Q: What is the OSFP (Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable)? A: The OSFP is a new pluggable form factor with eight high speed electrical lanes that will initially support 400 Gbps (8x50G). It is slightly wider and deeper than the QSFP but it still supports 32 OSFP ports per 1U front panel, enabling 12.8 Tbps […]
The long-awaited public launch of efforts to develop the Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) optical transceiver module for 400-Gbps applications has finally arrived. The multisource agreement (MSA) development group, led by Arista Networks, includes 49 members. “It is rare to see so much industry support behind a new optics module form factor,” said Andreas […]
What standard addresses 100G, and when will this standard be complete? The IEEE 802.3ba technical requirements were ratified in the recent April 2010 sponsor ballot. The document has been forwarded for approval to RevCom and is expected to be released in June 2010. When is customer implementation of 100G expected? Early end-user adoption is expected […]

PHILIPPINE Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT), the country’s leading telecommunications and digital services provider, said on Tuesday that it is building its second commercial data center in the province of Cebu. Through its enterprise digital enabler ePLDT, the telco provider expects to complete the new VITRO facility in Mandaue City by the fourth quarter of 2017. […]
El diseño del conector de fibra óptica MTP MPO permite el uso de una matriz y cable óptico plano que posibilita una densidad muy alta que se traduce directamente en un ahorro de costes debido a la reducción de necesidades de hardware óptico y de espacio real en nodos de telecomunicaciones y datacenters. (Un conector […]
TL3224 MPO Optical Power Meter and TL3124 MPO Optical Light Source is an Optical Test Solutions especially designed for Data Center on site testing. The MPO Optical Power Meter and MPO Optical Light Source could be applied in pair to test the insertion loss for MPO/MTP Patch Cord Insertion Loss, Polarity Condition, etc. it support […]
Data center planning has become somewhat of a specialty in the architectural world. Most architectural firms either have an RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) on staff, or acting as a consultant to assist with the specialized equipment not addressed by their Electrical Engineers and Mechanical Engineers. The equipment housed within the center is complex each with specific […]
The TIA TR-42.1.1 group was tasked with the development of the “Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Internet Data Centers.” “The scope of the working group included topology and performance for copper and fiber cabling, and other aspects of the IT infrastructure that will enable these facilities to rapidly deploy new technologies. Although the standard was published prior […]
Recommended cabling infrastructure deployments in the data center are based on guidance found in TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers. Using a distributed star topology in a structured cabling implementation provides the most flexible and manageable infrastructure. Many data center deployments today use the reduced topology described in TIA-942 where the horizontal distribution areas (HDAs) are […]
