The role of optical modules in optical communication networks is photoelectric conversion, so what optical devices are mainly composed of optical modules? ETU-LINK will reveal the answer for everyone. First of all, the two most important parts of the optical transceiver are the optical transmitting assembly (TOSA) and the optical receiving assembly (ROSA). Among them, the optic...

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...

In this blog, ETU-LINK will introduce the QSFP-100G-ER4 Lite optical module, which uses LWDM multiplexing technology and operates in the wavelength range of 1295, 1300, 1304, and 1309. The optical signal is multiplexed by a WDM wavelength division multiplexer and transmitted on a single-mode fiber through an industry-standard LC connector. At the receiving end, the SOA amplifies the signal before ...

Recently, 400G Ethernet has become a hot topic in the communication industry. It is both an outlet and a challenge. Network equipment manufacturers have launched 400G switches, and optical communication products have also launched 400G optical modules. In this article, ETU-LINK is about the impact of the emergence of 400G switches and 400G optical modules on data centers.   First of all,...

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...
