Power Solution for Switches

An optical network terminal (ONT) unit is a device that connects fiber optics cables to other wiring such as Ethernet and phone lines by converting the signal from optical to electrical and vice versa. Though they draw power from an electrical source, these devices also often have battery backup options in case of a power outage. It is typically part of a larger GPON (gigabyte passive optical netw...

Network-attached storage (NAS) is a data storage option that is quickly growing in popularity. A NAS system is a centralized storage server that is connected to a network and able to be accessed by any authorized user within the network. These systems provide convenience and flexibility by being able to be physically stored and maintained on-site, as well as the ability to have their storage scale...

Small cell base stations are more useful than ever with the ubiquity of smartphones, rising data usage, and the advent of 5G. However, small cell base station designs must meet these demands as well as weight and volume restrictions, without sacrificing performance or significantly increasing power consumption. Todays wireless market demands reliability and flexibility wherever possible, so new pr...

Cloud computing, AI and machine learning, and other game-changing innovations are spreading across the technology industry and becoming ubiquitous in consumers everyday lives. However, supporting the increased data and processing needs of these technologies requires servers and data centers to be able to deliver at higher rates than ever before. Servers have to handle ever-increasing amounts of da...

However, supporting the increased processing and data needs of these technologies requires servers and data centers to be able to deliver at greater rates than ever before. High power density than ever has to fit into shrink...

Optical line cards are a critical element in setting up high-speed data and network connections, as they link the router to an external network through an optical fiber interface. Often part of a router or switch, these devices need to offer low standby power, PoE, high energy efficiency, and excellent thermal management — all at a low cost in shrinking solution sizes. For end users to receive rel...
