The Difference Between Multimode Fiber And Single-mode Fibers And Choice

2017-07-14
Single-mode fiber is mainly used in multi-frequency data transmission applications, usually using wavelength division multiplexing transmission mode (WDM,Wave-Division-Multiplexing) transfer mode after multiplexed optical signal only needs can be achieved with a single-mode optical fiber data transmission. Released in 2010, 100GBase-LR4, 2 1 a 1 core single mode fibers, core optical fiber at the same time multiplexed 4 wavelengths, each wavelength 25Gbps.
The Difference Between Multimode Fiber And Single-mode Fibers And Choice
Single-mode fiber transmission rate is higher than multimode fiber and transmission distances than multi-mode fiber up to 50 times more than and, therefore, its price is higher than the multimode fiber. Compare with multimode fiber, single mode fiber core diameter is much smaller, small core diameter and single mode transmission characteristics of optical signal transmission in a single-mode fiber will not be distorted pulses overlap. All fibre types, single-mode optical signal attenuation lowest rates, maximum transmission speed.
However, single mode fiber requires the use of high cost of laser (LD) light transceiver, single mode fiber laser transceivers at least is 3 times more than multimode fiber optic transceivers, power consumption at least twice more than double.

Conventional multimode fiber typically uses a serial transmission mode, in this mode to increase Ethernet transfer rate per-core fiber per-channel transmission rate must be increased. Serial Ethernet maximum transmission rate is currently 10Gbps/channels, IEEE is working on 25Gbps/channel 50Gbps/channel network standards, a case study of 400G Ethernet, 25Gbps/channel, 50Gbps/100Gbps channel 3 different versions, optical fiber core number need 32 cores/16/8-core, respectively. 400G Ethernet encoding used are NRZ,PAM4,DMT, more advanced encoding means that more complex circuits and power and thus cost more.
Multimode optical fiber network transfer rates of another method is to use parallel transmission mode, that is, increase transmission rates by increasing the optical fiber core number. 100GBase-SR10 10Gbps/released 2010-channel transmission, 10-Channel 10 channel sent, total 20-core optical fiber.

In the practical application in the past, choose multimode or single-mode is the most common determinant of distance. If only miles, the preferred model because LED transmitter/receivers are much cheaper than the single-mode laser needed. If the distance is greater than 5 miles, best single mode fiber. Another issue to consider is the bandwidth if future applications may include transmitting high bandwidth data signal, single-mode fiber is the best choice.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
