The SFP transceiver is one of the best fiber optics on the market. It's regarded as the "modern workhorse" of the networking world because it is easily interchangeable, repaired, and replaced in a variety of designs. The hot-pluggable capability alone makes these devices desirable to designers in...

Bit Error Rate BER Definition and Basics
In telecommunication transmission, the bit error rate (BER) is the percentage of bits that have errors relative to the total number of bits received in a transmission, usually expressed as ten to a negative power. This can be directly translated into the...
