Copper Cable vs Fibre Optic Cable Price, Is the Copper Really Cheaper?
Budget is always the most direct choice factor when installing cables. Copper cable vs fibre optic cable price, it’s true that the popular impression is that copper is cheap, fibre is expensive. Well, at a certain period in the past decades, it’s true. However, today with the development of networking, is copper cabling really cheaper than fibre optic cabling? Copper vs Fibre: What’s the Difference? Copper and fibre optic…
What Is VLAN and How It Works?
With the rapid growth of networks in size and complexity, many companies have adopted VLAN technology to simplify network design and deployment. Then, what is VLAN and how it works? Let’s have a look at this post and then find an answer. What Is VLAN and How It Works? What Is VLAN? It’s known that a LAN (local area network)…
GPON: Optimal Solution to FTTH
Recently, the increasing spread of the Internet is the major driver for the development of new access technologies, which demand more capacities to carry to bandwidth. Among these technologies, Fiber to the Home (FTTH) appears the most suitable choice. An optimal option for FTTH technology, Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) provides one of the most cost-effective ways to bandwidth-intensive applications…
VPLS vs VPWS—How Much Do You Know?
Recently, network virtualization technology is the most popular and advanced technology both in our daily life and professional fields. There is a wide range of VPN technology available, such as VPLS and VPWS. Based on the use of Ethernet transport, VPLS and VPWS provide high-speed communications. But many business users who are seeking the most cost-efficient and efficient solutions for their…
The Advantages of CATV EDFA
Optical amplifiers serve as an integrated part of long haul data transmission. Fiber optical transponders and fiber optical amplifier are used in the WDM fiber optic system, and it makes WDM transmission possible. In recent years, fiber optic CATV EDFA System, especially the 1500nm optical fiber CATV System, is being rapidly developed in our country. What is EDFA? Erbium Doped Fiber…
Understanding the FTTx Network
FTTx technology plays an important role in providing higher bandwidth for a global network. And FTTx (fiber to the x) architecture is a typical example of substituting copper by fiber in high data rate traffic. According to the different termination places, the common FTTx architectures include FTTH, FTTB, FTTP, FTTC, and FTTN. This article will introduce these architectures respectively. What…
