It is easy to trouble shoot the failure which occurs on a point-to-point FTTx network by using an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) test. However, troubleshooting a faulty point-to-multipoint network (i.e. PON network) differs signi…

Overview The SFP transceiver modules are hot-pluggable I/O devices that plug into module sockets. The transceiver connects the electrical circuitry of the module with the optical or copper network. Cisco SFP transceiver module supports the…

D-Link SFP Transceiver Overview D-Link Gigabit Interface Converters are transceivers that connect Gigabit switches and 10/100Mbps switches with GBIC slots to Gigabit Ethernet networks, providing high-speed connections over the fiber optic …

Eight years ago, the networking industry was gearing up for massive uptake of copper-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) using 10GBase-T. As a result, we are seeing the expansion of higher speed Ethernet solutions, specifically 10 and 40 gigab…

Introduction This user's guide provides information for Copper SFP transceiver modules, as well as instructions for installing, connecting and removing these transceivers. Copper SFP transceivermodules are hot-pluggable - you can insert th…

Introduction Ethernet technology has continually evolved to meet up with the never-ending demand for faster rates of data transmission. Through this ongoing evolution, it has matured into the foremost technology standard for local area net…

When you purchase the 1000BASE LX SFPs for your switch, you may always see such description of them: This 1000BASE LX/LH SFP transceiver is based on the SFP Multi Source Agreement (MSA). So, what's the SFP MSA? What's defined by the SFP MS…

Recently, Fiberstore cut the price of Direct Attach Cables (DACs) through strengthening the cost control. This change will make the DACs more cost-effective and better promote the high speed transmission. Direct attach cables are used to c…

There are some compatibility issues that I have to solved when installing a Third Party Cisco Compatible SFP modules into the switches. Q: I am trying to work out which Third Party Cisco Compatible SFP Transceiver might work in an Aerohive…

In a fiber optic communication network, there are many equipment and facilities to support the normal operation of the system. Fiber optic transponder and fiber optic transceiver are the one of these devices. Literally, both of them are wi…
