    • Facilitating POLs over Existing Multimode Fiber Cabling Infrastructures with MPLC-Enabled Technology
      COVER ARTICLE
      Members
      Kevin Lenglé, Ph.D.To meet the high-speed and growing requirements for higher bandwidth, the first inclination is to install optical singlemode fiber. However, this approach in many instances makes the renovation of a standard LAN into a POL complex and costly. But what if an enterprise could benefit from the advantages of POL, while keeping its existing multimode fiber network?      18 min

    • Discover How to Convert Multimode Optical Fibers into Singlemode to Support Growing Bandwidth Demands
      COVER ARTICLE
      Members
      Kevin Lengle, Ph.D.Nearly 75 percent of the optical fibers deployed in the LAN are multimode. Bandwidth-intensive applications and latency-aware traffic are becoming ubiquitous. With MPLC-based technologies, there is no need for large costly cabling projects; simply convert multimode optical fibers into non-dispersion singlemode.      14 min

    The increases in bandwidth throughout every segment of the network are going to require more optical fiber everywhere in the network. Capacity per cable is the main driver supported by both increases in capacity per fiber and the number of fibers in cables. Similar requirements will emerge in the access and data center market segments as 5G rolls out.
