Designed to be used in diverse applications, two types of optical fiber are available on the market; one is SMF or single-mode fiber, and the second is MMF or multimode fiber. This article will help our readers understand significant differences between multimode and single-mode type fibers.

By definition, a media converter is a flexible and cost-effective device designed to implement fiber links in almost every kind of network. Today, we have different types of media converters available on the market. The most often deployed type of media converter is a device that acts as a transceiver, which translates the electrical signals to light waves. Fiber optic connectivity becomes inevitable where the distances between two or more networking devices are greater than copper cable's transmission distances. Now let us discuss the benefits of media converters.

The designers and operators of data communication systems are looking for newer solutions to curtail with the ever-growing bandwidth demand and to maximize the reliability of data transmission.  One such system called FEC (forward error correction) has been proven pretty suitable. It's a technology that's been around for a long time to ensure effective data transfer over noisy channels. Let's study more about the FEC and its significance in optical networks where transmission volume and distance are increasing.
