#fibreoptic — Public Fediverse posts

Fibre-Optic Curiosity Poll: people who deploy single-mode point-to-point fibre links (any distance beyond inside a datacenter), do you use two-strand optics, or single-strand with two colours? Please #boost!

I very much lean on Bi-Di optics since I figure there's half the amount of OSP cable to go wrong, and swapping failed optics is MUCH easier than splicing a bad strand in an inaccessible flooded underground vault that's on fire.

Let me know in the comments what you do, and why.

[Note top-of-rack/intra-rack and in-datacenter is NOT what I'm asking about that. That's the realm of MMF and DACs.]

Additionally I'm wondering about NNIs and medium-haul 100G+ links, since bidi there is LESS common, but is beginning to happen. LR4 -> LR2 <- LR1???

#Scientists have demonstrated #quantum #teleportation over the #Internet for the first time

It may not be teleportation like you see in the movies, but it's real. Scientists at Northwestern University have successfully demonstrated, for the first time, quantum teleportation via #fibre #optic cables carrying internet traffic.
