Copper to Fiber Network - Versitron's Fiber optic devices

  Fiber optic networks are widespread owing to the vast array of benefits they offer. High speed of transmission, data security, immunity against electromagnetic and radio frequencies, etc are some of the benefits that contributed to the popularity and widespread use of fiber optic networks. However, durability is one of the overlooked advantages of these cables. The fiber optic networks offer a long life cycle. The life expectancy of fiber optics is generally estimated to be 30 years. In spite of their long shelf life, these fiber optic cables are susceptible to damage if exposed to certain damaging factors. In order to prevent damage to fiber cables and maintain the performance efficiency of the fiber optic networks, it is essential to know about the damaging factors. This post discusses different factors that can damage the fiber cables which eventually results in a reduction in the performance efficiency of fiber-based networks.   An Overview of Fiber Optic Network and Its Depl

  The need for high-speed, efficient, and safe data transmission through technologies such as Millimeter Wave, MIMO and high intensity antennas is one of the factors that has spearheaded the development of 5G networks. Evolved out of 4G/LTE, 5th Generation wireless system (5G) is a much advanced version of the former. 5G is still in a very nascent market stage and being deployed gradually in specific applications. In terms of advanced features, 5G has a low latency rate and a much higher speed and capacity than 4G. Once 5G stabilizes in the market, it is likely to be used by millions of smartphone users and for IoT applications as well Machine to Machine (M2M) communications. SFP transceivers and fiber optics have a role to play in 5G.     SFP or small form factor pluggable transceivers are used as flexible interfacing devices that are connected to copper or fiber optic cables in such networks. SFP modules are widely used in tel
