Fiber Optics Background

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pzTZ2YoFTYThis Corning promotional video shows how multimode and single-mode fiber is made. It goes through the whole process.Duration of video in minutes 9:48

PLEASE WATCH from minute 5:00 to 8:00 for introduction to single or multi-mode fiber

Fiber Optics Termination

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OosMQHQlY40• Duration in minutes 8:32• This Giganet instructional video shows the complexity of fiber

cabling termination. How to build connectors. • Can stop any time after 5:00 minutes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SthwoIDprrk• Duration in minutes 8:52• This commercial video also shows how to build an optical fiber

connector. It shows the “old style” vs new “fast” connectors.• Please start at 1:57, ends at 7:00

USB 3.0 Future• Until recently Ethernet dominated the LAN (Local Area Networks) and USB is dominating the

peripherals interconnect for many years. Started with USB 1.0-10Mbps , USB 2.0-480Mbps , USB 3.0-5000Mbps , USB 3.1-10,000Mbps.

• USB is supported by all Electronics products in the market. • USB deliver both Power and Communication over the same cable.• USB 1.0 and 2.0 were limited to few meters. But USB 3.0 standard is no longer distance limited

which makes it superior over Ethernet. Therefore position the USB as the dominating interface in the years to come.

Conclusion

1) USB 3.0 and it successors will dominate the interconnect.2) 5Gbps and higher bandwidth require optical fibers for distances more then few meters. (Optical

Fiber are cheaper then Copper for more then few meters applications)3) Current Optical cables are using multimode fibers which are more easy to assemble but suffer

from poor performance with bandwidth/Distance increase.OTX focused on attaching Single mode fiber to laser diodes and DetectorsTherefore provide for the same price better performance and functionality then Multimode Active Optical Fiber.
