Networking may be straightforward, but the world of networking terminology is not. Even when you've been steeped in business of Ethernet for many years, you may still get confused by some of the terms. What are 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-TX a…

In optical fiber communication field, optical transceiver module is very important and widely used by communication systems and local area networks (LANs) built in big companies for both conversion and transmission functions. Receiving the…

Born in the 1970s, Ethernet technology has continually evolved in order to meet the never-ending requirement for faster rates of data transmission. Data carrying techniques have also evolved quickly to meet the demand for faster applicatio…

The most common passive optical network (PON) standards in current use are Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) and gigabit passive optical network (GPON). GPON is the most widely deployed optical system in today's fiber-to-the-home (FT…

An OTDR uses the effects of Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection to measure the characteristics of an optical fiber. It locates defects and faults, and determines the amount of signal loss at any point in an optical fiber, and it can…

Knowing when to use a single-mode fiber optic cable is very necessary for people who want to design a reliable and sustainable optical network. There are advantages of using single-mode fiber optic cable. Here is what you need to consider …

In a fiber optic system, it is essential to join two fibers together with low signal attenuation while maintaining low reflection levels. Fiber optic connectors are used as the mechanical and optical means for cross connecting fibers and l…

A transceiver is a device comprising both a transmitter and a receiver which are combined and share common circuitry or a single housing. Transceiver modules are essential in a telecommunication system. There are a lot of fiber optic trans…
