EPON VS. GPON: Cost-effective Solution for Access Network
What is EPON? And what are the difference between EPON and GPON? With the increasing demands for higher capacity, more diversity and more personalization of services, the capacity and versatility of access networks needs to be expanded. Passive optical network (PON), as a major technology of FTTH, offers point-to-multipoint (P2MP) network access with lower installation and maintenance costs. EPON vs. GPON is today’s main... -
Can a QSFP56 optic work with QSFP28 cable
What is QSFP28 In 2014, QSFP28 (an abbreviation for quad small form-factor pluggable 28) was published to carry 100 Gigabit Ethernet, EDR InfiniBand, or 32G Fibre Channel. It offers 4 channels of high-speed differential signals with data rates ranging from 25 Gbps up to potentially 40 Gbps, and meets 100 Gbps Ethernet (4×25 Gbps) and 100 Gbps 4X InfiniBand Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) requirements.... -
Why Use a Patch Panel?
To take advantage of the fast Internet now available in most homes and businesses, a wired network often will allow you to achieve speeds much closer to the promised maximum. If you want to set up a wired network that includes multiple wall ports in various rooms, a patch panel in a central location can provide a simple, neat and easy-to-manage solution. The definition, type,... -

Fiber Connector Types - LC vs SC vs FC vs ST vs MTP vs MPO vs MDC vs Rugged
In fiber optical telecommunication, there are various fiber optic connectors, such as MDC, SC, LC, FC, MU, ST, MPO, MTP and rugged fiber optic connectors types like Fullaxs and ODC connector. How to choose them for your Data Center, FTTH or FTTA Cabling Connectivity? LightOptics make a comparision here for you. SC Fiber Connectors SC refers to the Square Connector or Standard Connector. SC is arguably the... -
Difference Between Multimode Fiber Types: OM1 vs OM2 vs OM3 vs OM4 vs OM5
Multimode fiber is a common choice to achieve 10 Gbit/s speed over distances required by LAN enterprise and data center applications. Multimode and single-mode optical fiber cables are two different cable types in optical networking. Using a larger core size, multimode fiber cable allows multiple light signals to be transmitted in a single fiber over short distances. Multimode fiber systems offer flexible, reliable and... -
