Join us for a webinar in April 6 and earn BICSI credits. We will discuss parallel optics, OM3, OM4 and bend insensitive fiber and how all of it relates to the fiber optic structured cabling system in the modern data center.

You will learn:

• Why parallel optics is being used for 40/100G Ethernet transmission in the data center over multimode fiber
• How parallel optics works
• What OM3 and OM4 fiber means and how to determine which you should use
• What bend insensitive fiber is and its value in the data center structured cabling system

Webinar attendees can earn 1 Continuing Education Credit (CEC) for BICSIs RCDD, Installer, Technician or Certified Trainer designations.  Register today!

CABLExpress’ own  Senior Product Manager JT takes a look at the differences between OM3 and OM4 fiber.

These types of fiber cables are typically used in data center structured cabling environments running high speeds of 10G or even 40 or 100 Gigabit Ethernet, SAN (Storage Area Networking), Fiber Channel, FCOE (Fiber Channel Over Ethernet) with such manufacturers as Cisco, Brocade, EMC and others.  Typical applications could be Virtualization or internal cloud core data center applications.
