Cisco Optics

Cisco optics are small components that offer big advantages when it comes to your networking devices, particularly when it comes to service delivery speed. Able to provide this dramatic increase in speed by means of remote provisioning, Cisco optics provide networks with the ability to rapidly develop and deploy converged multimedia services including voice, video and data. Additionally, flexibility is provided with a variety of Cisco optic choices, with the various types including Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC), Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP), and 10 Gigabit modules including Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP), XENPAK, Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+), and X2. All of these types offer specific advantages unique to their design. For instance, Cisco GBICs are hot swappable, and serve to provide networks with simple, rapid upgrade capabilities so that they can easily achieve the latest interface technologies. Also hot-swappable, Cisco SFPs offer a different advantage in that they are uniquely suited to support the network’s ability to expand as their multiservice requirements grow.

In addition to a wide selection of Cisco optics types, there is also an extensive variety when it comes to the mode of connection. The various connection cabling available include copper, also known as 1000BASET, multimode fiber, also known as 1000BASE-SX, and singlemode fiber, also known as 1000BASE-LX. Copper is the more traditional connection cabling, and its advantages include cost efficiency and the ability to carry not only signals, but electrical power as well. However, fiber optic communication cabling is the up and coming technology, and features advantages including a high electrical resistance, reduced weight and size, ability to work for longer distances, and higher bandwidth capabilities. In addition to the connection cabling, there are two main types of connections: Lucent Connector or Local Connector (LC) and Subscriber Connector or Standard Connector (SC). With all of these options, Cisco optics are able to fit a wide range of customer requirements.
