3、her port densities, pluggability, and parallel links are showing an increased need to focus on connectivity and interoperability issues,A failure anywhere along this link will cause the entire link to fail,.,.,Conclusions,Historically, the fundamental concepts of fiber optics date back to 1927 Multi
4、mode fibers use a core diameter of either 50 or 62.5 microns Short wavelength lasers Shorter distances (few hundred meters) Single-mode fibers use a core diameter of 9-10 microns Long wavelength lasers Longer distances (several kilometers) A basic link is composed of optical transceivers, cables, and connectors Fiber optics is widely used for both voice and data communication, and is gradually becoming a more fundamental part of future computer architectures,
