25G SFP28 transceivers: Quo Vadis? Nielsen’s Law of Internet Bandwidth states that user’s bandwidth grows by 50% per year, and this law has held true for a period of 37-years, all the way back since 1983. Figure 1. Internet connectivity (bits per second) It is always interesting to...
100G PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) are gaining ground in transceiver market and is encouraged by many but is it THE future? Many also say that future perspectives are grand, full with optimism as this technology is embraced by CISCO, HUAWEI, ARISTA to name a few....
Nowadays world information networks have become more inter-connected than ever. This can be attributed to advancements in multiple telecommunication sectors or as OSI calls it Layers. Each layer has had an integral part in rapid development of node to node connections and technology behind it....
Data is Growing: The amount of digital data in the universe is growing at an exponential rate, doubling every two years, and changing how we live in the world. If we look at data we can divide them in: Structured Data (highly organized and made up mostly...
SFP type and BiDi SFP type optical modules are very popular and widely used in optical communication while CSFP (Compact Small Form-Factor Pluggable) optical transceivers are much more rare. In this article we would like to explain main difference between SFP, BiDi SFP and Compact...
Mobile traffic is booming and this evolution is backed up by both the evolution of 4G and the coming introduction of 5G, which will deliver a downlink user experience of 100Mbps everywhere and 1-10Gbps locally, with a latency of less than 1ms. Such increase in...
Why 10G Copper SFP+ transceiver is good option to have, but can’t be recommended for mass scale data center deployments? Already more than year 10G Copper SFP+ transceivers have become widely available for networking industry. Also we see raising demand for this product and most...
Already for some time tunable optical transceivers for use in DWDM systems, such as XFP and SFP+ are available for optical networking industry. Current evolution of tunable optical transceivers typically support full ITU-T C-band, allowing dynamically tune transmitter wavelength with 50GHz steps. However, even longer...
It is no secret that most IT companies currently uses or has future plans to start using 3rd party optical transceivers - because of simple fact that they are much more budgetary than Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) optical transceivers. Doubts of using OEM hardware or 3rd party hardware are...
The CFP module is a hot pluggable form factor designed for optical networking applications. CFP is acronym from 100G (C = 100 in Roman numerals; Centum) Form factor Pluggable. As name suggests, CFP is introduced to serve as optical transceiver for 100G interfaces. There are...
