Switch Stacking vs Switch Trunking vs Switch Uplink
There are various approaches to connect multiple switches, among which switch stacking vs trunking vs uplink are the most prevailing ones. This post aims to elaborate on the three switch
SFP Fiber Optic Connector Types: LC, SC, MPO Explained
Most SFP fiber optic modules use LC connectors, while SC connectors are mainly found in legacy networks and MPO/MTP connectors are used for high-density cabling rather than directly on
White Paper: FTTH architecture overview
Whereas traditional cascaded architectures require different terminals with different fiber lengths that require complex planning, fiber indexing uses a single configuration throughout the network.
What splitter structure you should have in FTTH network
A cascaded approach may yield a faster return-on-investment with lower first-in and fiber costs. When deciding on the best approach, it''s important to understand these architectures in detail and weigh
Understanding FTTH Architecture
A single particle mated into the core of a fiber can cause significant back reflection, insertion loss and even equipment damage. Visual inspection of fiber optic connectors is the only way to determine if
