This is a simple update on the last post regarding POF and Light Peak. In an interview to Tech-On, Jason Ziller, director of Optical I/O Planning/Marketing at Intel states: Q: How long is the wavelength of optical signals used for Light Peak? Ziller: It is 850nm. Optical signals are transmitted via optical fibers made of [...]
For those who haven’t seen any keynote from Intel’s IDF for the last couple of years, Light Peak is the code name for a revolutionary technology that will allow cheap interconnects at 10Gbps, for domestic usage, based on optical technology. Here’s a quick into on Light Peak: Now, there’s a number of obvious limitations on using [...]
Probably, one of the most important technologies ever invented for the home is plastic fiber, POF (plastic optical fiber). Unfortunately, it’s mostly unknown to most people, unless you work on the industrial grade networks. POF is basically the same technology as the old S/PDIF optical cable, but with a XXI century technology, from 2Mbps to [...]
