@cablingmag Yes, PON in the enterprise is another growth opportunity #COMMtweets

A10: A big driver for the growth in data center interconnects is virtualization and cloud computing, which makes redundancy, distributed compute and other coordination across multiple data centers. #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

A10: We see huge growth in the interconnects between data centers, sometimes the market segment is called data center campus or data center interconnects. #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

A8: data center interconnects are a good use case for rollable ribbon fiber #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

@DHSchoolar A6: lots of operators are also seeking for business cases in addition to use cases. #CommTweets

[frank @fyytw]

A6: I see network operators are investing a large amount of
fiber for network convergence #COMMtweets

A5: more accurately the news is the 400G 4.2 MSA endorsing OM5 with a 150m reach for 400G. #COMMtweets

A5: The news is the MSA endorsing OM5 with a 150m reach. #COMMtweets

A5: The IEEE in July approved a standard working group on 400G over 4 pairs bidirectional multimode fibers standard, called 400G 4.2 MMF standard. Cisco and others has announced the Multi-source agreement
(MSA) to develop the 400G Bidi technology. #COMMtweets

A4: For example, migrating from 10G over 2 fibers to 40G over 4 pairs of
fiber; I expect to see the similar scheme to happen with 100G and 400G #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

A4: I see migration from duplex fiber to parallel fiber when the network speeds are getting higher and higher. #COMMtweets

A3: Large core design
makes the receiver easier to capture lights. The multimode optical transceiver
is cheaper than its counterpart of single-mode transceiver. #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

A3: Multimode optical
fiber has a larger core size (say 50um) that permits many modes or rays of
light to be transmitted; Multi-mode fiber is used for shorter reach, for
example 100 meters for 100Gbps, or 500 meters for 10Gbps. #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

A3: Generally speaking, singlemode optical fiber has a small core size (say < 10 um) that permits only one mode or ray of light to be transmitted; Singlemode is designed to transmit signals in longer reach, for example, 40 miles. #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

@DHSchoolar A2: I agree #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

A1: fiber can also help enhance networking security from the physical layer, and network security is at the top of CIO’s mind. #COMMtweets

[frank @fyytw]

A1: fiber can provide
much better signal integrity, which results in high quality communications

Excited and ready to go #COMMTweets
