Communication and datacenter equipment manufacturers are looking to deploy 50 Gbps or 100 Gbps data links. These links, based on high-density connections with single or double 50 Gbps electrical ...

Although we can already buy commercial transceiver solutions that allow us to use PCIe devices like GPUs outside of a PC, these use an encapsulating protocol like Thunderbolt rather than straight PCIe ...

Telecom and data-communications equipment commonly use small-formfactor pluggable (SFP) modules for the physical-layer interface. Also common in these systems is an I 2 C bus for the management data ...

SFP modules are optical transceivers used in network devices and come in a wide variety of specifications to suit different communication speeds and applications. However, some network devices may ...

Choosing the right SFP module can make or break your network stability. From speed matching to vendor compatibility, small details can prevent big headaches. Understanding the differences between ...

Over the years of 10 gigabit Ethernet’s existence, there have been numerous different form factors and optics types introduced. The oldest, XENPAKS, remain very popular as the install base is large, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. As SFP+ (enhanced small form-factor pluggable) becomes more pervasive, engineers need to become familiar with some of ...
