How SFP transceivers can enable quick, cost-effective fiber connectivity for manifold applications
By Biju (Brad) Oommen Originally published in Cabling Installation & Maintenance How SFP transceivers can enable quick, cost-effective fiber connectivity for manifold applications April 24, 2018 By BIJU OOMMEN -- Bandwidth usage is increasing and we never seem to have enough of it. The full range of applications and associated systems -- such as streaming video, video conferencing, two way telepresence, fifth-generation mobile networks ( 5G ), streaming 4K/UltraHD TV, Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) which are new forms of immersive media, Internet of Things (IoT), High-Speed Internet Access (HSIA), cloud computing-based communications and storage architectures, automation technologies, and more -- are available and plausible only if you have adequate bandwidth. Indeed, fiber-optic communication systems can deliver the required high bandwidth and high-speed connectivity. For fiber optic communication systems, transceivers with ho
