Researchers in South Korea have developed ultra-fast transmitting/receiving optical engine that can provide stable and improved data transfer speed for data centers. The new technology sends eight times as much data as conventional methods in each linecard/server. It is expected to contribute to solving data traffic congestion in data centers where the demand for fast data speed has increased due to high-definition video content and services using artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Until recently, multimode transceivers were orders of magnitude less expensive than their single-mode counterparts, making multimode the fiber of choice for many enterprise network designers. Today, the cost of single-mode transceivers has come down significantly, making the increased bandwidth and longer distances made possible by single-mode fiber much more attractive. This presentation covers: Reasons to include single-mode fiber in the enterprise network; What you need as an IT Manager and what is expected as an installer; Choices and recommendations on fiber cabling, connectors, termination and migration options; and Cleaning, testing and maintenance to ensure system longevity and performance.
This webinar will focus on how you can prepare for successful commissioning and deployment of 5G in the field and beyond. Whether you work at a service provider, in an enterprise or you are an individual wireless or fiber contractor, we’ll include case studies and tips to make your deployments faster, more accurate and with fewer reworks and repeat visits. Key topics include:Why thoroughly testing at every stage of 5G is the only option; Testing process from antenna to core; and analytics to help service providers plan and optimize.
Join AFL for our three-part webinar series that addresses How High Count Fiber Optics Power Today’s Hyperscale Market.
The webinars will take place over sessions and cover the following topics: Hyperscale market applications, Hyperscale solutions and future technology developments. The series starts on May 5.
This webinar will cover the different cabling approaches needed to achieve the high density interconnects being installed in data centers today. It will also introduce 200 micron fiber as a path to create even higher density solutions and cover the installation and design impacts one must consider when looking to move to a 200 micron fiber solution.
85% of network failures are caused by dirty connectors. The connectors entrusted to carry the critical information that passes through your network deserve far more than a wipe on a t-shirt. As data center bandwidth continues to increase, adherence to best practice fiber endface cleaning and inspection methods must improve. Download AFL’s best practices guide for cleaning.
Pro Optix has launched two series of ultra high density Wavelength Division Multiplexers (WDM): the Pro MINI high-density series and the Pro NANO ultra-high-density series. These WDMs set new records for high density solutions at 300% and 600% greater than traditional multiplexers. This allows users to significantly reduce their data center footprint whilst capitalizing on next generation design features. Pro Optix has partnered with Senko to deliver this next generation in WDM technology with the patented CS technology.
Researchers say a new discovery on a U.S. Army project for optoelectronic devices could help make optical fiber communications more energy efficient. A new design of optical devices radiate light in a single direction. This single-sided radiation channel for light can be used in a wide array of optoelectronic applications to reduce energy loss in optical fiber networks and data centers. The journal Nature published the findings. Light tends to flow in optical fibers along one direction, like water flows through a pipe. On-chip couplers are used to connect fibers to chips, where light signals are generated, amplified, or detected. While most light going through the coupler continues through to the fiber, some of the light travels in the opposite direction, leaking out. A large part of energy consumption in data traffic is due to this radiation loss.
COVID-19 has triggered “huge investment” in digital projects as organizations try to manage more operations remotely, says the head of Australian data integration company Reekoh. The company’s CEO Dale Rankine says industrial and healthcare organizations are bringing forward cloud projects in response to the COVID-19 crisis
This webinar will provide an overview of port breakout, defined as taking a parallel port and breaking it down to a lower speed port in the cabling (40G- 10G, etc.), and its implications on structured cabling. We will also cover a new trend of certain customers wanting to break out transceiver ports at the transceiver interface and not in the structured cabling. This trend is leading the industry to evaluate new smaller form factor connectors. We will introduce the proposed new connector designs and discuss the applications where they will potentially be used.
