Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). • Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) • Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a networking standard developed in the early 1980s by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for operatin...

Multimode vs. single-mode fibre. • Multimode vs. Singlemode Fibre • Multimode fibre cable has a large-diameter core and therefore has multiple modes of propagation—that is, several wavelengths of light are used in the fibre core. It’s primaril...

Media converters. • Media converters • Seamlessly integrate 10, 100, and 1000 BASE-T, ThinNet, Thicknet and fibre optic cabling. • Inexpensively connect half- or full-duplex 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX! • Switch between different wiring systems ...

Black Box Explains: Networking Standards • As a result of research done at Xerox Corporation in the early 1970s, Ethernet has evolved into the most widely implemented physical and Data link layer protocol today and, in 1978, the International ...

Alien Crosstalk. • Alien Crosstalk • Alien Crosstalk (ANEXT) is a critical and unique measurement in 10-GbE systems. Crosstalk, used in 10/100/1000BASE-T systems, measures the mixing of signals between wire pairs within a cable. Alien Crosstal...
