Choosing your network Transceiver

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Which Network Transceiver Do you Need? In networking, transceivers are the critical components that
enable data transmission. While transceivers can be embedded into short-reach direct attach copper and optical cables, they offer significant advantages when packaged into pluggable transceiver modules, which support various network speeds and transmission technologies, are compatible with a variety of active network equipment, and offer the benefit of easy plug-and-play deployment and replacement to facilitate upgrades. Pluggable transceivers also feature common copper and fiber connector interfaces to serve as the interface between active equipment and the cabling infrastructure.

Webinar: Moving to 400G – and Beyond

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Transceivers capable of supporting 400 Gigabit Ethernet for the data center environment are being deployed. Meanwhile, coherent transmission in the form of 400ZR/ZR+ will soon reach the field, with 600-Gbps and 800-Gbps capabilities following suit and the IEEE embarking on new standards efforts. This webcast will review the state of 400G+ technology for both data center and service provider applications and the requirements such technology should meet.

7 Ways Smart Buildings are Changing Commercial Real Estate

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Smart building technology has a profound effect on many industries, such as manufacturing, as well as the commercial real estate market. Today’s businesses are looking for more than an empty building that they house their equipment in. The smart building features are as much of a selling point as the location. Here are seven other ways that smart buildings are changing commercial real estate: Expanding options, fully Integrated systems, Adapting to tenants’ technology requirements, improving environmental friendliness, and better automation due to versatile IoT sensors.

Smart Buildings – Digital has the power to create ‘living’ workspaces

.A truly smart building is able to communicate across different systems and services to allow the occupier to make the best possible decisions, whether automatically or by intervening. There is still a way to go before connected buildings becomes the norm, but building efficiency can be increased by an average of around 40-50% across the main cities in the world.

40Gb/s 100m QSFP+, Bi-Di, Duplex LC multimode fiber optic QSFP+ transceiver

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Soptco has introduced a Four-Channel, Pluggable, LC Duplex, Fiber-Optic QSFP+ Transceiver for 40 Gigabit Ethernet Applications. This high-performance transceiver integrates four electrical data lanes in each direction into transmission over a single LC duplex fiber optic cable. The transceiver internally multiplexes an XLPPI 4x10G interface into two 20Gb/s electrical channels, transmitting and receiving each optically over one simplex LC fiber using bi-directional optics. Link distances up to 100 m using OM3 and 150m using OM4 optical fiber are supported. These modules operate over multimode fiber systems using a nominal wavelength of 850nm on one end and 900nm on the other end.

Amtrak overhauls passenger rail communications with OCC’s hybrid GPON fiber/copper system

Starting a few years ago at Chicago’s Union Station and then in Baltimore and Washington DC, Amtrak equipped its new headquarters with a future-proof optical, advanced GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) and Digital Electric systems. This gave their newly renovated facility a highly efficient, resilient and cost-effective network that provides a wide range of high bandwidth telecommunications capabilities at gigabit speeds.

II-VI Incorporated’s 25 Gbps Wavelength-Tunable Transceivers for 5G Fronthaul Earn 2020 Lightwave Innovation Reviews High Score

By on • ( Leave a comment )

II‐VI’s 25 Gbps wavelength-tunable transceivers received an Innovation Reviews High Score from Lightwave Magazine. II-VI’s 25 Gbps wavelength-tunable transceivers meet the CPRI 10 standard for 25 Gbps fronthaul links in a standard SFP28 pluggable form factor and over the full industrial temperature range. The transceivers support dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) across the C-band, dramatically increasing transmission capacity per fiber, thus virtually eliminating capacity constraints due to fiber scarcity.

Will you be able to manage thousands of edge cloud infrastructures?

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Edge provides a huge opportunity to host many use cases on one infrastructure, manageable from a single pane of glass. Getting close to end-users not only allows the operator to tap directly into the new revenue streams for ultra-low latency/ultra-reliable services, but also to provide “edge-as-a-service,” and other infrastructure-as-a-service and hosting services to other enterprises.

High-Speed Fiber Cable Assemblies for the 5G Era

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Active optical cables are key components in the high-speed systems needed to handle the exponential increase in data traffic that will come with 5G.  According to the figure being passed around at DesignCon 2020, only 15% of the 5G infrastructure has been installed so far. That means a tremendous number of transmitters, small cells, antennas, data centers, and devices will be needed — and millions of miles of cable, connecting continents, data centers, service providers, and users.
