Definition1000 BASE transceivers are kind of small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. They are used for both telecommunication and data communications applications.1000 BASE transceivers links your switches and routers to the network. The hot-swappable input/output device plugs into a Gigabit

Definition:1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. Each 1000BASE-T network segment can be a maximum length of 100 meters (330 feet), and must use Category 5 cable or better. Autonegotiation is a requirement for using 1000BASE-T according to Sect

DefinitionSFP ports are devices designed for use with small form factor (SFF) connectors, and offer high speed and physical compactness. A SFP is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into the SFP ports,linking the switch with the fiber-optic network.The Cisco 4948 switch has four ports tha

DefinitionThe small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for both telecommunication and data communications applications. The form factor and electrical interface are specified by a multi-source agreement (MSA) under the auspices of the SFF Committee. It interface

DefinitionAn optical fiber (or optical fibre) is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in f

Definition:IEEE 802.3 is a working group and a collection of IEEE standards produced by the working group defining the physical layer and data link layer‘s media access control (MAC) of wired Ethernet. This is generally a local area network technology with some wide area network applications. Physic

You may have a name brand network switch or a name brand router, but it doesn’t mean that you need to pay an expensive cost on name brand transceivers. Though many people still get confused on “third-party transceivers”, there is no doubt that the emergence of third-party transceivers really offers

There is a common question about the X2 and SFP Compatibility always asked by users in different cases.The more detailed Qs you can read as follows:Q1: “I have a X2-10GB-LX4 in a core switch, I need to connect a WLC8510 which uses SFP+ optics, is there a compatible SFP that will work?”Q2: Issue One:

Definition:XENPAK is a multisource agreement (MSA), instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems, that defines a fiber-optic or wired transceiver module which conforms to the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 working gr
