Webinar: Single-Mode Fiber: The Perfect Fit For Your Evolving Enterprise

By on • ( Leave a comment )

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.

Singlemode vs. Multimode Fiber: The Real Differences

By on • ( Leave a comment )

As bandwidth usage intensifies, costs of fiber optic cable continue to decrease and emerging technologies demand faster speeds and more reliable connectivity, fiber cable is becoming a practical solution for many cabling projects. Before you decide for sure that fiber is the right way to go for your project, there’s another decision to make: Do you need singlemode or multimode fiber?

Applications for singlemode fiber-optic cabling

Singlemode fiber-optic cabling systems, once found almost exclusively in service providers’ long-haul networks or in expansive campuses, are now commonly being used in data center and enterprise networks. How deep has singlemode gotten into these networks, and how much deeper are they likely to go? That’s the topic of this month’s In-Depth discussion.In the data center and the enterprise, long-wavelength transmission supported by singlemode fiber-optic cabling systems serve today’s networking needs and hold promise for tomorrow.

In the recently published, ‘Silica optical fiber drawn from 3D printed preforms,’ the authors created single and multimode fibers that can be used to create designs and parts for a range of networks, likely related to telecommunications and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Researchers investigated created a silica preform through both 3D printing and thermal processing—no small feat, considering it requires temperatures over T = 1900 ℃. To avoid this issue, the researchers tried using a lower melting polymer—a hybrid polymer-glass mix—via DLP printing.
