As WDM revolution has already occurred with unanticipated swiftness, WDM technology is largely used in a really fast manner, dramatically promoting the network for high-volume data transmission over a single fiber cable. Have you ever wondered how does WDM technology work? Whatrsquo;s the difference between CWDM and DWDM technology? Which one is the most suitable for your network? To better understand CWDM and DWDM technology, this post will study the working principle of WDM technology and analyze the detailed difference between CWDM and DWDM technology. The Working Principle of WDM Technology Have you ever heard about the working principle of the prism? When a white light beam with different wavelengths pass through the prism, there should be a light dispersion. It will be changed into several light beams and leave the prism at different angles, just like a rainbow. To the contrary, if several light beams with different wavelengths pass through the prism, it will be changed into a wh Fiber Optical Communication...

Introduction With the popularity of cloud computing and big data, the data throughput continually increases, which makes 40/100G Etheet network more commonplace and now become a prevalent trend for data-center. In order to keep pace with the rapidly developing network, there are a series of MPO/MTP products designed for the reliable and quick operations in high-density data centers, such as, MTP/MPO trunk cable, MTP/MPO haess cable and MPO/MTP cassette. Have you ever wondered what do MPO/MTP stand for? What are the functions of these MPO/MTP products? In this article, it will give the explanation for MPO/MTP and some commonly used MPO/MTP products for your reference. MPO/MTP Technology Overview The word MPO is also referred to as ldquo;Multiple-Fiber Push-On/Pull-offrdquo;, while MTP is a upgrade version of the former MPO, with better optical and mechanical performance. As a high-density, high-performance solution for data centers, MPO/MTP technology is deployed for multi-fiber app Fiber Optical Communication...

Introduction With the fast development of the optical network, the demand for wider bandwidth and faster data transmission rates over farther distances are increasing day by day, which makes more and more fiber cables need to be installed when the optical network is designed. However, once the available fiber infrastructure is exhausted and canrsquo;t meet the increasing communication need any more, laying more fibers would become an impracticable or uneconomical method. Thereby, new capacity for the network needs to be created. In order to solve this, experts try to fall back on two new methods to expand the capacity of our network: increasing system bitrate to multiplex more signals and using WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology. Comparison Between Increasing System Bitrate and Using WDM Technology It is well known that both increasing system bitrate to multiplex more signals and using WDM technology can expand the capacity of our network. But the fact is that WDM techno Fiber Optical Communication...

Nowadays, the demands for data transmission rate and data capacity become much higher than ever before, which makes 40G Etheet network more and more prevalent. Under this inevitable trend, 40G Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP+) transceiver is designed for 40G migration as the most economic and effective module. Do you have a good knowledge about 40G QSFP+ transceiver? Are you interested in upgrading your system into 40G Etheet network? If yes, there is an important and basic problem you need to consider and deal with before the migration. Which kind of fiber patch cable is the most suitable and cost-efficient for connecting your 40G QSFP+ transceiver? Importance of Fiber Patch Cable in 40G Network As we all know, switches are need to be connected so as to form the whole 40G transmission network. How to connect these switches? As a basic component in the connection, fiber patch cable plays an indispensable role in connecting 40G QSFP+ transceivers which are plugged in Etheet Fiber Optical Communication...

To meet the requirement of the fiber market, fiber optic patch cables have become more and more diverse which can be used for different applications. When choosing fiber optic patch cables, you might hear descriptions like SC to ST patch cable, LC to SC patch cable, LC to LC single mode fiber patch cable. Have you ever wondered what do LC, SC, ST stand for? Is there any difference between these types? In fact, these words refer to the different types of fiber optic connectors that are distinct from each other. The following will give the explanations for some commonly used fiber optic connectors, so that you can pick the right fiber optic connector for the sake of correct use. Fiber Optic Connector Overview The fiber optic connector is the device terminating the end of a fiber optic cable, which can be engaged and disengaged. In detail, it can connect the fiber optic equipment rigorously and conveniently without splicing, which is designed for maximally sending the light signal from op Fiber Optical Communication...

Great Challenge with Existing Multimode Patch Cables As we know, single mode fiber cables are suitable for 10 Gigabit Etheet due to its advantages of high speed and capacity. For instance, LC to LC single mode fiber patch cable and LC to SC single mode fiber patch cable, work with high-performance in 10 Gigabit Etheet. However, taking the manufacturing cost of single-mode patch cable into consideration, it still canrsquo;t be largely used in 10 Gigabit Etheet at present. How to lower the cost without loss of transmission quality? Is there another patch cable with low cost that can substitute for single-mode patch cable, so that it can be deployed in a cost-effective manner in todayrsquo;s fiber optic market? In order to solve this, researchers attempt to improve the performance of multimode patch cable to support 10 Gigabit Etheet.
