SFP Types

If you want to know the types of sfp transceivers that are available in the market, then read this information below.

SFP transceivers are available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required optical reach over the available optical fiber type (e.g. multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber).

Also called mini gbic sfp, these optical SFP modules are commonly available in several different categories: 850 nm 550m MMF (SX), 1310 nm 10 km SMF (LX), 1550 nm [40 km (XD), 80 km (ZX), 120 km (EX or EZX)], and DWDM. SFP transceivers are also available with a copper cable interface, allowing a host device designed primarily for optical fiber communications to also communicate over unshielded twisted pair networking cable. There are also CWDM and single-fiber "bi-directional" (1310/1490 nm Upstream/Downstream) SFPs.

SFP transceivers are commercially available with capability for data rates up to 4.25 Gbit/s. The standard is expanding to SFP+ which will be able to support data rates up to 10.0 Gbit/s (that will include the data rates for 8 gigabit Fibre Channel, 10GbE, and OTU2). SFP+ module versions for optics as well as copper are being introduced. In comparison to Xenpak, X2 or XFP type of modules, SFP+ modules leave some of the circuitry to be implemented on the host board instead of inside the module.

Industrial Uses of Boric Acid

Are you looking for places on where to buy borax online? Before you do, let me tell you that borax and its product, boric acid, has many industrial uses.

The primary industrial use of boric acid is in the manufacture of monofilament fiberglass usually referred to as textile fiberglass. Textile fiberglass is used to reinforce plastics in applications that range from boats, to industrial piping to computer circuit boards.

Still asking where can I buy boric acid? I'm sure you do.

Boric acid is used in nuclear power plants as a neutron poison to slow down the rate at which fission is occurring. Fission chain reactions are generally driven by the amount of neutrons present (as products from previous fissions).

Natural boron is 20% boron-10 and about 80% boron-11. Boron-10 has a high cross-section for absorption of low energy (thermal) neutrons. By adding more boric acid to the reactor coolant which circulates through the reactor, the probability that a neutron can survive to cause fission is reduced. Therefore, changes in boric acid concentration effectively regulate the rate of fission taking place in the reactor.

This method is only used in pressurized water reactors (PWR's). Boron is also dissolved into the spent fuel pools containing used uranium rods. The concentration is high enough to keep neutron multiplication at a minimum.

In the jewelry industry, boric acid is often used in combination with denatured alcohol to reduce surface oxidation and firescale from forming on metals during annealing and soldering operations.

Boric acid is used the production of the glass in LCD flat panel displays.

In electroplating, boric acid is used as part of some proprietary formulas. One such known formula calls for about a 1 to 10 ratio of H3BO3 to NiSO4, a very small portion of sodium lauryl sulfate and a small portion of H2SO4.

It is also used in the manufacturing of ramming mass, a fine silica-containing powder used for producing induction furnace linings and ceramics.

Will Rua Win Over Machida This Time?

I can't tell you enough why I am so excited to watch UFC 113 live stream online this coming weekend. I am a big Lyoto Machida fan and I'm sure he will prevail over Shogun that night.

Answers will be served once and for all and all disputes regarding the ufc Light Heavyweight title will be finally be settled when Brazilian superstars kick, punch and pummel it down to the last seconds or until the lights go out.

Issues and controversial decisions late last year led to a very disgruntled fan base. Even hardcore fans and veteran fighters alike have voiced their disgust about the bad scoring system that ultimately decides the fate of the warriors if the fight goes to the judges’ scorecards.

Even top UFC mogul Dana White had been equally dismayed by the smorgasbord of great fights going down the drain because of controversial decisions of incompetent judges with limited perspective because of their stationary view of the fight.

Mayweather Faces Mosley

Prior to the Mayweather vs Mosley live stream bout on May 1, the U.S Anti-Doping Agency or USADA has subjected the two fighters to four blood draws and eight urine tests in a random manner. This will prove that they are both clean once they enter the ring. This is not required by the Neveda State Athletic Commission but since Floyd insisted on doing such tests, Mosley has no choice but to agree.

Richard Schaefer an executive of Golden Boy Promotions is favoring Shane Mosley to win in this bout and he doesn’t want to hear another word about Mosley’s use of BALCO in 2003. He credits Mosley that he can show to the world that he is the best boxer.

Hours from now we will be witnessing the Mosley vs Mayweather classic bout. We all have our bets, we all have our predictions and we all have our prayers on who will win the fight.

Give Me More Manny

Excited for the Pacquiao vs Clottey live stream, you're not the only one. Here's a big Manny fan who's more than excited than anybody else.

Jerry Jones wants to monopolize the staging of big-time boxing and the Texas billionaire is training his sights on hosting future Manny Pacquiao fights at Cowboys Stadium.

"I am confident that when we see how the structure of the venue, what we do, what the presentation of the fight, how it really creates additional aura and additional excitement to the fight, it’s going to be hard to find some place else," said Jones as Pacquiao was working out in front of the public Tuesday at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.

Coupled with Pacquiao’s enormous popularity, the Cowboys Stadium, what with its ultra-modern features, can compete alongside the more recognizable venues across America, including the heavyweight in Las Vegas, according to Jones.

"It’s like a Super Bowl. Pacquiao transcends boxing in terms of the credibility that it gives our Cowboys Stadium," said Jones, who had initially dangled a $25 million site fee to host Pacquiao’s aborted face-off with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

"The main reason I wanted the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was Manny, and he was the draw so certainly when that didn’t work, it had my interest piqued and I knew I wanted to get him here at all cost," said Jones, who secured the rights to the Pacquiao vs Clottey bout for a reported $7 million.

If everything falls into place this weekend, Jones is expected to be at the forefront of promoting another Pacquiao headliner, possibly against Mayweather. Top Rank, which is joining hands with Jones, has a time-table that is already been set for Paqcquiao.

"October or November," said Top Rank publicist Ricardo Jimenez when asked when his company intends to have the next Pacquiao fight.

"But it would all depend on the (result of the) elections," added Jimenez, aware that Pacquiao is running for congress in the Philippines in May.
