Understanding the OSI Model: Concepts and Applications in Networking

Understanding the OSI Model: Concepts and Applications in Networking

In the 1980s, an organization called ISO (International Organization for Standardization) developed a network architecture model known as the Open System Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model for Open Networking. The OSI Model was designed to support the development of networking methods during that time. Today, although the OSI layer model has become less common than the…

Choosing the Best Multimode Cable: OM1, OM2, OM3, or OM4

In fiber optic networking, there are two main types of cables: single-mode and multimode cables. Multimode fiber optic cables have a core size ranging from 50 to 100 micrometers, which is significantly larger than single-mode cables. This larger core size allows for higher bandwidth transmission, accommodating more optical signal traffic compared to single-mode cables. Global…
