Before you install the MTP/MPO connectors in the data center, it is essential that all the fiber end-faces and the ferrule are really clean. especially when you thinking about lining up 12, 16, 24 or 32 pieces of 9um fibers in one or two rows, it requires tremendous precision. Any dirts in the mix on […]

TARLUZ 100G QSFP28 Transceivers
The QSFP28 (Quad Small Form Pluggable) transceiver form factor was established to enable multi-lane (quad) optical transceivers, such as 100GbE and 128GFC, with a variety of optical connectors (such as 4+4 MPO and duplex LC). TARLUZ 100G QSFP28 optical transceiver including SR4, CWDM4, LR4 series, complied with IEEE 802.3bm and SFF-8636, compatible with network device […]
What is QSFP-DD Modules
Backwards compatibility is the primary appeal of the QSFP-DD form factor. The QSFP form factor is today’s industry workhorse for delivering 40 and 100GbE. The “Q” is for “quad” — a nod to the four-channel electrical interface, with each lane running at 25 Gbps for 100GbE. QSFP-DD adapts the same basic concept as its predecessor, […]

Differences among Multimode (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5) and Single Mode (OS1, OS2) Fiber
What are OM and OS type fiber optic cables? In ANSI/TIA-568.3-D, the TIA adopted the nomenclature for fiber found in the international standard ISO/IEC 11801. The multimode fiber is prefixed with “OM” and the singlemode mode “OS”. The new designation in ANSI/TIA-568.3-D should alleviate some of the confusion associated with application support distance issues. Each […]

Blowing Method for Air Blown Fiber
Cable installation by using high-speed air ow combined with additional mechanical pushing force is called as “blowing or jetting”. Cable blowing is the process of installation of optical ber cable into a pre-installed duct. Compressed air is injected into the duct inlet after few hundred meters of cable is pushed into the duct. Compressed air […]
Polaritetens betydelse för MPO/MTP
MPO/MTP är en flexibel, hållbar samt skalbar teknisk lösning med hög densitet, och är samtidigt en av de mest relevanta teknikerna för att migrera system över till 40 & 100G Ethernet. En av stötestenarna som en nätverksdesigner behöver tänka på, är hur man försäkrar sig i att rätt polaritet på sändande/mottagande fibrer uppnås från start […]
De ontwikkeling van nieuwe IEEE 802.3 Ethernet-standaarden
25GBASE-SR Door de ontwikkeling van 100GBASE-SR4 in 2015 werd het noodzakelijk een nieuwe standaard te ontwikkelen voor een lagere snelheid in de vorm van 25GBASE-SR. Deze is in 2016 formeel vastgelegd als IEEE 802.3by Ontwikkeld voor het aggregeren van vier 25G server-poorten naar één 100G switch-poort De transceiver gebruikt de bekende SFP+ form factor met […]
Testing and structured cabling standards: Harmonization?
By SEYMOUR GOLDSTEIN, Fluke Networks — If you ever attended a Standards meeting you might have heard the word “harmonization” mentioned frequently. The idea of harmonization, somewhat of a holy grail, is to have standards from different organizations agree. For example, imagine if the TIA, IEC, and ISO/IEC organizations used the same test standard. Actually, […]
