Checksums  are a common error detection method that is used to verify the integrity of data and detect errors in data transmissions. Checksums are used in transceivers to verify the authenticity of...

Some of our customers seem puzzled and are asking what’s the difference GLC-SX-MM vs GLC-SX-MMD? Witch one is right for my equipment!   Our short answer is – none! However, we will try to explain this in more detail. It’s related to changes in Cisco’s product nomenclature...

Time to time we hear our customers asking same & similar questions in different phrasing – Is GLC-SX-MM EOL Is GLC-LH-SM EOL? But how it could be – we are still getting a lot of Cisco equipment with GE SFP interfaces and we need modules...

Short answer is - No!   Extended answer is – You could try and, in some occasions, it may even work in very short distances, but we definitely not recommend it. Thing is – 1000Base-SX multimode transceiver uses LED as a light source. It’s possible because Multi-mode...

QSFP Memory map Source: SFF-8636 Specification forManagement Interface for Cabled Environments When it comes to optical transceiver coding (EEPROM memory tables 00h, 01h etc) many equipment vendors follow optical transceiver industry specifications, however some vendors have chosen the path where if optical transceivers will not have specific...

      Enabling customers’ existing Nokia equipment to reach 100G connection over up to 80 km distance is a recent Proof of Concept for older equipment supporting new advancements in optical transceivers and maximizing already made investments.   Goal of Nokia 100G ZR4 compatibility test was...

There has been observation of SFP-T 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 copper transceivers in some equipment like for example - ZTE switches. In this switch SFP-T module sometimes produces a problem with physical and logical link state. After plugging SFP-T module in port the physical and administrative link...
