The fiber is fragile and easy to break, the cable jacket is a good measure to protect the fiber been damaged. The cable structure includes buffers, strength members, and jackets. The following articles offer a brief introduction to the cable jacket used inside the data center. LSZH LSZH (low-smoke, zero halogen) jacket is free of […]

2028. While the 800G and 1.6T pluggable now are mainly based on 16 fiber, in the article, we shall briefly introduce the Base-16 Fiber Cabling System. 1. What is Base-16 Fiber? Base-16 fiber mainly means 16x fiber cores in a tube and can be single or ribbonized. it can be terminated by high-density MPO, MTP […]
Dell’Oro Group released a report about Ethernet Data Center Switch recently, Ethernet Switch – Data Center 5-Year Forecast Report. Based on the report, the group mentions that Front-end Networks Will Account for More than $100B in Data Center Switch Sales Over the Next Five Years. During the next 5 years to 2028, about 100M shipments […]
LPO is short for Linear Pluggable Optics (or Linear-drive Pluggable Optics), it is a potential technology to satisfy the low power consumption and high bandwidth demand of data centers like CPO (Co-packaged Optics). Currently, IPEC (The International Photonics & Electronics Committee) is focusing on cutting-edge optoelectronic technologies. Image source from LightCounting The following are the […]
Q1: What is the difference among the terms “QSFP56”, “QSFP200”, “200G QSFP” and “200G QSFP56”? A1: They all refer to the same transceiver type. The electrical data path interface of a 200G QSFP consists of 4 lanes, with each lane transmitting 50Gbit/s data. Each lane of a 200G QSFP is designed to handle up to […]
Q1: What are the SFP-DD and DSFP form factors? A1: The SFP-DD is short for Small Form-factor Pluggable – Double-Density and SFP-DD form-factor is defined by the SFP-DD MSA, while the DSFP is short for Dual Small Form-factor Pluggable and is defined by the DSFP MSA. They are a compact SFP-like form factor with 2x […]
Rule-1: When mating two MPO patch cords, it shall be an MPO male connector and an MPO female connector. Rule-2: For the standard MPO Connectors, changing the polarity, or adding or removing the guiding pins in the field is not allowed. Rule-3: MPO Female connector for direct connection to the optical module if it is […]
SWDM is short for Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing. it offers users an alternate solution for 40Gbps, 100Gbps, and higher connectivity over duplex multimode fiber. Some of the many advantages of SWDM are: Reach – up to 440m for 40G and 150m for 100G 40G SWDM can operate link distance up to 240, 350, and 440 […]
TARLUZ currently offers two 40G transceivers that operate over duplex multimode fiber, QSFP-40G-SWDM4, and QSFP-40G-SRBD transceivers. Both transceivers operate at multimode fiber and are widely deployed in the industry. QSFP-40G-SWDM4 and QSFP-40G-SRBD are using different technology, so they are not able to use each other. QSFP-40G-SWDM4 Transceiver TARLUZ 40G QSFP+ SWDM4 transceiver provides 40Gbps bandwidth […]
