#259 - Fibre optics tips and tricks

Fibre optic communication is a powerful technology, but it's important to be aware of some key considerations.

- Check that the SFP module is compatible with the device. See below a compatibility matrix for the Stratix switches:

- Check that the same wave length is used between the emitter and receiver.

- There are different types of connectors, some of the most commonly used are: Lucent Connector (LC) and Standard Connector (SC).

- Fibre optic testers can be used to verify a data link. When connected at one end, they emit a laser light or pulse that can be detected at the opposite end. Attention to the adapters that may be required for the connection.
