How MCNC operated and maintained 5,000 miles of fiber across North Carolina with a lean operations team

EXFO’s renowned OTDR accuracy, reliability and durability in a compact form factor.

One-cord referencing ensures faster, more accurate fiber testing by reducing errors, saving time, and meeting industry standards in data centers.

This webinar is presented by Lightwave + BTR Service providers are moving beyond 100 Gbps in the metro network, driven by 5G, cloud computing, and AI. At the same time, the shift toward bringing more functions closer to the edge is reshaping the metro network landscape.  This webinar explores evolving metro requirements and the technologies addressing them, including the growing adoption of coherent optics. We discuss how service providers are re-architecting networks, transitioning from legacy OTN to Open Line Systems (OLS) with 400ZR/ZR+, and maintaining existing OTN for lower-rate traffic. Attendees will gain practical insights into validating and optimizing 400ZR/ZR+ links within OLS deployments, including multi-vendor environments.  Key topics include:  The evolution from central office-based architectures to data center focused networks  Deploying and testing high-speed 400ZR/ZR+ interfaces  Troubleshooting common problems, including DWDM network issues  Adapting testing strategies for modern optical transport  Speakers  François Marcotte, Subject Matter Expert - EXFO  Harald Bock, Chief Product Officer - Ekinops 

EXFO today unveiled the telecom industry’s first 1.6T validation system that supports the complete end-to-end 1.6T ecosystem—from design to component and transceiver manufacturing, to ongoing validati...

One of the main causes of service interruptions in fiber-optic networks is faulty connectors. These small yet mighty optical components are the #1 headache for field crews working under time constrain...
