CSFP and CSFF, the future stars in the networking solutions

With the development of the cut edge technologies and trends of the telecommunication and networking industry, Sopto have started to develop the compact small form-factor pluggable CSFP transceivers and compact small form-factor CSFF transceivers which support network systems, especially those organizing single fiber bidirectional transceivers in high density applications, and enable network system operators to increase port density and data throughput, while reducing network equipment cost.
The CSFP MSA defines a transceiver mechanical form-factor with latching mechanism and a host board, SFP-like, electrical edge connector and cage. The CSFF MSA also defines a transceiver mechanical form-factor.
The dual-channel CSFP is compatible with the standard SFP cage. The single-channel CSFP and CSFF are half the size of the industry-standard SFP and SFF packages. The CSFF design is modular to enable configurations of integrated 2ch modules. In the future Sopto will develop 4ch CSFP modules.

Time Management I Learnt from Sopto Family

Sopto provides lot of trainings for developing the abilities of all employees, including the fiber optical products training, etiquette training, international trade training, e-commerce training, as well as other skills training like personal time management. These are essential skills for effective persons. Let’s talk a little about work smarter and improve time utilization.
People who use these techniques consistently are the highest achievers in all walks of life, from business to sport to public service. You will be able to function effectively, even under intense pressure if you use skills well. At the heart of time management is an important move in focus:
Concentrate on results, not on being busy!
Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but achieve very little because they are not concentrating on the right things.
The 80:20 Rule
This is neatly summed up in the Pareto Principle, or the '80:20 Rule'. This argues that typically 80% of unfocussed efforts generate only 20% of outcomes. The rest 80% of results are achieved with only 20% of the effort. While the ratio is not always 80:20, this broad form of a small proportion of activity generating non-scalar returns recurs so frequently as to be the norm in many areas.

Personally, I have benefited from the first step which requires us to record what I do in every single hour. Few days later, it is really clear that how I spend time in the work. How much efforts achieve how many results. Now I learnt how to set realistic goals, generate a plan and leverage all of the opportunities that work offers.

What is Fiber Media Converter?

Fiber media converters are simple networking devices that make it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling. They were introduced to the industry nearly two decades ago, and are important in interconnecting fiber optic cabling-based systems with existing copper-based, structured cabling systems. They are also used in MAN access and data transport services to enterprise customers.
Media conversion types
    Fiber media converters support many different data communication protocols including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, T1/E1/J1, DS3/E3, as well as multiple cabling types such as coax, twisted pair, multi-mode and single-mode fiber optics. Media converter types range from small standalone devices and PC card converters to high port-density chassis systems that offer many advanced features for network management.
On some devices, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables proactive management of link status, monitoring chassis environmental statistics and sending traps to network managers in the event of a fiber break or even link loss on the copper port.
Fiber media converters can connect different Local area network (LAN) media, modifying duplex and speed settings. Switching media converters can connect legacy 10BASE-T network segments to more recent 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet infrastructure. For example, existing Half-Duplex hubs can be connected to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network segments over 100BASE-FX fiber.
When expanding the reach of the LAN to span multiple locations, media converters are useful in connecting multiple LANs to form one large campus area network that spans over a limited geographic area. As premises networks are primarily copper-based, media converters can extend the reach of the LAN over single-mode fiber up to 130 kilometers with 1550 nm optics.
Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology in the LAN is especially beneficial in situations where fiber is in limited supply or expensive to provision. As well as conventional dual strand fiber converters, with separate receive and transmit ports, there are also single strand fiber converters, which can extend full-duplex data transmission up to 70 kilometers over one optical fiber.
Other benefits of media conversion include providing a gradual migration path from copper to fiber. Fiber connections can reduce electromagnetic interference.
Also fiber media converters pose as a cheap solution for those who want to buy switches for use with fiber but do not have the funds to afford them , they can buy ordinary switches and use fiber media converters to use with their fiber network.

What is fiber optical adaptor?

A fiber-optic adapter is a small device used to connect fiber-optic cables together. These adapters have many different shapes, but they all serve the same purpose. A fiber-optic adapter allows fiber-optic cables to be attached to each other singly or in a large network, allowing many devices to communicate at once.
The most common use for a fiber-optic adapter is simply to connect two fiber-optic cables to one another. Connecting two cables together can allow two devices to communicate from a distance through a direct connection with the fiber-optic line. These simple types of adapters are often referred to as mating sleeves because they allow two cables to connect to one another. Some of these common line to line connectors are also built to connect three or four cables together.
There are a number of different shapes of adapters available, depending on the make-up of the two cables that are to be connected. If the connecting cables are all the same shape, an adapter with square, rectangular, or round inputs can be used. These adapters are comprised of two or more female connections that the fiber-optic cables can be plugged into.
When attempting to connect two cables that are different shapes, it is necessary to use a type of fiber-optic adapter called a hybrid connector. A hybrid connector can be designed to fit any two types of fiber-optic cables together. There are many different types of hybrid connectors, so it is important to know what type of cables need to be connected before purchasing one.
There are also adapters that can be used to attach a bare fiber-optic cable to a connection piece. This piece allows the cable to fit into a connection slot, whether into a mating sleeve or into an electronic device. The fiber-optic cable can be fit into an adapter that works with any of the standard shaped connectors.
In addition to connectors that tie two fiber-optic lines together, there are also fiber-optic adapter panels that can be used to connect multiple fiber-optic lines. In a device such as this, connections can be made between any of the lines plugged into the panel. Though a single adapter panel can usually only hold a dozen or so cables, the panels can also be spliced together, allowing hundreds or thousands of connections to be made.

Sopto supplies a broad range of high performance fiber optical transmission components for Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), Storage Area Networks (SANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) and Access Networks (ANs). SOPTO optical transceivers include 100 Mbps transceiver for Fast Ethernet, 155 Mbps transceivers for SDH STM-1/SONET OC-3/ATM, 1.0625 Gbps, 2.125Gbps, 4.25Gbps, and 10Gbps transceivers for Fiber Channel, 1.25 Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 4.25Gbps, and 10Gbps transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet. There are hundreds of optical transceivers available from 100Mbps up to 40Gbps data rate.
