December 10, 2015Lightwave Staff Google Fiber says it has "invited" Chicago and Los Angeles to discuss bringing the company's gigabit broadband services to their cities. Adding the two cities a€“ the largest with which Google Fiber has eng…
Various copper and fiber choices are available on the market today. When deciding a cabling system, network managers should know how to choose the most appropriate cabling system for their network infrastructure in the long run. Many of th…
10GBASE SFP+ module, a 10GbE optics using the same physical form factor as a gigabit SFP, is a new protocol that will support the link lengths of a standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multi-mode fiber (MMF). When using t…
QSFP active optical cable (AOC) is a high performance, low power consumption, long reach interconnect solution supporting 40G Ethernet, fiber channel and PCIE. It is widely used in many fields as well as promoting the traditional data cent…
There is no question that we live in a high-speed world. Active optical cable (AOC), especially parallel multi-lane cables using QSFP+ modules, is one of the most important devices used by high-speed interconnects, such as InfiniBand, and …
December 14, 2015Author Stephen HardyEditorial Director and Associate Publisher UK fiber-optic network services provider CityFibre says it has acquired the national fiber-optic network infrastructure and ductwork of KCOM for £90 million (…
10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) is a group of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 10 gigabits per second. There are several kinds of optical transceiver modules used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Small for…
A quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) cable is a fiber optic cable capped at either end with the QSFP+ transceiver, which is designed for data rates up to 40Gb/s supporting Fibre Channel, Ethernet, Infiniband standards and so on.…
The 802.3ba Ethernet standard introduced by the IEEE in June 2010 was in response to the increasing bandwidth demands facing data centers, paving the way for the introduction of 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet operations. As you begin to think…
Transmission speeds are continuing to rise as consumers demand ever higher performance from a variety of communications devices. If you are thinking about upgrading your server network connections, you may want to know about an emerging pl…
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid - Oficina de Información CientíficaJanuary 19, 2015 Optic fiber is normally used in the field of telecommunications to transmit information using light, but a group of researchers developed a technique that…
Many modern optical transceivers utilize two fibers to transmit data between switches, firewalls, servers, routers, etc. One fiber is dedicated to receiving data from networking equipment, and the other is to transmit data to the networkin…
