WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology transmitting multiple signals on a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths to carry each signal has been used since 1980s. In the middle of 1990s, dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) enabled carriers to extend the capacity of...

Introduction
Fiber optic patch cord is also known as fiber optic jumper or fiber optic patch cable. It’s made of two parts: optical connector and fiber optic cable. Inside of the fiber optic patch cord, there is a core with a high refractive index surrounded by a coating with a low refractive...

SFP transceivers are commonly used and necessary in our daily life. And there are two kinds: single mode SFP and multi-mode SFP. However, maybe most people don’t know these two SFP transceivers are different. The following are the differences between single mode SFP and multi-mode SFP.
Diameter of...

3rd party SFPs (Cisco Compatible) are produced by companies not on the Cisco AVL and therefore are NOT Cisco approved. These suppliers will give you 100% compatibility guarantees, but Cisco won't support them. This is important to be mindful. Cisco reserves the legal right to refuse service and/or...
