Multi-mode fiber has been the workhorse for fiber optic communication within a data center for years, as well as the choice for Ethernet backbones in office buildings. It has a rich history that goes all the way back to the first optical fiber standards when 100 megabits per second was a huge data rate. Anybody remember those days? In Episode 56, we continue our conversation with Hao Dong, market technology development manager for Corning’s optical communications business. We get into the various multi-mode fiber standards, transceiver wavelengths, and future transceivers for multi-mode fiber. – Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager Hao Dong is a market technology development manager for Corning’s optical communications business. Within this role, he focuses on technology and market trends to identify, evaluate, and develop leading optical network solutions that form the backbone of today’s connected world. Hao has over 18 years of industry experience and has held various positions in engineering, development, and marketing within the fields of optical components, fiber lasers, and optical communications. Hao holds a Bachelor of Science in physics from Wuhan University and a Ph.D in physics from the University of Connecticut. One quick note: You'll hear Hao mention the need for a 100m reach fiber. Since we recorded this, Corning has released such a fiber. It's their ClearCurve OM4 XT multimode fiber.
