[Cabling knowledge] how to distinguish between optical modules?

2017-09-21
The fiber optic connector consists of a plug of fiber and fiber, and the plug consists of a pin and a peripheral locking structure. According to different locking mechanism, fiber optic connectors can be divided into FC type, SC type, LC type, ST type and KTRJ type.

FC connector with threaded locking mechanism, is invented earlier, the most used one of the fiber optic active connector.
[Cabling knowledge] how to distinguish between optical modules?
SC is a rectangular connector, developed by the NTT, without screw connection, can be directly plug, compared with the FC connector with a small operating space, easy to use. Low-end Ethernet products are very common.

LC is developed by LUCENT Mini type SC connector, with a smaller size, has been widely used in the system, is the future development of fiber optic connector in a direction. Low-end Ethernet products are very common.

ST connectors are developed by AT & T, with bayonet locking mechanism, the main parameters of the indicators and FC and SC connector quite, but the company is not commonly used, usually used in multi-mode device connection, and other manufacturers equipment When docking, use more.

KTRJ pin is plastic, through the needle positioning, with the increase in the number of plug, the mating surface will wear, long-term stability as ceramic pin connector.

Huawei identified SM as single mode, MM is multi-mode.

The difference between single mode and multimode

General manufacturers will be in the color of the ring to distinguish, such as: black pull ring for the multi-mode, the wavelength is 850nm; blue is the wavelength of 1310nm module; yellow is the wavelength of 1550nm module; purple is the wavelength of 1490nm module.

    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.
