AEC--the substitute of DAC and AOC?
We all know AOC active optical cables, but have you heard of AEC active cables? Today, LightOptics will introduce to you what is AEC active cable and what are its advantages? What is AEC? The Active Electrical Cable (AEC) is a new category of plug and play interconnect designed for affordable, lossless operation at 100G, 400G, and faster speeds. AEC delivers the simple functionality and speed of... -
Why Use EDFA with WDM Network?
EDFA (erbium doped fiber amplifier), commercialized in the early 1990’s, became a key enabling technology for optical communication networks, and has deployed in the field. It is usually used to improve the intensity of optical signals being carried through a fiber optical communication system thus enables the optical signals in an optical fiber to be amplified directly in high bit rate systems beyond Terabits. As the... -
Will Different Ethernet Cable Speed Affect My Network?
Ethernet cables are the default physical connection for today’s home or business networks. At a glance, Ethernet cables appears to be little more than bulky phone cords. They are vastly different, however, and the type of Ethernet cable you use can have an impact on your internet connection and speeds. Ethernet cables come in different categories, each identified as “Cat” followed by a number. People... -
Different Ports on WDM Mux/Demux
WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) is a commonly used technology in optical communications, which is one of the most common way of using wavelengths to increase bandwidth by multiplexing various optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber. CWDM (coarse wavelength-division multiplexing) and DWDM(dense wavelength-division multiplexing) MUX/DEMUX(multiplexer/demultiplexer) are two important components in WDM systems, which are often deployed to join multiple wavelengths onto a single fiber. There are... -
Five Types of Optical Fiber Cables for 5G Networks
Get Ready for 5G Networks Optical fiber cables have become one of the key points in the 5G competition. It’s known that 5G networks will offer consumers high-speed and low-latency services with more reliable and stronger connections. But to make this happen, more 5G base stations have to be built due to the higher 5G frequency band and limited network coverage. And it’s estimated... -
An Overview of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM System) and How It Works
What is WDM In Networking Multiplexing optical signals of different wavelengths into the same optical fiber for transmission, we call the method or technology wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that combines two or more optical carrier signals of different wavelengths at the transmitting end through a multiplexer, namely a type of wdm equipment, and coupling them to the... -
Summarize 400G and 100G Single Lambda Transceiver Interfaces
In this blog, we summarized the most common interfaces for 400G multimode and singlemode transceivers as well as the corresponding 100G transceivers. Please note that DAC/AOC cables or coherent transceivers are not coverd in this article. Form-factors for 400G transceivers QSFP-DD and OSFP are the 2 common form factors for 400G. For the transceiver interfaces in this post, both form-factors are performing equally well.... -
What is Fiber Optic Adapter
What is Fiber Optic Adapter?Fiber optic adapters (also known as Fiber couplers, Fiber Adapter ) are designed to connect two optical cables together. They have a single fiber connector (simplex), dual fiber connector (duplex) or sometimes four fiber connector (quad) versions. The optical fiber adapter can be inserted into different types of optical connectors at both ends of the optical fiber adapter to realize... -
What is MDC connector
What is MDC connector?MDC connector is from US CONEC for creating higher density patching fieldsIntroducing a Smaller Form Factor Duplex ConnectorInstantly triple your densityMultiple emerging transceiver Multi-Source Agreements (MSAs) have defined architectures that require a duplex optical connector with a smaller footprint than the LC connector. The smaller footprint will enable an increased density at the passive patch panel / cassette interface.Currently LC duplex... -
