The enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) is an enhanced version of the SFP that supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s. This specification was first introduced in May 2006 and has been entering designs since its introduction. More and …

SFP, SFP+, and XFP are all terms for a type of transceiver that plugs into a special port on a switch or other network device to convert the port to a copper or fiber interface. These compact transceivers replace the older, bulkier GBIC in…

There are many types of transceivers to support different types of fiber connections. Which transceiver is the right one for your application? The answer largely depends on how far your connections need to travel. When looking at transceiv…

In computer networking, we know that 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE or 10GbE) refers to various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 10 gigabits per second, first defined by the IEEE 802.3ae-2002 standard. To meet a wide v…

As 10 Gigabit Ethernet broadly rolls out and increasing numbers of enterprises begin the process of evaluating network upgrades, numerous physical-layer interconnects are available to address 10Gbit/s data transmission. These include 10GBA…

Fiber optic patch cord is a fiber optic cable capped at both ends with fiber optic connectors to allow it to be rapidly and conveniently connected to telecommunication equipment and to achieve accurate and precise connections. Fiber optic …

Just as 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) technologies have changed, so have the cabling technologies that support them and the devices that connect the cabling to their network. Optical transceivers provide the interface between the equipment s…

In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet is a term describing various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second, as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. As a type of wiring for Gigabit Ethernet, yo…

The 1000BASE designation is an IEEE shorthand identifier. The "1000" in the media type designation refers to the transmission speed of 1000 Mbps. The "BASE" refers to baseband signaling, which means that only Ethernet signals are carried o…

Fiber optic patch cord, also known as fiber optic patch cable or fiber jumper, is a fiber optic cable terminated with fiber optic connectors on its both ends. According to fiber cable structures, fiber optic patch cords can be divided into…

MTP stands for multi-fiber termination push-on. MTP connector is designed as a high-performance version of the multi-fiber push on (MPO). The two terms both are used for fiber-optic cabling, and they are often used interchangeably. MTP/MPO…
