Understanding Fiber Cable Types
This article examines the different constructions of fiber optic cable and the common applications for each type. Jacket Compounds Riser Rated (common acronyms: CMR, CL2R, CL3R)Riser rated cables tend to be the least expensive cable format. They are typically used for wiring in vertical spaces from floor-to-floor in a building and have a basic fire rating. Riser rated cables are widely used in both... -
Why Need to Understanding Fiber Connectors: UPC vs. APC?
When picking fiber optic cable, you are often faced with two options – UPC or APC connector. What is the difference between them? Why you need to understanding them? UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact connector. It refers to the connector with a flat polished end like in the image below. It achieves the best connection with another connector of this type. Light traveling through... -
What is QSFP112 and Why do we need QSFP112?
This article gives a detailed overview of 400G QSFP112 transceiver types, including their specs, benefits, and why do we need QSFP112. What Is QSFP112? QSFP112 is the module and cage/connector system based on current QSFP, targeting to support the 112Gb/s per lane speed in a 4x lane QSFP system and to enable the QSFP 400G interconnect ecosystem. This will greatly help the legacy QSFP... -
