Short reach optical interfaces standard
The International Telecommunications Union has updated its global standard for very short reach optical interfaces.
The standard ITUT G.693, intended for intraoffice applications, is aimed at establishing interoperable equipment designs.
"Evergrowing bandwidth demands and higher data rates from 2 Gbps to 10 Gbps and even 40 Gbps are driving the migration from electrical to optical intraoffice connections," the ITU said in a statement announcing the standard.
The ITU said the standard addressed the need for low cost, high speed optical links to interconnect co-located equipment such as routers and dense wavelength division multiplex terminals.
