Everything You Need to Know About Fiber Optic Ethernet
In the last decade, a wide variety of applications have been developed that covers a dozen of datacom networking technologies. The transmission speed ranges from 10Mbits up to 10Gbit/s and growing.
High distance-bandwidth product is the major selling point for fiber optic transceivers. Another major benefit of fiber optic systems is their high reliability compared to other media.
Now fiber optic transceivers are commercially available for almost all international and industrial standards, including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10Gbit Ethernet.
So let’s review the the bunch of industry standards and inspect the various applications that fiber optic transceivers provide.
There are two classifications for optical fiber: single-mode (SMF) and multi-mode (MMF). SMF is used for long distance communication and MMF is used for distances of less than 300 m. SMF has a narrower core (6.3
