What’s the difference between T568A and T568B wiring schemes?

T568A and T568B are the standards specified by ANSI, TIA and EIA for RJ45 jacks and plugs that refers to the position of the wires inside the eight-position modular plugs. These two standards are very alike. The only visible difference between them is that pairs 2 and 3 (green and orange) are interchanged.

This is why Cloud Computing requires fiber optic broadband

Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer’s hard drive. It allows for customers and businesses to use services and softwares without having to build, run and maintain the serves in-house. Therefore, in this case, the word “cloud” is used as a metaphor for “the Internet”.

What is Fiber to the Antenna (FTTA) and why does it matter?

FTTA is a broadband network architecture in which the high frequency and power electronics are taken from the based station and located at a remote radio-head (RRH), a based fiber optic system that converts digital signals into analog, close to the antenna and fiber optic is used to join the RRH to the base station in new and old antennas.

50μm vs 62.5μm: Which multimode fiber to choose?

Improvements in transmitters have made it possible to achieve higher speeds and longer transmission distances with multimode fiber. And now the question is:  which multimode fiber to use?

What is a fiber optic coupler and how to properly choose it?

The relevance of fiber optic couplers, also called adapters, is constantly eclipsed by connectors, but the truth is that they are a critical element in fiber optic links and systems and play a serious role in the connection performance.

Reseachers discovered new form of light

Physics have just discovered a new form of light where the angular momentum of each photon takes only half of the value of Planck’s constant, changing our current understating of electromagnetic radiation which could lead to faster and more secure internet connections through optical fibers.

What is OM4 fiber and what makes it future-proof ?

Generally, there are two types of optical fiber: single mode and multimode. Single mode fiber can be either OS1 or OS2 and multimode fiber is divided into OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4, the last two being the media choice for data center applications, specially OM4.
