Definition:Coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) is a method of combining multiple signals on laser beams at various wavelengths for transmission along fiber optic cables, such that the number of channels is fewer than in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) but more than in standa

Definition:SFP transceivers are available with a variety of transmitter and receiver types, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required optical reach over the available optical fiber type (e.g. multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber). SFP modules are com

DefinitionSFP transceivers are an interface with a motherboard, router, switch or optical media converter. Link connection into a fiber optic copper cable. Support SONNET, Fiber Channel, Gibe or similar standards. There are both multi-mode and single mode SFP transceiver types.Single-mode SFPSingle-

Definition:The 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 interfac

Definition:A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a standard for transceivers, commonly used with Gigabit Ethernet and fibre channel in the 2000s.[citation needed] By offering a standard, hot swappable electrical interface, one gigabit port can support a wide range of physical media, from copper to

Definition: In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber (SMF) is an optical fiber designed to carry light only directly down the fiber – the transverse mode. For single-mode optical fiber, no matter it operates at 100 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s date rates , the transmission distance can reach

DefinitionA networking standard that supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps (100 megabits per second). 100base t is based on the older Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often referred to as Fast Ethernet. Officially, the 100BASE T standard is IEEE 802.3u.A t

DefinitionWith the widespread of Cisco routers and switches, Cisco SFP transceiver modules for Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications have also been popular in the market. The Cisco GLC-LH-SM/Cisco GLC-LH-SMD is one of the Cisco SFP transceiver modules. Cisco GLC-LH-SM is the Cisco 1000BASE

Definition1000BASE-SX is a fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard for operation over multi-mode fiber using a 770 to 860 nanometer, near infrared (NIR) light wavelength.1000BASE-LX is a fiber optic gigabit Ethernet standard specified in IEEE 802.3 Clause 38 which uses a long wavelength laser (1,270–1
