Connector inspection and cleaning: Why is it vital in 5G networks?

5G networks will require a lot of fiber deployed more densely and deeper into the network. While installing new fiber, or upgrading the current fiber infrastructure, connector inspection will be a priority as faulty connectors are known to be the number 1 cause of network failure. This webinar will highlight the consequences of damaged or dirty connectors and will also delve into best practices for the handling, inspecting and cleaning of optical connector endfaces. Key takeaways: The role of fiber in 5G The impact of damaged or dirty connectors Best practices: fiber optic connector inspection and cleaning

Certification tests for FTTH networks in unbalanced splitter situations

This webinar is in Spanish. FTTx networks are under continuous evolution and expansion to cover the growing demand for high speeds required by end users and the industry. Likewise, the technology continues to grow, looking for a quicker return on investment and greater simplicity in the deployment of its networks, leading to situations of FTTx networks with unbalanced splitter. Such networks bring us new challenges, whether it be during installation, activation or maintenance, to guarantee an optimal level of service for the client. In this session we will focus on the latest advances in the market regarding smart test solutions that allow the complete setup of unbalanced splitter networks in a more precise and automated way. We will also provide new developments to optimize the measurement processes in the field and management of such measurements in the cloud for a better view of the deployment in real time.

Mediciones de enlaces ópticos en Centros de Datos

Los invitamos a esta serie de dos seminarios web, donde abordaremos la importancia de la validación de la infraestructura óptica y la transmisión de información en Centros de Datos. La disponibilidad de los Centros de Datos es fundamental. Hoy en día, tiempos muy largos de afectación suponen gastos descomunales, por lo que las instalaciones deben ser en extremo confiables. En EXFO, estamos comprometidos a ayudar a todos nuestros clientes, para que puedan ofrecer la mejor calidad de servicio y experiencia posible en sus Centros de Datos. Acompáñenos a estos 2 seminarios web. Para nosotros será un honor que nos permita mostrarle las opciones de equipos de medición y metodologías que ofrecemos, queremos ser su mejor aliado al momento de ejecutar la resolución de sus problemas, donde sea que haya fibra. Sesión 1- Mediciones de enlaces ópticos en Centros de Datos - 19 mayo. En este seminario web usted conocerá las pruebas necesarias para asegurar el correcto estado de los enlaces ópticos “intra/entre” Centros de Datos. Sesión 2 - Validación de enlaces de datos dentro y fuera del Centros de Datos, el mundo después de 10G - 2 junio. Conocerá en este seminario web las pruebas capa 2, 3 y 4 necesarias en la validación de enlaces Ethernet “intra/entre” Centros de Datos.

R&M & EXFO on Passive Optical LAN Premium Solution

This session is to cover one of the most popular presentations R&M have done over the last few years around GPON, POL, PON. There are still a lot of misconceptions around Passive Optical LAN (POL) network architecture, what it is for, what it can do and how to design for it. R&M presents a complete range for POL - the space-saving and cost-efficient alternative to structured Fiber Optic cabling system. “Supported by EXFO’s expertise in specifying Methods of Procedures (MOPs) for optical and POLAN networks, both Speakers will develop these points reviewing best practices and how to avoid pitfalls”.

Kohärente 400G-Verbindungen sind das nächste große Ding! Was genau sind sie?

This webinar is presented in German. Kohärente 400G-Verbindungen werden mittlerweile in großem Umfang eingesetzt, um beispielsweise optimale Interconnect-Verbindungen zu gewährleisten. Durch den Einsatz neuer digitaler optischer Transceiver (Digital Optical Pluggables DCO) wird eine effizientere Übertragung erreicht, denn die Vorteile dieser Verbindungen sind vielfältig: größere Reichweiten, Vereinfachung des Netzwerks, Interoperabilität mit verschiedenen Anbietern, niedrigere Kosten pro Bit, Flexibilität beim Klientensignal und die lang erwartete IP over WDM-Fähigkeit. Im zweiten Teil dieser Webinar-Reihe demonstrieren wir eine echte kohärente Verbindung und die wichtigsten Elemente, die damit im Zusammenhang stehen. Sie erfahren außerdem mehr über die kohärente 400G-Technologie im Detail: Kohärente Verbindungsstandards: 400ZR, OpenZR+ und OpenROADM Vielseitigkeit der Reichweiten, Vorwärtsfehlerkorrekturvarianten und Kliententypen Welche Elemente müssen validiert werden: Validierung und Einsatz von Transceivern Verbindungsstabilität Typische Anwendungsbeispiele

5 Best practices you need to know about MPO testing in data centers

While MPO connectors are gaining in popularity, they also come with their share of challenges. Especially in a data center context. Ensuring link performance and getting it right the first time is critical. How to ensure MPO link performance? It all starts with testing. This session will cover what you need to do to ensure the quality of your link. You will learn the following actions: Perform proper inspection of MPO connectors in a data center, Identify the main causes of failure and which tools to use to clean when needed Validate the polarity type of MPO links Confirm link continuity Select the right referencing method to perform testing. Attendees will earn one BICSI Continuing Education Credit

Pourquoi la synchronisation en temps et en phase est critique pour les réseaux mobiles 5G

(This webinar is presented in French only) Les réseaux mobiles 5G requièrent une synchronisation en temps et en phase afin de supporter les fonctionnalités avancées telles que le duplexage par répartition dans le temps (TDD – Time Division Duplex), ou l’agrégation de porteuse (CA – Carrier Aggregation), et ainsi atteindre des niveaux de performances élevés. Les opérateurs se tournent maintenant vers une distribution de la synchronisation à travers leurs réseaux, en utilisant le protocole IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) en combinaison avec SyncE (Synchronous Ethernet). Durant cette session, nous discuterons des défis de la synchronisation dans les réseaux mobiles, de l’évolution des standards de synchronisation ainsi que des méthodes de validations pour assurer un niveau de performance optimal.
