A small hint for your installation with Juniper gear. We faced a very interessting situation with two EX4200 in virtual chassis setup. The following behaviour can drive you…

For QSFP+ formfactor there are different variants. I did a comparison of the optical ones - February 2014 - updated August 2016: (without Active-Optical-Cables and…

Passive CWDM over a single or duplex single mode fiber is quite common to extend your overall bandwidth. In these days when 1G Ethernet was sufficient the main limiting factor…

It is by its very nature, that all BI-directional transceivers are mostly available for single fiber usage only. There are supposed to be Multimode-purpose BIDIs available,…

Newer machines, such as the 6505, support 2, 4, 8 and 16G Fibre Channel.  However, there is only limited choice of  8G and 16G Brocade SFPs to choose from. Nevertheless, there…

Cisco’s ONS platform like the 15454, is a quite powerful WDM platform for SDH/PDH and Ethernet environments. These days, the current version of the operating system also…

Typically you can run 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ up to 25km for single mode fibre in Brocade Fabric OS (e.g. serving the new Brocades 6505, 6510 or 6520).

A few days ago, I was asked to assist in the trouble-shooting of a Multimode Fibre Tap installation.Whilst on site, I noticed the following setup:

For a few weeks running now, we have been covering the subject of multimode optic installations, something which used to be standard practice in very many 20-year old buildings.…
