Gigalight MPO/MTP Cabling Training Held by Engireer Manager

On last Friday and this Wednesday, Gigalight engineer manager hold two training courses on MPO/MTP data center cabling for headquarter staff. The first was about Patchcord basic knowledge, including optical jumper definition, usages, connector types, structure, workshop, technical process, etc. The second was about MPO/MTP applications, such as Hydra cable usages, channel explanation, Harness and Trunk cable applications. 

Today networking environment becomes increasingly dependent on high-speed and high-density solutions, and the key concern is how to manage more cables in a smaller amount of space. The LC Uniboot patchcord reduces cable management space by 50% compared with standard LC duplex patchcord. 

MPO/MTP Cassette Modules provide secure transition between MPO/MTP and LC or SC discrete connectors.

Gigalight owns quality manufacture lines for MPO/MTP products, which can match bulk orders. 

For more information about MPO/MTP cabling, welcome to visit the linked website on the beginning of this article, thanks!

Gigalight Launched Second Generation Multi-mode Parallel Optical Engine

On August 17th, Gigalight announced successfully developing second generation multi-mode parallel optical engine that is capable of real-time monitoring on 4-12 channels of TX optical power, and equipped it on the Gigalight second generation 40G QSFP-SR4 optical transceiver. The core objective of second generation optical engine is to develop a micro-optics structured LENS, realize power-monitoring of multichannel parallel VCSEL light path, and bond easily to high speed module circuit boards.

Gigalight 40G QSFP+ SR4 GEN2 optical module applies integrated optical device which carried our innovative coupling Lens Array, to realize real-time monitoring of TX optical power, the function can effectively monitor and stabilize the TX optical power. The common QSFP+ SR4 optical module on the market actually do not have theTX optical powerreal-time monitoring function, for that is not only restricted by launch mode of VCSEL ARRAY,but also very difficult to embed a feedback optical signal on the current QSFP+ form factor. Gigalight successful development of 40G QSFP+ SR4 GEN2 strengthens its leadership in optical engine technology.

The picture below shows the relevant parameter of Gigalight second generation 40G QSFP-SR4equipped with second generation optical engine.The eye mask margins for all the 4-lanesare are higher than 30%, Rx sensitivity is better than -13DBM, TX power monitoring for 4 channels is normal.
