As we continue to look at how optical transceivers have changed over the past decade, we wrap up our discussion with fiber type, c***ectors, wavelengths, and operating temperature.

In this week’s article, we conclude our look at how the key features of optical transceivers have evolved since we first addressed the subject way back in 2012. A Lasting Taxonomy (Part 2) Last week, we observed that while we discussed how form factor, data rate, protocol, and rated distance requi...

It feels like so much has changed since we first looked at optical transceivers. We’re going to look back at our overview, and explore some of the most important developments over the past decade.

When we look back on our nearly two decades as a leading provider of optical transceivers, the most salient truth is the only constant in the world of open networking is change. The appetite for more bandwidth is accelerating across all industries, and solutions providers like us are racing just ahe...

We continue to look at the potential convergence of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G network technology. In a recent case study by Wireless Broadband Association and Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance, there are a number of use cases that will provide a better overall user experience.

This week, we continue our coverage of the potential future convergence of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G network technology. While the two parallel technologies coexist today, convergence will provide a better overall user experience in a number of common use cases, as laid out in a recent white paper from the Wir...

Wi-Fi 6 and 5G are two of the most exciting trends in optical networking. How can they coexist, and how will they converge? We start our two-part exploration this week.

As 5G and Wi-Fi 6 technologies have developed in parallel, the necessity for them to “play nicely together” has grown. While convergence (i.e., the integration of Wi-Fi into a mobile or cable operator’s core network) does not appear to be in the cards in the immediate future, a functional coex...

Network engineering labs are a great environment to utilize our multi-vendor DACs and AOCs for pre-deployment that provide a plug-and-play alternative to optics and cables.

For decades, copper direct attach cables (DACs) and active optical cables (AOCs) have been widely deployed in data centers, wiring closets, and server rooms to lower the cost and increase the reliability of short-reach intraoffice c***ections. In this article, we’ll explore another environment in ...
