The number of optical fiber links between switches, storage area network (SANs), and equipment continue to rise in data center environments due to increasing data and bandwidth needs. As connections between core, SAN, interconnection, and access switches push to 50, 100, 200 or higher gigabit per second (Gb/s) speeds and require low-latency transmission to effectively manage larger volumes of data, fiber is emerging as the dominant media type for data center infrastructure. As the flexibility,  … Read more
