement for higher data rates is being driven by many factors. Switching and routing, virtualization, convergence and high-performance computing environments are examples of where these higher network speeds will be required within the data center environment. Additionally, […]
Une fibre optique est un fil en verre ou en plastique très fin qui a la propriété d’être un conducteur de lumière et sert dans la transmission de données par la lumière. Elle offre un débit d’information nettement supérieur à celui des câbles coaxiaux et peut servir de support à un réseau « large bande […]
