Why don’t data centers use multi-mode OM2 fiber anymore? In this article, ETU-Link will reveal the answer for you. Firstly, OM2 is mainly a traditional 50/125 micron graded index multi-mode fiber. OM2 fiber is based on LED light source in terms of standard and design, and has low bandwidth requirements. It cooperates with LED to transmit 1000Mbit/s and lower rates. OM2 will withdraw from the data ...

Before understanding the differences between single mode and multimode, we need to know that light propagates in a fiber as a set of independent beams, which propagate at a specific angle to the fiber axis and are called modes. We can distinguish between single mode and multimode by transmission mode. Single mode fiber supports one mode, while multimode fiber supports multiple modes. Below, ETU-LI...

The previous storage technology only uses the storage device as an auxiliary device of the server. The large-capacity data exchange between servers can only rely on traditional networks, and cannot adapt to the development of IT technology in terms of speed, security, cross-platform sharing, and unlimited expansion. Under such circumstances, SAN technology came into being. fiber Channel SCSI ...

In this blog, ETU-LINK will introduce the QSFP-100G-ER4 Lite optical module, which uses LWDM multiplexing technology and operates in the wavelength range of 1295, 1300, 1304, and 1309. The optical signal is multiplexed by a WDM wavelength division multiplexer and transmitted on a single-mode fiber through an industry-standard LC connector. At the receiving end, the SOA amplifies the signal before ...
