Deciphering the OM Fiber Designation

Steve Harris – OM5 leverages four short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) channels of 25 Gbps each to achieve higher 100 Gbps, 200 Gbps and 400 Gbps transmissions over MMF.

How Do We Use Optical Power Budgets?

By Steven Harris – Now that we understand the dBm and mW values, let’s return to the budget. A budget equation will take into account the various forms of loss that will be experienced in a fiber optic network.

Optical Dispersion

By Steven Harris – It is important to collaborate with our vendor community, the SCTE·ISBE standards programs and stay well-educated in the area of fiber optics with SCTE·ISBE offered resources.

Fiber Optic Performance for Ethernet Networks

By Steven Harris – It is important for service and business technicians to remain current with industry trends, service and performance verification.

The ODN Packs a Punch for Smart Cities

By Steven Harris – The ODN is ideal for backhauling data or delivering services for smart cities. The ODN supports the delivery of PONs like E/GPON over a tree, bus or ring topology.

The Digital HFC — A Path to 10G

By Steven Harris — Seasoned telecommunication professionals are well aware of the improvements digital video offered over analog video in the network. Operators leveraged Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) digital video and RF quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).

A Certified Fiber Optics Workforce 2020

By Steven Harris — Our networks are evolving to meet the ever-increasing thirst for bandwidth, whether that is with DOCSIS, fiber deep (FD), or passive optical network (PON) technology.

An Access Network Evolution with DAA

By Steven Harris — For all the folks supporting the traditional telecommunication access network, or the network connecting our subscribers, the evolution has begun! The priority of reliability, capacity, service quality and reduced latency for the customer experience is top of mind for operators.

10 Gbps Symmetrical with XGS-PON

By Steven Harris — Nowadays there are two symmetrical choices in the GPON roadmap for 10 Gbps: XGS-PON (ITU-T G.9807.1) and NG-PON2 (ITU-T G.989). In XGS-PON, the “X” refers to 10 Gbps while the “S” refers to symmetrical.

DOCSIS Provisioning of EPON, Passport to the Future!

By Steven Harris — Our networks are evolving to meet the ever-increasing thirst for bandwidth, whether that is with DOCSIS, fiber deep (FD), or passive optical network (PON) technology.
