Things you need to know about SFP+ 10G transceivers

Image
Are you thinking about upgrading your ethernet switches? Thanks to Swedish Telecom OPTO’s new entries into fully enterprise-class 10G networking, this is a question many businesses around the world these days are contemplating. 10 Gigabit speeds have become affordable to the big businesses and the small ones alike. With businesses widely adopting unified data and storage networking and network function virtualization nowadays, there has been an increase in I/O demands in servers. The only solution for the increased network requirement is acquiring direct attach cables, tunable optical transceiver modules, and SFP+ 10G modules. Businesses around the world are upgrading their IT infrastructure to attain and work greater service levels to meet the ever-increasing demands for high-speed voice, video, and data traffic. The convergence of LAN & SAN infrastructure and the exponential growth in information has forced many organizations to move their computing and connectivity s...

What you need to know about Fiber Optics Technology?

Image
When it comes to data cabling, there are various kinds of mediums available that can carry data from point A to point B. With the advancement in technology and growing demand, fiber optic cabling is quickly on its way to becoming the standard data cabling method. Fiber optic wires carry information in the form of light and this method is being highly used to transport both video and audio signals for short and long distances. This kind of transmission is possible by modulating an audio/video signal onto a beam of coherent light which is generated by a solid-state laser. Fiber optics technology is gradually replacing copper wires as a means of communication signal transmission. The major reason is that fiber optics provides more benefits in comparison to the traditional wires and cables. Efficiency and safety Fiber optics technology offers reliability and flexibility in transmitting information with limitless bandwidth. This technology offers more than 1000 times as...

Little Known Facts about Data Centers - And Why They Matter

Image
Gone are the days, when computers were massive machines, now they are shrunk and have become affordable than ever before. Similar is the case with data centers, they once contain a single supercomputer but now they consist of multiple servers that run 24*7. Data centers  are localized and centralized computing facilities and network administration hardware. They are used to gather process and distribute a large amount of information. They are liable for data backup and recovery, just as systems administration. Data centers host websites, manage e-mails and support cloud storage applications . How do data centers work? When someone types a web address in the web browser, they are requesting information from the server. The information stored in a data center server is divided into small packets and then send through the best route. This information then reaches the internet service provider through a series of wired or wireless networks. The requested information/data...

The Fundamentals of Wave Division Multiplexing

Image
Wave division multiplexing is a technology in which various optical carriers’ signals are multiplex into a single optical fiber by utilizing different wavelengths like colors of laser light. While wave division multiplexing is characterized by wavelength, frequency division multiplexing which is commonly applied to the radio carrier is characterized by the frequency. This is absolutely conventional because both of them convey the same information. What are WDM systems? In WDM systems, a multiplexer is used at the transmitter side to connect various signals together and the receiver side, a demultiplexer is used to separate the multiplex signals. Traditionally the optical filters that are used in the WDM systems are Fabry-Perot interferometers. WDM frameworks are generally favored by Telecommunications organizations since they permit them to grow the limit of the system without laying more fiber. By utilizing WDM, they can suit a few ages of innovation improvement in t...

An Ultimate Guide to Media Converter

Image
Media converters are simple devices that connect two dissimilar media such as copper and fiber. These cost-effective networking devices improve fiber interfaces in a wide range of networks. One of the most common types of media converters is a transceiver that converts an electric signal in a copper cable into light waves. When the distance between two networks exceeds the transmission limit of copper cabling, fiber cabling connectivity is used. Media converters enable network devices to connect, it connects copper ports with the extended fiber optic cables and performs optical to fiber conversion. Media converters are protocol specific and allow users to connect two multimode networks. These outstanding network devices have been used by leading data centers , enterprises, Telecom network for its ability to integrate technologies.  Benefits of media converters Network complexity, growing demand for bandwidth and the surging long-distance requirements have made ...
