Takeaways

• 😀 Optical fiber transceivers (SFP) use light for data transmission, offering advantages over traditional copper cables that use electromagnetic signals.
• 📏 Optical fiber can transmit data over significantly longer distances—up to 120 kilometers—compared to the 100 meters limitation of Ethernet cables.
• ⚡ Optical fiber supports much higher bandwidths, with current technologies offering speeds up to 100 Gbps, while Ethernet typically maxes out around 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps.
• 🔌 Fiber optics are immune to electromagnetic interference, making them a reliable choice for installations near electrical equipment.
• 🖥️ Mikrotik has a variety of devices designed to accommodate optical fiber, including switches and routers that support multiple SFP ports.
• 🌐 When choosing SFP transceivers, it's important to determine whether to use multi-mode or single-mode fiber based on the intended distance and environment.
• 🔄 Multi-mode fiber is generally used for shorter, indoor connections, while single-mode fiber is preferred for long-distance, outdoor applications.
• 📦 SFP transceivers come in different specifications (1G or 10G) and must be matched correctly to ensure optimal performance.
• 🧩 Specialized transceivers, like bi-directional (BD) types, allow for efficient use of single-core cables, which can save on material costs.
• 🔧 Proper connection of fiber optic cables requires specialized tools, such as fiber optic splicers, to ensure that the light signal is transmitted effectively.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the tutorial?

The tutorial focuses on SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers and optical fiber technology, highlighting their importance in modern networking.

How does optical fiber differ from copper in data transmission?

Optical fiber transmits data using light, while copper uses electromagnetic signals. This allows optical fiber to support much longer distances without degradation in quality.

What is the maximum effective distance for Ethernet cables?

The maximum effective distance for Ethernet cables is typically 100 meters.

What advantages does optical fiber provide over copper in terms of bandwidth?

Optical fiber can support much higher bandwidths, with current capacities reaching up to 10 Gbps and potentially exceeding Tera capacities for specialized applications.

Why are optical fibers more resistant to electromagnetic interference?

Optical fibers use light for transmission, making them immune to electromagnetic interference that can affect copper cables, especially when near high-voltage power lines.

Can you name some Mikrotik devices that support optical fiber connections?

Examples of Mikrotik devices with optical fiber support include the RB260GS switch, FiberBox (CRS105-5S-FB), and the CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM.

What is the difference between multi-mode and single-mode optical fibers?

Multi-mode fibers are used for shorter distances (up to 800 meters) and are typically for indoor use, while single-mode fibers are designed for longer distances (up to 120 km) and are suitable for outdoor installations.

What should be considered when choosing an SFP transceiver?

When selecting an SFP transceiver, one should consider the type of fiber (multi-mode or single-mode), the required distance, and ensure compatibility with either 1G or 10G specifications.

What is a BD (Bi-Directional) transceiver, and how does it work?

A BD transceiver allows the use of a single core for data transmission and reception by utilizing different frequencies for sending and receiving signals.

How can fiber optic cables be connected if they are broken?

If a fiber optic cable is broken, it can be repaired using a fiber optic splicer, which connects the ends of the cable to ensure the light signal can pass through without interruption.
