Cisco Optics Podcast Ep 58. The smartest data center operators use multi-mode fiber - do you? (7/7)

Cisco Podcast Network

Multi-mode fiber has been the workhorse for fiber optic communication within a data center for years, as well as the choice for Ethernet backbones in office buildings. It has a rich history that goes all the way back to the first optical fiber standards when 100 megabits per second was a huge data rate. Anybody remember those days? In Episode 58, we conclude our conversation with Hao Dong, market technology development manager for Corning’s optical communications business. We continue with the reach of high speed standards for multi-mode fiber and the impact on data center deployments and then close with chromatic and modal dispersion. – Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager Hao Dong is a market technology development manager for Corning’s optical communications business.
