Basics of PhotonicsSingle mode only one signal can be
transmitted use of single frequency
Multi mode Several signals can be
transmitted Several frequencies used
to modulate the signal
Losses in optical fibers Attenuation loss Dispersion loss Waveguide loss
Losses in optical fibers To connect to fibers
mechanically or by fusion Lot of signal loss possible Very accurate alignment
necessary Most important cost factor Now being replaced by optical
amplifiers
Optical Receivers Must be very sensitive Capable of picking up and
amplifying signals of nanowatts Photodiodes and
phototransistors These devices get ‘turned ON’

Dual-fiber vs Single-fiber
Dual-fiber vs Single-fiber Dual-fiber is the standard mode of transmission where there are
two strands of fibers used: one strand for transmit (Tx) and the other strand for receive (Rx)
Single-fiber transmission uses only one strand of fiber for both transmit and receive (1310nm and 1490nm for 1Gbps; 1310nm and 1550nm for 100Mbps)

Uses standard RJ45 connectors and Category 5e or higher cabling Intelligent power redundancy extended to devices. Consolidate UPS
infrastructure The UTP consists of two copper conductors, each having their own
insulating material (e.g. plastic), intertwined with each other to cancel induced current.
The reason for placing twist in the pair of wires is to minimize the vulnerability of the twisted pair cable to external electrical noise.

With wavelength division multiplexing, separate colors are multiplexed, sent together, and de-multiplexed at the receiving end.

100G BDX8 Program – Time to Market Risk Mitigation
Non-XL 100G Blade
• XL blade challenges with TCAM integration puts schedule at serious risk
• Critical delivery schedules driven by LINX and others
• IXP do not require large table sizes enabled by TCAM
• Risk mitigation plan:• Create version without TCAM - PCB spin with
termination resistors• Still has 64k table entries – more than
sufficient for IXP• Lower cost, lower power, lower heat, higher
MTBF• LINX was very happy with this plan as they
must deliver 100G to key CDN customer before June
• XL TCAM development will continue in parallel with new non-XL version
