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 ...

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...

Why don’t data centers use multi-mode OM2 fiber anymore? In this article, ETU-Link will reveal the answer for you. Firstly, OM2 is mainly a traditional 50/125 micron graded index multi-mode fiber. OM2 fiber is based on LED light source in terms of standard and design, and has low bandwidth requirements. It cooperates with LED to transmit 1000Mbit/s and lower rates. OM2 will withdraw from the data ...
