MPO connectors are ready for prime time
As the industry deploys 40-Gbit/sec optical networks and moves ahead to 100-Gbit/sec data rates, service providers and data center managers may question whether the multi-fiber push-on (MPO) connector can perform reliably at those speeds. They saw the first-generation MPO as a “weak link” in optical networking, primarily because of its higher optical loss, lack of […]
Higher Data Center operational temperature affect fiber optic reliability
Big Data Analytics, The Cloud, Internet of Thing: The buzz words in the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) industry. All of which fuels the flourishing Data Centers market across the globe at an alarming rate. Cisco predicted that by 2018, more than three quarters (78%) of workloads will be processed by cloud data centers; 22 […]
Fast field terminate MPO connectors
Currently Data center required everywhere for big data. Many manufacturer all start to demonstrate the tools and procedures by which installation technicians can field-terminate MPO-style fiber connectors. MPO fusion-spliced, field-terminated connectors feature just six components. With a factory prepolished ferrule, their field-termination process eliminates polishing, adhesives and crimping in the field, minimizing the potential for […]

Cabling and Test Considerations for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) Local Area Networks
Introduction Current communication data rates in local networks range from 10/100 megabits per second (Mbps) in Ethernet to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) in fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE). However, the increasing demand for internet protocol (IP)-based services including voice, video, and data requires higher speeds and greater bandwidth, leading to […]
What should i choose for data center. Copper or Fiber, Active or Passive?
Cabling is an increasingly important topic in the data center. This focus is growing with the proliferation of 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s cables in volume today, with 100 Gb/s cables already starting deployments, and with both intra-rack and inter-rack applications. Passive cabling provides a direct electrical connection between corresponding cable ends. Active cables provide […]
Hybrid Data Centers Key Part of Cloud Evolution
When it comes to IT infrastructure decisions, including the choice of where to host business-critical applications, enterprises are amid a reality check. Enterprise IT leaders know it’s time to move on from the days when computing models were built exclusively on mainframe and client server computing models, but they’re still working out what the next model […]
Benefits of Pre-Terminated Solutions (Pre-terminated assemblies) – 2
Benefits of Pre-Terminated Solutions – 2 Commercial Office Pre-terminated Assemblies The completion of the handover of a project is critical, mainly due to the fact that the lease deadline of the end user client’s existing facilities, have to be met to avoid the costly penalty of having to extend their previous lease by a further […]
