Beam Me Up: Unveiling the Speed & Technology of Fiber in Data Centers
Ғылым және технология
We will cover OM1-OM4 multimode cables, and introduce the new OM5 cable for 100-400G. Understand cable connectors used in LAN and today's Data Centers. Build a modern transceiver, and learn about SerDez and the critical ASIC chips that drive higher speeds in the Data Center.
A critical view of the cost/benefits of transceiver options. Look at the MPO/MTP connectors and how they transform fiber density.

Overall this is a really informative video. Great for getting someone up to speed with fiber. One thing though, there is a difference between path loss and return loss. Path loss (including intrinsic losses) is the attenuation of the signal down the path between the transmitter and receiver. Return loss is the value of how much light is reflected back to the source. They are very different things. Great work. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Small correction: a plenum is an air _circulation_ space. If air doesn't normally flow through it, it's not a plenum. The drop ceiling in most commercial structures is a plenum as it's the return path for HVAC systems. In residential settings, most setups have ducted returns. (In my parents house, the space under the stairs is a plenum as the return duct is open to the back of the stairs, vs. ducts run all the way to the registers. In my house, there are two large ducts leading to filtered registers, one in a wall, the other in a ceiling.) Note: I had this very conversation with engineers, architects, and city inspectors w.r.t. a computer room ("data center"). We had to have revised plans _explicitly_ stating the area above the ceiling was NOT a plenum. Yes, HVAC ducts pass through the space, but there is no air moving in the space; the room is otherwise vapor sealed. (this was but one of the many nits picked with the city.)

actually you would be well advised to use OS2 single mode cabling. That will allow you to move the signal from your FTTH connection to anywhere in the house and the extra cost of transceivers is trivial. Also OS2 is now cheaper than OM cabling of any grade. That said, cat 6a is fine for housing. Just put in empty tubing so you can pull the fiber cable if you should ever need to do so.
This is a fantastic video, balancing basic theory and standard implementations.

Regarding 40 Gigabit in the chart at 5:03, there is one additional option, beyond the singlemode and MTP/MPO options: 40GBASE-SR-BD (or 40GBASE-SR-BiDi, short for Bi-Directional) uses the same kind of two-strand multimode cable used with 10GBASE-SR, but gives you 40 Gigabit Ethernet. With 40GBASE-SR4, you have an MTP/MPO-12 connector carrying 8 10Gbps wavelengths (four in each direction). With the 40GBASE-SR-BD, the transceiver combines the 10Gbps "lanes" into two 20Gbps lanes, sending each out over the two fiber strands. That's where the bi-directional part comes in: In each strand, you have 20Gbps wavelengths traveling in each direction. Although the length limitations for 40GBASE-SR-BD are lower than those of 10GBASE-SR, this is a great way to upgrade from 10 Gigabit to 40 Gigabit without needing to replace fiber. That's probably why, if you order a 40GBASE-SR-BD transceiver today, it'll take several months to arrive!

With all that being said, in a fiber optic installation with patch panels on either end, should the sequence in the panels be the same, and the cross over take place on one of the patch cable (assuming a pair on strands is required between two switches)?
