> Optics: Lead in defining market requirements for process and technology transitions for optimal convergence
Does this mean that in a couple years the half-dozen different parameters for fiber network stuff will be standardized enough for no-thought-required home use like RJ-45 / CAT6 wired ethernet is today?
- wmf 5y agoNo, this will never happen. Longer reach is more expensive but the industry won't pay the highest prices for everything if they don't need to.
- namibj 5y agoWell, OM3/4 on MPO is a common thing, as is OS2 on dual-LC.
- mmmBacon 5y agoOptical connectivity for short reach (distance) is pretty well standardized and has been for years at least at 1G and above. The biggest barrier for a home user would be familiarizing oneself with the fact you can’t bend fibers like you can copper and you have to keep connectors clean. Other than that you should be able to connect and go.
