This article lays out the current outlook for the 400G landscape by discussing the potential electrical interfaces and optical PMD architectures for both singlemode and multimode cabling infrastructures. Read the source article […]
I’m a proud bargain shopper. I love nothing more than getting a great product or service for a great price. I may put more effort into bargain hunting than most, but I […]
As the first article in this series introduced, the most critical aspect in a mission-critical data center is the life-safety measures it employs. The four standard systems that facilitate safe evacuation and […]
Data centers are not one-size-fits-all, so companies are increasingly looking to build facilities to custom specifications. These centers, often called build-to-suit data centers, enable firms to ensure they get the exact characteristics […]
Both current data center migrations and new builds are deploying MPO technologies with diverse density factors (8, 12, 24, 32 or 48 fibers) to allow technologies like 40/100G, with 400G deployments on […]
Tripp Lite’s Next-Gen OM5 Fiber Cable For fast, clear signal transmission through a local area network or storage area network, this new high-speed cabling provides a solution that’s ideal for high-speed parallel […]
The technology landscape is constantly evolving as high-tech is developed, old technologies improved, and new policies introduced. As the world races toward a 5G future, technology standards have become more important than […]
A new task force with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) on project 802.3cm was formed in March 2018 to fulfil two new multimode objectives for 400 Gb/s Ethernet operation:400GBASE-SR8 […]
Fiber Troubleshooting Tip: Use a visual fault locator (VFL) along with your OTDR to locate faults that are too close together for an TDR to properly isolate, or that are in the […]
Light Brigade surveys are designed to help us better understand what people are doing in the field. Watching for trends and understanding current practices helps us to design better course content and […]
