In this article, ETU-LINK will introduce the 100G QSFP28 and 25G SFP28 cost-effective port branch connection solutions. The following will analyze and compare from the two aspects of saving space and cost. First of all, let's talk about why the cost performance is high, we can judge by comparing the cost. We can assume a scenario with an 8-slot chassis, which is fully equipped with 36 QSFP28 ports...

This blog ETU-LINK will show you how to identify the wavelength of CWDM optical module through the color of the pull ring. We all know that CWDM has a total of 12 wavelengths, with a full band range of 1270-1610nm, with each wavelength interval of 20nm. The industry divides the entire band into front wave and back wave, with the front wave band of 1270-1450nm and the back wave band of 1470-16...
