The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
While the similarities between single-mode and multimode installation and testing are similar, there are important differences and considerations that should be known by even the most experienced network engineers. Some of these things include what’s driving single-mode adoption, duplex vs. MTP single-mode options, understanding insertion loss budgets, optimizing cable systems for density, cable and end face testing tips, and troubleshooting OTDR. While there are some traditional thoughts around single-mode, however, there are some misconceptions. Are single-mode connections harder to keep clean? Is there a cost premium to single-mode transceivers? Are all single-mode applications duplex? What are the safety concerns with the higher-powered single-mode lasers? What are the ideal distances for single-mode? Do you need attenuators on shorter links? Does reflectance make single-mode harder to test? This session will identify how to put your next single-mode project on the right path.
