Now Gigabit Ethernet has been popularized in a large area, and Gigabit Ethernet switches are also widely used in scenarios such as enterprise networks and optical access networks. Gigabit Ethernet has two types of ports, namely RJ45 and SFP ports. These two ports can support the highest transmission rate of Gigabit, and can also be backward compatible with the transmission rate of 10/100M.   ...

Before understanding the differences between single mode and multimode, we need to know that light propagates in a fiber as a set of independent beams, which propagate at a specific angle to the fiber axis and are called modes. We can distinguish between single mode and multimode by transmission mode. Single mode fiber supports one mode, while multimode fiber supports multiple modes. Below, ETU-LI...

The previous storage technology only uses the storage device as an auxiliary device of the server. The large-capacity data exchange between servers can only rely on traditional networks, and cannot adapt to the development of IT technology in terms of speed, security, cross-platform sharing, and unlimited expansion. Under such circumstances, SAN technology came into being. fiber Channel SCSI ...

Multimode fiber has been developed from OM1 to OM5 now, so which one is better among OM2, OM3, and OM4 multimode fiber? In this blog, ETU-LINK will explain to you.   Multimode fiber is mainly used for optical transmission with a wavelength of 850nm. Here, the two points of effective mode bandwidth and full injection bandwidth can be compared separately. First, let us understand what bandwidth...

Media converter are Ethernet transmission conversion units that convert electrical signals and optical signals to each other, so they are also called photoelectric converters. The main purpose of using Media converter is to extend the transmission distance of the signal. Since the twisted pair wires used in our daily life, that is, network cables, have a very limited transmission distance, if...

With the continuous surge of traffic, major operators and data centers began to upgrade the network architecture economically, smoothly and reliably. At present, there are two 100G migration paths, namely 10G to 40G to 100G and 25G to 100G. Next, ETU-LINK will introduce the wiring schemes of these two paths.   1. 10G wiring The 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology defi...
