Choosing the Right Fiber for Your Enterprise and Data Center Network

Fiber optic backbones are the foundation of today's enterprise networks. Singlemode fiber has long been the fiber of choice in telecom networks, but multimode fiber still maintains an important presence in the enterprise. What fiber should today's network designer use and in what applications? Is there still a place for multimode fiber?

 

A variety of factors need to be considered when choosing the appropriate fiber type. New Ethernet standards continue to be developed. 400G systems are now being deployed in hyperscale networks, and 800G is being discussed. However, 1G and 10G modules both shipped in larger volumes than higher speeds in 2020. Link distance, transceiver costs, legacy application support, and installed cable plant are also considerations.

 

This class was originally presented at the BICSI 2021 Fall Conference.
