Fiber Optics in the LAN and Data Center

We will cover OM1-OM4 multimode cables, and introduce the new OM5 cable for 100-400G. Understand cable connectors used in LAN and today's Data Centers. Build a modern transceiver, and learn about SerDez and the critical ASIC chips that drive higher speeds in the Data Center. A critical view of the cost/benefits of transceiver options. Look at the MPO/MTP connectors and how they transform fiber density.
